MANILA (Mabuhay) — Robin Padilla, who recently turned 46-years old, revealed he and wife Mariel are again on a honeymoon.
Apparently, Mariel’s doctor advised them to try to conceive anew a year after she had undergone dilation and curettage. Robin said it took his wife quite some time before having the procedure done.
“Good news sa akin ‘yun. Sa kanya kasi proseso ‘yun. Una alam mo naman babae ‘yan and gusto niya magkaanak kaya nang sinabing wala na umasa na lang siya sa milagro. Pero ang tagal nun. ‘Yung doktora niya nagpunta pa sa Hungary eh nandun kami sa Budhapest. Nagpunta siya doon para sabihin lang sa kanya na kailangan ng tanggalin baka kung ano pang maging resulta nun. Hindi pa rin. Ang tigas ng ulo niya. Itong naglabasan na mga kaibigan niya sinuportahan siya medyo lumakas ang loob. Para sa akin good news,” related Robin.
He added that he understood what Mariel went through because he saw how devastated she was. He even said that his wife gained much weight due to depression.
“Sandali Lang ako na-depress. Sa ‘Happy Wife’ ang payat niya pero after mangyari ‘yun biglang lumaki,” described Robin. “Pero na-shock ako. Tatlo ‘yun eh. Tatlong nabuo na ‘yung mga pangarap. Nabuo na mga plano biglang ganun na lang pala ‘yun.”

He also recalled that during his wife’s depression he deemed himself “a clown” who would always try to make her smile and happy.
With regards to their respective showbiz careers, Robin revealed that they are both going to be very busy. Everyone saw Mariel hosting “Pinoy Big Brother” recently and he said more shows are in the offing for Mariel on ABS-CBN. She just have to rest some more, however.
“Tapusin mo muna pagpa-raspa mo. Mabait naman sila dun sabi nila bibigyan ka na lang ng iba. Kaya ang ganda ng mangyayari sa buhay niya para akin. Nakakapagod ‘yun sa kanya pero mawawala ang isip niya sa depression,” he expressed.
As for Robin, he is slated to do a TV show with ABS-CBN according to her manager Betchay Vidanes. He also has a movie in the works which he is excited about.
Robin also celebrated his 46th birthday last Nov. 23 signing a contract with Northern Cement Corporation as their newest brand ambassador.
With regards to this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival, Robin confessed that he would miss it “dearly.” He is happy though that his role in “Nilalang” went to Cesar Montano.
“Merong high ang MMFF lalo na may mission ako dun. Basta sa MMFF meron akong gustong panindigan dun. Malaking kawalan ‘yun saka project ko ‘yun. Gusto kong malaman ng lahat na project ko ‘yun pero maligaya akong napunta ‘yung project kay Buboy,” said Robin.
He also considered it an honor that a multi-awarded actor like Cesar replaced him.
“Hindi ko pa naaabot ‘yung naabot ni Cesar sa larangan ng mga awards siguro karangalan ko na kaming dalawa lagi ang naghahalinhinan sa mga roles.Supprtado ko siya…sayang kasi hindi kami natuloy hindi ko naipakita ‘yung himasko. Iba naman ang himas Montano,” jested Robin. (MNS)
