Mariel Rodriguez & Amy Perez - OFFICIALLY newest members of ITS SHOWTIME!

Was this really a surprise to anyone? About a month or so ago, Mariel Rodriguez and Amy Perez were guest hosting for one week to fill in for Anne Curtis who was in Japan at that time filming a commercial. After that week, they were still hosting, then the following week, they were both still there and last week they were there present as well as part of the New Years Best of SHOWTIME 2015 recap episodes. I guess it was just a matter of time before it became official and now it is.

After the energetic opening number and the ITS SHOWTIME theme opening for the first live program of 2016 with the spiels, Vhong Navarro, Karylle and Vice Ganda made it official by welcoming both talented female hosts to the ITS SHOWTIME family complete with a video package as well as flowers. Main host Anne Curtis called in from Patagonia, Argentina to welcome them to the family as well.

Both are veteran hosts from noontime: Mariel was on Wowowee as well as Pilipinas Win na Win and Happy Yipee Yehey while Amy Perez was on earlier than that with Sa Linggo nAPO Sila and  'Sang Linggo nAPO Sila.

Commentary: Glad to have both females as hosts on ITS SHOWTIME. My main concern is the budget for the show now. We have the 11 guys of #HASHTAGS as regulars and 2 more hosts besides the current main and co-hosts as well as the SHOWTIME dancers and XBGensan. I'd cost cut with of all the excessive birthday party fluff (weren't we the TRENDING capital of the Philippines now we are a glorified birthday party trending capital... happy yipee yehey? ) and put a big jackpot game at the end as well. By the way, I am happy that Tawag ng Tanghalan is part of ITS SHOWTIME. We have to go back to the talent part of the show and maybe reach out more to the madlang people, perhaps have an Ikaw Ang Bida segment.

First Elmo, next Mariel and Robin, now Gelli.... will Kylie Padilla and Jonalyn Viray lipat to ABS-CBN?

Was it just me or does it seem like a max exodus coming from GMA/TV5 to our friendly shores on ABS-CBN this year?

Before 2015 ends, we already have:

1.  Jolina and Marvin who recently starred on FlordeLiza
2. Bela Padilla on Ang Probinsyano
3.  Michelle Madrigal, Arci Munoz and Wendell Ramos currently on Pasion de Amor
4.  Claudine Barretto in an upcoming ABS project
5. Sharon Cuneta was a judge for the 2 seasons of Your Face Sounds Familiar.
6.  Jay-R and Kyla are already semi-regulars on ABS programming
7. Roxanne Guinoo starred on Walang Iwanan.
8. Edgar Allan and Maxene Magalona are on Doble Kara
9. Mariel Rodriguez (returned to PBB now currently guest hosting ITS SHOWTIME) and Robin Padilla (upcoming Kapamilya program) just returned
10. Sarah Lahbati will soon be part of the upcoming soap Written In Our Stars 
11. ...and before the year ends Elmo Magalona joins his sister on ABS-CBN and will have his launching project with rising Star Magic young leading lady Janella Salvador in Born For You
12. Gelli de Belen will soon be in an upcoming project in the Kapamilya Network

Now there are rumors that Kylie Padilla, daughter of Robin and Jonalyn Viray might be the next dominoes to make the jump to ABS-CBN.

Kylie Padilla is not under contract and finishing up Buena Familia on GMA next month. Could she be following the footsteps of her father Robin Padilla as well as her cousins Bela and Daniel Pailla?

Could you imagine Sarah, Angeline, Kyla and Jonalyn on ASAP together? Jonalyn Viray was quoted in an article saying that she wants to have future projects with the likes of Kapamilya singers Piolo Pascual, Yeng Constantino, Erik Santos as well as others. Could this be her sending feelers to our network?

Could they make the move? Would you welcome them into the network if they did come over?

Mariel Rodriguez says she feels happy to be friends with Robin Padilla’s kids

Accidental raw na nalaman ni Mariel Rodriguez ang plano ng kanyang asawang si Robin Padilla na pakasalan siya sa Vatican City. “Surprise nga daw ‘yon,” simula ni Mariel. “Tapos may nagsabi nga sa akin na taga-E-Live (tungkol sa plano ni Robin) so sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Babe, you know someone wants to interview me, they said… are we going to the Vatican?’ Sabi kong ganon, gulatan. Pero hindi ako nag-comment kasi hindi pa namin napag-uusapan, sabi niya ay sino’ng nagsabi sa ‘yo?” Ngayon nga ay hinahanda na ni Robin ang planong pumunta sila ni Mariel sa nasabing lugar para doon magpakasal.

Sobrang happy naman ni Mariel sa planong ito ni Robin. “Nagpapasalamat ako kasi hindi nawawala sa utak niya napag-usapan namin (ang kasal). I’m really very happy for my religion, more for me.”

In the meantime, bago raw sila matuloy sa Vatican ay uunahin muna ni Robin na dalawin ang kanyang mga anak na si Ali at Camille. Si Ali, na kanyang bunsong lalaki ay nasa Australia, samantalang nasa US naman ang isa pang anak niyang babae na si Camille.

“Nami-miss niya ‘yung mga anak niya, eh. Si Camille, I remember the first time I met her, we were in Greenhills. Tapos ang cute-cute ng reaction niya, “ Huh, oh my gosh, you’re Mariel!” aliw na aliw na kuwento ng misis ng action superstar.

Happy naman ngayon si Mariel dahil nararamdaman daw niya na bahagi na siya ng pamilya ni Robin. “Love na love ko rin silang lahat. Feel ko talaga I’m also part of their family. I’m really so blessed. Thank you so much na naging happy na ang mga tao for us.”

Robin Padilla hailed as one of the 'Men Who Matter'

MANILA, Philippines – People Asia Magazine published by Stargate Media Corp. hailed on Friday action star Robin Padilla as one of the "Men Who Matter."

Speaking to ABS-CBN News, Padilla said he did not expect to get the recognition.

Other awardees are rock legend Joey Pepe Smith, Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr., Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno, Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco, singer Jed Madela, and prominent businessmen.

They were recognized for their dedication to their respective professions and their determination to surmount the many life struggles that came their way.

Padilla, meanwhile, thanked all the avid viewers of his television series "Guns and Roses."

He also refuted the rumor saying his wife, actress Mariel Rodriguez, gets jealous when he does intimate scenes with actress Bea Alonzo in the said series.

Padilla also disclosed that he will play a superhero with unique superpowers in an upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry titled "Peter Wong."

Padilla said Rodriguez was the one who thought of the movie's concept.

The action star revealed, though, that Rodriguez won't be his leading lady in the movie. He said he wants actress Angelica Panganiban to be his partner in the film.

Padilla’s movie will be shown alongside MMFF entries starring Vic Sotto, Ai-Ai delas Alas, Bong Revilla and Judy Ann Santos. – Report from Mario Dumaual, ABS-CBN News
