The 26-year-old TV host is not sure when she will return to Pilipinas Win na Win!, but she promised not to leave her job. "Hindi ko alam. I really don't know. It can be a week, it can be a month or whatever. Babalik ako, promise. Thank you so much and be happy for me," she said. Mariel left the country in the midst of a controversy involving Robin Padilla. His former wife Liezl Sicangco said he hasn't been spending enough time with their 10-year-old son Ali and she wants the child to be under her care.
