What's Vina Morales' Reaction When Robin Padilla Tells Her That He's A Muslim Allowed To Have Four Wives

IT’S OBVIOUS that Robin Padilla is wooing Vina Morales anew. At the presscon of their Metro filmfest entry, “Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo”, his remarks about Vina may be called “palipad hangin”. As one writer said: “Baka nga naman makalusot uli kay Vina.” He even made it clear that he’s a Muslim and, as such, is entitled to have more than one wife. What can Vina say about this?
“Eversince naman talaga, hindi mahirap mahalin si Robin,” she says. “Alam natin lahat na napaka-lovable niya, di ba? Kaya lang, siempre, mahirap ang marami kang kahati sa pag-ibig. If you’re asking me now, I don’t want to be in a relationship na magulo. If Robin and his wife Mariel are both happy now, I am also happy for both of them.”

She says she and Robin didn’t have a good closure of their past relationship after she learned that Robin has already married Liesl and they already have kids. “Matagal na kaming hindi nagkikita. But while shooting ‘Bonifacio’, honestly, this time, habang nagba-bonding kami, humingi naman siya ng tawad. I was so happy that day. Nakakagaan ng damdamin. So, napatawad ko naman siya. And he’s really thankful that never naman akong nagsalita nang masama sa kanya even if, at that time, sobrang nasaktan ako. But really, talagang maganda ang aming pagsasamahan ngayon and I hope it will stay this way. And we’re so excited for the movie. Iyun ang pinakaimportante sa lahat, that the friendship is still there. Di ba, Bin?”To which Robin adds: “And the passion!” Vina laughs heartily. “Passion ka diyan! And the love. O, sige na nga, pagbigyan natin. Ha! Ha! Ha!”

If and when Vina decides to “make patol” anew to Robin, they can play with fire freely now since Robin’s wife Mariel is currently in the States to be with her U.S. based dad. Robin said he tried to go with her but his application for a U.S. visa was once again turned down by the embassy.
Robin says Vina is his personal choice as his leading lady. “Importante kasi ang chemistry at talaga namang malakas pa rin ang chemistry namin ni Vina. “Sabi nga ni Direk Eddie Garcia, pag hindi mo pinakialaman yan, pakikialaman ng iba yan. Pag pinakialaman ng iba yan, sising alipin ka. Kaya pinakialaman ko na.”

In “Bonifacio”, Robin plays the title role and Vina is his wife, Gregoria de Jesus or Oriang. To make the historical film more palatable for “masa” and younger viewers, it starts in the present with three students researching on Bonifacio: Daniel and RJ Padilla, plus Jasmine Curtis Smith. An old man, Eddie Garcia, acts as the narrator who tells them what really happened to Bonifacio. Also in the big cast are Jericho Rosales as Jose Rizal, Isko Moreno as Padre Burgos, Rommel Padilla as Padre Gomez, Dennis Marasigan as Padre Zamora, Jun Nayra as Emilio Aguinaldo, Junjun Quintana and Cholo Barretto as Bonifacio’s brothers Procopio and Ciriaco, Ping Medina as Ladislao Diwa, Joem Bascon as Emilio Jacinto, Isabel Oli as Nonay and Richard Quan as Plata.
According to Director Enzo Williams who studied filmmaking in L.A., they aim to tell the correct story about our iconic hero, especially the real events about his tragic death that they say is misrepresented in history and pop culture.
