Although she works closely with Mariel Rodriguez in Happy Yipee Yehey! (HYY), Toni Gonzaga maintained that she’s not in the position to answer queries about the former’s rumored transfer to a rival network. As it is, Mariel has been absent from the noontime show for two consecutive episodes now. “Yes, decision niya yun, Irespeto natin kung anong desisyon niya ngayon. Hindi natin alam ang mga desisyon niya. At kahit na alam ko man, hindi naman siguro magandang sa akin manggaling dahil personal yung paglipat na nangyayari. So, if ever man na matuloy o kung hindi, I think ang dapat na sumagot niyan ay si Mariel,” said Toni in an interview at the PMPC Stars For A Cause at SM Skydome last September 18.
Rumos has it that Mariel has had a closed door meeting with the ABS-CBN management regarding her alleged resignation effective last September 17. “Siyempre, hindi naman natin mapapangunahan yung desisyon ng mga tao. Kasi buhay nila yun e. Nandito lang tayo para umintindi at sumuporta. So, yun na lang siguro.”
When asked if it’s true that Mariel held a farewell party in HYY last September 16, Toni simply replied, “Actually nung Friday wala ako. Nagkasakit kasi ako. So, narinig ko lang 'yan. mahirap siguro na magsalita ako dahil hindi ko naman alam kung ano ang nangyari doon, e. Kung siguro nando'n ako, puwede akong makapagbigay ng detalye.”
The Multimedia Star added that she and the rest of her colleagues in HYY aren’t privy yet to Mariel’s final decision. “Sa ngayon kasi, wala pa akong alam na concrete na decision niya. So hindi ko alam kung ano ang mararamdaman ko. Lahat kami parang naka-hang kami. Naghihintay din lang kami.”
