Celebrity mom Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla recently sparked controversy by sharing a photo of herself receiving a gluta drip session in the office of her husband, Senator Robinhood Padilla. The Instagram post, which has since been deleted, drew criticism from netizens who found the act inappropriate for the setting of a senator’s office.
One social media user expressed disbelief, stating, “Naku po naman mariel🤷🤦🤦 hanggang sa senado dala dala mo pa yang arte sa buhay..senado po yan para sa batas.! Hindi po yan Beauty Salon!!” This sentiment was echoed by others who felt that the senator’s office was not the right place for such personal activities.
However, opinions were divided, with some defending Mariel’s actions. “OA ng mga tao dito. I don’t find anything wrong with that getting done there. It’s a private office room I’m assuming. Some things just need to get done. May mga masabi lang ang mga tao talaga. Masyadong mapanghusga,” one comment read, suggesting that the criticism was overblown.
Others used the incident to reflect on their support for Senator Padilla, with one user regretting their vote: “Sayang boto ko kala ko namn kasi ok.. kasu eto sya oh hahhaa ginawang salon ang opisina.” The incident not only brought attention to Mariel’s actions but also to the public perception of the senator’s role and the use of his office.

What bothers me is the fact na walang second thoughts sa paggawa nito? Like, walang small voice inside their head na, “hmmm parang ang kapal natin dito?”. This on top of Biana Manalo’s Malacañang birthday party, Philippine politics truly is a circus. https://t.co/liMuDNdaO5
