Celebrity couple Mariel Rodriguez and Robin Padilla are having a baby girl.
The “It’s Showtime” host made the announcement in her first vlog entry on Sunday where she shared highlights and behind-the-scenes clips of their gender reveal party held at The Bellevue Manila in Muntinlupa City.
“The best part is even si Robin, hindi niya alam [‘yung gender ng baby],” revealed Mariel in the first few minutes of the vlog. “As in this is the biggest secret that I’ve kept from him, and I tell him everything. Ito ‘yung talagang sinecret ko. There were times na madudulas na ako pero ginalingan ko talaga na i-surprise siya sa gender ng aming baby number two.”
Moments before the gender reveal, Robin said that he’s guessing a girl based on Mariel’s glow.
“Naguguluhan lang ako,” he added. “Minsan hindi ko mabasa kasi ‘yung paglilihi naman ni Mariel ngayon, matindi. Minsan, iniisip ko, baka lalaki ‘to. ‘Yung paglilihi niya ngayon, iba eh. Pati ako nadadamay.”

But according to the seasoned actor, whether it’s a girl or a boy doesn’t matter as long as the child grows up to be kind and compassionate.
“Gusto ko ‘yung anak ko makatulong doon sa tradisyon ng pamilya na makatulong doon sa less fortunate,” he said.
He also thanked Mariel for her unconditional love as his wife and mother of his two children.
“Ngayon, alam ko, walk in the park na lang ‘to sa ‘yo. Hindi na ‘to magiging mahirap sa anumang aspeto. Salamat sa ginintuang pag-ibig mo sa mga anak mo at sa akin. Mahal na mahal kita,” he said.
The climax of the video showed Mariel and Robin pulling a bouquet of pink flowers from a gigantic basket, followed by a shower of confetti of the same color, which meant they are expecting a baby girl.
