“I’m a Star Magic Ball virgin,” was what Meryl Soriano said when she was asked how she feels attending the third annual Star Magic Ball. She arrived with Joem Bascon, who obviously was her date but she refused to answer the question if they are an item already. “Hindi. ‘Wag na, walang ganun.”
On the issue regarding her dad Willie Revillame disrespecting President Cory Aquino’s cortege, Meryl believes that her dad is strong enough to get through this controversy and that he just needs time to rest. “Okay naman (siya). Nagpapahinga pa rin siya,” Meryl confirmed. When asked if she sees her dad depressed about the matter, she said, “Hindi naman. He’s getting better. We’ve been talking. He’s okay. I felt sad alam ko na gustong gusto ni Papa gawin yung show, alam niyo naman yun yung passion niya, but it’s also good kasi he’s getting (better). Ang fresh-fresh ng itsura niya ngayon.”
Meryl also feels her dad’s words during the live show were just misinterpreted. “Misunderstanding lang yon kasi he forewarned na hindi dapat ipagsabay. So siyempre nung nag-on air na di ba nga, mali lang rin yung pagkakasabi. But at the same time we cannot (do anything about it), it already happened. He (already) asked for an apology. Okay naman na sa family ng mga Aquino so okay na yun.”
When asked if her dad feels disappointed with ABS-CBN, she just said: “Naku, hindi ko alam, eh. I cannot speak on his behalf kasi siyempre yung ganon di naming pinaguusapan yun.” Meryl also said that she knows that people are already awaiting her dad’s return on Wowowee. “Nami-miss na siya ng mga tao so I guess alam naman niya yun, at least makikita ng mga tao na sobrang refreshed siya.”
