Mariel Padilla congratulated Camille Villar as a first-time mom
Celebrity vlogger Mariel Padilla called the daughter of Senator Camille Villar the heir of “brilyante ng lupa,” and this received comments from netizens.
Mariel and Camille have been friends for many years. Their friendship with Shalani Soledad started when they were co-hosts of veteran game show host Willie Revillame. Even after their hosting stints together, they maintained the bond they had.
A few days ago, the Senator welcomed her first baby, a girl named Claudia. This was a celebration for Camille’s father, former Senator Manny Villar, who said that this was “so much love and joy.”
Mariel Padilla was one of the people who expressed happiness for the first-time mother. In a post on her Threads account, the wife of Senator Robin Padilla congratulated Sen. Camille Villar and her husband, Erwin Genuino.
“Congratulations camillevillar__ and @erwin___. Just last month we were celebrating your baby shower, and now little Claudia is here already!!! The most adorable baby ever!” Mariel wrote in the caption of her post featuring her photos with the Senator and their friends during the baby shower event. Then, Mariel called Camille’s daughter “tigapagmana ng brillante ng lupa!”
It is known to many that Villar’s family business is mainly focused on land properties, subdivisions, and grocery stores.
Mariel’s post was shared on Reddit, and this received negative reactions from netizens. Some netizens said that Villars have an insatiable desire to own lands where they could put their businesses, while some netizens criticized Mariel and what she said about Camille’s daughter. For some netizens, what Mariel posted was out of touch. Here are some comments.
Meanwhile, Mariel Padilla defended her husband, Senator Robin Padilla, last month when he was accused of flashing his middle finger during the singing of the Philippine National Anthem. The Senator debunked the write-up about this and stressed that it was his index finger because he is a Muslim, and that is how they would show respect to the Philippine flag.
