Is Mariel Padilla a Muslim or a Catholic?
MARIEL PADILLA – The Kapamilya host Mariel Padilla answers whether she is a Muslim or still a Catholic after posting photo wearing Hijab for Eid al-Fitr.
As much as anyone can remember, Mariel Padilla tied the knot with Robin Padilla in a private ceremony in Taj Mahal in India way back in 2010. Her husband is a Muslim while she is a Catholic but recently, in celebration of Eid Mubarak on Wednesday, she paid respect for our brothers and sisters in Islam.
“Eid Mubarak to our brothers and sisters in Islam,” says Mariel in an Instagram post.
However, according to PUSH, someone asked her, “Alam nyo po ba kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng [pagsusuot] nyo ng hijab? Or ginagawa nyo lang po itong isang costume para ipakita sa publiko?”
And she answered, “I am not a Muslim. I am a Catholic. I was born a Catholic and I still am. But I respect my husband’s religion therefore kasama niyo ako sa pag gugunita ng Eid Al Fitr kaya bumati kami ng anak ko ng Eid Mubarak sa lahat ng mga kapatid namin sa Islam (kasama ka doon).”
Moreover, “Nasa loob kami ng mosque. ‘Diba ‘yan ang tamang kasuotan sa loob ng mosque? ‘Diba dapat naka hijab sa loob ng mosque?”
This is despite the fact that she is loyal to her faith while being a Catholic. She joined her husband, supports him, and respects his religion. And by far, this one of the purest form of love – no religion could ever hinder.
Meanwhile, in a post of Robin, he stated, “If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, it is not to take place without her approval. She is not to be prevented from visiting her church to pray.”
