Mariel Rodriguez couldn’t help but ask Robin Padilla about his stance on men being naturally inclined to give in to temptation.
In her latest vlog, she confronted Robin on his viral remarks, which he made during an interview with comedian Ogie Diaz.
“Meron bang instance sa relasyon natin na natukso ka?” she asked her husband.
Padilla jokingly said she allows him to look at other women when they are abroad. “Pinapayagan mo naman ako kapag nasa abroad tayo na tumingin tingin, ha!” he said.
But Mariel said she never gave him any permission to stare at other women.
“Hindi ako pumapayag. Never ako pumayag, hello… Kaya nabibitin yung mga shopping ko eh, mabilis na mabilis lang.
“Nasa isang mall kami sa Russia, nag-shopping ako ng sobrang bilis, sabi niya o ‘tapos ka na? Ang dami mga magagandang babae, lahat pala ng mga magagandang babae sa mundong to, nandito pala sa Russia!’ Natapos ang shopping ko, nawalan ako ng gana.”
Robin earlier told Diaz that he doesn’t believe men can resist temptations.
“Sa panahon ngayon, huwag tayo maglokohan. Sa panahon ngayon, hindi ako naniniwala na merong lalaking makakatanggi sa tukso. Basta walang pisikal na nangyari. Iyan iwasan natin. Huwag darating doon. Pangit.”
The veteran actor explained his statement, saying that giving into temptations doesn’t equate to cheating unless an action has been done.
“Hindi lahat ng tukso, ibig sabihin, you fell for it. Iintindihin nila muna bago nila ako huhusgahan. Kasi yung iba, hindi nila napanood ng buo yung interview…. Hindi porket sinabi na natukso ka, may ginawa ka na. Wow! Ang sama naman magisip ng mga yon. Napaka masyado ka nang forward.
“Ako ay nagsasalita sa aking experience. Experience ko yon nung ako ay nasa tugatog ng aking kasikatan… Ang tukso sa atin, realidad ‘yan. Kasama yon sa everyday life.”
At the end of the day, both want to leave the rest of their lives peacefully, with Mariel claiming that she remains a happy wife.
“I’m a happy wife. Yun ata ang hindi masyadong ma-gets ng iba. Alam mo yon? Na I’m happy.” she said.
