MANILA, Philippines- Robin Padilla said hosting TV5's “Talentadong Pinoy” is not an issue with ABS-CBN.
Before he accepted hosting the show and being part of the weekly series “Jasmine,” Robin asked for the Kapamilya network's permission.
“Okay pa rin naman po kami ng ABS,” Robin said during the presscon of “Talentadog Pinoy” on Monday. “Ano lang po ito, noong unang labas ko pa lang po sa TV5, 'yong Jasmine, nagpaalam na ako.
“Tapos nang mapag-usapan namin 'to ni Ma'am Wilma [Galvante], nakipag-usap ako sa ABS, nagpaalam ako para dito sa Talentadong Pinoy. Masaya naman sila dahil magkasama kami ni Mariel. Masaya naman si Ms. Cory [Vidanes], nag-wish naman sila ng good luck.”
He further adds, “sa tanda kong ito ayoko na ng [issue], mahirap na!”
After the press conference, Robin was able to answer more questions from the media.
He was asked to describe the difference of hosting “Talentadong Pinoy” with Mariel, from hosting “Wowowee” where they first met.
“Naku medyo malaki rin, kasi 'yong Wowowee ang role ko lang do'n kumanta lang, e,” he said. “Kakanta lang ako, sila Mariel na lahat. E, dito opening pa lang ako na, mahirap din 'yong trabaho. Pero siyempre kapag gumagawa ka ng gusto mo, hindi nakakapagod. Masaya.”
He added that his wife carefully observes how he hosts, and corrects him like when needed.
As for comparisons with former 'Talentado' host Ryan Agoncillo, Robin said there should be no competition.
“Hindi sila puwede magkaro'n ng comparison dahil magkaiba naman, e. Ako'y action star talaga,”
He added that “wala akong balak na makipaglaban sa kanila o makipagpaligsahan. Sabi ko nga, anytime na gusto 'tong balikan ni Ryan di ako issue.”
“Talentadong Pinoy” will start airing on Saturday, August 16, 7 p.m. on TV5.
