“Happy Yippee Yehey” host Toni Gonzaga reacts to reports that former cohost Mariel Rodriguez transferred to another network because of her:
“We’re OK. I don’t know where all this talk is coming from. Of course, kung anong napag-usapan namin ni Mariel sa amin na lang ’yon. However, let me assure everyone that there’s no issue between me and Mariel. We’re on speaking terms. Hindi na mauulit ’yong dati na akala n’yo may misunderstanding lagi, may rift. Kung ano man ang nangyari, ang nabasa natin, I don’t think I can answer for Mariel. As for myself, I will not say anything against her because in the almost five years we’ve worked together, Mariel has been a sister to me. As I told her before, kaming lahat sa show will always wish her the best. We wish her well.”—Marinel R. Cruz
