TV host Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla has apparently unfollowed longtime showbiz colleagues Angel Locsin and Anne Curtis from her Instagram following list.
While a social media unfollow might seem trivial on the surface, the timing and political backdrop behind this particular digital distance have fueled widespread online discussion.
The online drama traces back to a rare social media post from Angel. Breaking her extended hiatus from the public eye, the Darna star published a direct, reflective statement addressed to her former co-star and current senator, Robin Padilla. Angel called out Robin’s political stances, reminding him that his oath and primary loyalty belong to the Filipino public rather than any single individual.
Her message quickly went viral across platforms, drawing praise and solidarity from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Among those showing support was It’s Showtime host Anne Curtis, who playfully welcomed Angel back to the social media space with the comment:
“Welcome back mars, ay Darna pala.”
Afterwhich, netizens discovered that neither Angel Locsin nor Anne Curtis appeared in Mariel Padilla’s active following list despite Mariel having regularly engaged with and liked both actresses’ posts in the past.
As of reporting, while Mariel appears to have unfollowed both stars, both Angel Locsin and Anne Curtis still follow Mariel’s Instagram account.
