Mariel Rodriguez on intrigues: “Anything you throw at me, I will answer.”
Mariel feels happy for the success of Entertainment Live!
Instead of minding all the intrigues thrown at her, Mariel Rodriguez simply ignores them. In fact, the TV host-actress admitted that she has become more open in answering questions about her.
At the media junket prepared for Mariel by her newest product endorsement, Zen Zest, at The Spa, Bonifacio High Street in Taguig City, the Entertainment Live! host told PEP (Philippines Entertainment Portal) that she just lets her detractors do their thing.
“It’s okay, because I really can’t please them,” said Mariel. “Just me, I’m just doing my best, right? Then as much as possible, I try to be more positive, maybe. All I look at are the positive write-ups, the positive comments, that kind of thing.
“Because, who cares, there’s no one… It’s just, if Kris Aquino is that bad, what more is someone like me, right? So, that’s really it.”
The 24-year-old TV host-actress gave credit to Pinoy Big Brother, where she became a celebrity houseguest for several weeks, for becoming stronger in taking all these intrigues.
She said, “You know what, after my PBB experience, it really made me a stronger person. I can do anything after that, and it’s true. At first, I thought my world is going to fall apart because people didn’t understand me. But then, it was just magnified.”
Mariel also believes she should not hide anything from the public, especially she’s hosting an entertainment talk show. Besides, she added, she has nothing to hide.
“Now, really, no matter what, I can handle it. Before, before the press conference, my heart really [beats really fast]. When I’m at the press conference, I’m always nervous. Now, no matter what you throw at me, I’ll answer it, I can handle it. Because I have nothing to hide, eh.”
ENTERTAINMENT TURNS ONE. Aside from getting more endorsements, Mariel is also glad that her weekly entertainment talk show with Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzalez, and Luis Manzano has survived its first year. “You know, I can’t believe it. Imagine, we’ve been on Entertainment Live for one year. Somehow, we survived,” exclaimed Mariel.
