TV5 Confirms That Robin Padilla And Mariel Rodriguez Will Replace Ryan Agoncillo As Host Of 'Talentadong Pinoy'

THE SEARCH is over. After Ryan Agoncillo decided not to return as a host in the new season of “Talentadong Pinoy”, TV5 searched for his replacement and many names cropped up, like Willie Revillame, Ogie Alcasid, Marvin Agustin, Richard Gomez. Now, TV5 has announced that the replacement is not just one person but a couple, Robin Padilla and his wife Mariel Rodriguez.

This means Robin is now a bonafide Kapatid star. After all, he was just with Jasmine Curtis Smith in her self-titled show that just ended last Sunday. As for Mariel, she was a co-host of Willie before in his “Wowowillie”. Robin made sure he is not stepping on anyone’s toes before he accepted the show.

“Nilinaw ko muna kung ano talaga ang nangyari sa ibang napabalitang magiging hosts, like Ryan and Willie, at nang mapaliwanag nila nang malinaw ang sitwasyon sa akin, dun pa lang namin ito tinanggap ni Mariel,” he says. “Actually, hindi ko rin sinabi agad kay Mariel ang offer sa amin. Siniguro ko munang matutuloy ito bago ko siya sinabihan. Kasi baka mamaya, hindi matuloy, made-depress lang siya kasi noon pa namin pangarap na magkasama kami uli sa pagho-hosting. Di ba diyan kami noon nagkakilala nang mag-pinch hit ako kay Willie sa ABS-CBN before? Natutuwa talaga akong magkakasama kami uli ng misis ko sa trabaho.”
