Ogie Diaz: Mariel Rodriguez is pregnant!

Ogie Diaz: Mariel Rodriguez is pregnant!

They say that third time's the charm. Here's to hoping and praying that Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla's third pregnancy will be smooth sailing.

Mariel’s pregnancy was revealed by her good friend Ogie Diaz on his Twitter account at past 2 a.m. on May 12.

“Wow! Buntis pala uli si @marieltpadilla! Congrats, mare! Yan na yun!,” the comedian said.

If this is true, then this is happy news for the Mariel and her husband, action star Robin Padilla. Mariel suffered two miscarriages last year. Mariel was carrying triplets when she miscarried the second time.

Neither Robin or Mariel, however, have confirmed the news.

The couple is currently preoccupied defending themselves against claims that they violated COMELEC’s election rules. Mariel came under fire for wearing a shirt with Du30 printed on it on election day, while Robin posted a photo of a shaded ballot.

In an Instagram post, Mariel stressed that she is not aware of any violations she committed, and proceeded to enumerate COMELEC rules. In the end, however, Mariel apologized if her actions offended others. She also defended her husband, saying that the photo Robin posted was that of a sample ballot.

people should be more careful. they shouldn’t assume! IT WAS A SAMPLE BALLOT!!! we call this the Trillanes Syndrome… no evidence all talk. if anyone can prove that Robin Padilla went to a precinct, voted and took photos of his ballot I will help you convict him. I am that sure that Robin didn’t do that… why? because ROBIN PADILLA CAN NOT VOTE!!!!

honestly, i really don’t think that i did anything unlawful. i have reviewed the reminders of the voting rules. 1. i did not take photos inside the precinct because the comelec in charge told me it was not allowed. photo was taken in my personal car and outside the precinct where volunteers took photos with me as well so I thought I didn’t disobey any rule. 2. noone has seen my ballot. 3. i am aware that you are not allowed to wear a shirt that states the NAME of your candidate or his/her face. DU30 is not his name. if i have offended anyone i humbly ask for your forgiveness but it was never my intention to break the rules. Thank you for your understanding. ????
