MANILA — Following former host, Ryan Agoncillo’s transfer to the Kapuso Network, couples Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez confirmed that they will be hosting TV5 Network’s “Talentadong Pinoy.”

The show was formerly rumored to have been offered to Willie Revillame who rejected the offer after the failed come back of his show, Wowowillie.

Padilla, meanwhile said that he made sure that negotiations with the network were properly made before he accepted the project.

“Siyempre una kong inalam, ayokong may masasagasaan, tinanong ko agad kung ano ang nangyari kay Ryan, tapos yung pangalawa, yung usapan kay Willie bago ko tinanggap,” Padilla said in an interview for the Philippine Entertainment Portal. 

(The first thing I did was to know what happened, to Ryan, then to Willie before I accepted the offer.)

Padilla said he only revealed the negotiations to Rodriguez only lately, when he was already sure about the project.

“Hindi ko agad sinabi sa kanya kasi kapag sinabi ko sa kanya at ‘di natuloy made-depress dahil matagal na naming pangarap na magsama uli sa hosting.

(At first I didn’t disclosed it with her because she might get depressed if the project wouldn’t push through. We really wanted to be together in hosting again.)

“Nung sigurado na, nung si Ma’am Wilma [Galvante] na ang nagsabi sa akin, dun ko sinabi sa kanya na mayroon kaming bagong project.

(When I was sure of it, when Ma’am Wilma Galvante told me, that was the only time I decided to tell her.)

It could be noted that the couples met while hosting together on Wowowee, Revillame’s show in ABS-CBN, before he transferred to TV5’s Wowowillie.

“Alam niyo naman na doon nabuo ang pag-iibigan namin. Para sa amin isang malaking regalo ito para sa anibersaryo namin sa August 19,” he added.

(You all know that our relationship started there. This is a big gift for our second anniversary on August 19.)
