Robin Padilla is open to becoming a regular Wowowee host

Positive feedbacks poured in when Robin Padilla graced noon-time show Wowowee last Saturday, May 16, where he became a guest co-host. Robin also announced on The Buzz yesterday that he will continue to cover this week for Willie Revillame, who is still on an indefinite leave. “Siyempre nagpapasalamat po tayo sa lahat ng ating mga Kapamilya dito sa Inang Bayan at siyempre po ‘yung mga taga-TFC na nasa ibat-ibang sulok ng daigdig. Maraming, maraming salamat po sa pagtanggap,” Robin said. Wowowee co-hosts — Pokwang, Mariel Rodriguez and Valerie Concepcion — were all praises toward Robin, whom they described as kind, down-to-earth, and a natural host.

Robin’s mom, Eva Cariño, who was very excited for her son, came to ABS-CBN and was even part of the audience last Saturday to give him support. “Alam mo ba kagabi hindi ako makatulog sa tuwa o sa nerbiyos,” she said in an interview with The Buzz. “Pero isang karangalan ‘yon sa amin na kinuha siyang host sa Wowowee na ito ang number one na show ngayon sa atin di ba?”

While it is still uncertain if Willie would return to the Wowowee soon, there are rumors that Robin could be the host’s possible replacement. “Ang magdedesisyon nito ay ang ABS-CBN at si Ka Willie,” Robin said regarding the issue. “Sila po ang nagbuklod at nagbigay kaligayahan sa bayan.” When asked if he will accept to become the new Wowowee host if he was offered the post, Robin replied, “Pwede naman kaming dalawa ni Ka Willie. Ang importante ay tayo po ay magkaroon ng pagkakaisa. Hindi tayo dapat pag-umpisahan ng alinlangan at alingasngas. Tayo ay andito para magbigay ng silbi sa tao.”
