The Robin Padilla and Maria Ozawa movie project in the Philippines has been cancelled. The movie “Nilalang”, a Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry has already been pulled out of MMFF and will no longer join the annual film festival.
The reason for the cancellation is Robin Padilla decided to give his time and full attention to his wife Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla who is pregnant with triplets.
On his Instagram account, a message was posted by Betchay Vidanes on behalf of Robin Padilla:
This message is to announce to the dear public that Mr. Robin Padilla and my team Vidanes Celebrity Marketing will no longer be part of the movie ‘Nilalang’, which was scheduled to compete in the annual Metro Manila Film Festival in December 2015.
It is with great regret that we have to inform all that due to extenuating personal circumstances, Mr. Robin Padilla has had to make the decision to withdraw from the film. I would like to let you know that this decision making process has been very hard as Mr. Padilla’s reputation shows that he has the highest regards for those he commits to work with. But his withdrawal is due to the fact of needing to attend to his wife Mariel, as she is experiencing a delicate pregnancy. Mariel is currently pregnant with triplets, and also suffered a miscarriage in March of this year.
Due to this, Mr. Padilla feels that he needs to focus and prioritize the wellbeing of his family and has decided to forego his role as Tony in the movie Nilalang.
The decision to withdraw from the film has been very difficult for Mr. Padilla and VCM team. This cancellation has been a collective resolution of Vidanes Celebrity Marketing and Mr. Padilla and Haunted Tower Productions are not at fault in any way. We acknowledge that we hold no claims or rights to this movie whether it is produced or not.
On behalf of Mr. Robin Padilla and Vidanes Celebrity Marketing, we would like to ask to the producers and the public for their understanding and kind consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Betchay Vidanes
On behalf Of
Robin Padilla
There are two reserved films to replace Nilalang – the John Lloyd Cruz-starrer “Conman” and Lovi Poes “Lakambini”.
