Actor Robin Padilla and his wife, Mariel Rodriguez Padilla, are just some of the many people who have taken up gardening ever since the quarantine began.
However, Robin’s plants withered much to his dismay.
He can now relate to what farmers feel when their crops become infested with pests. “Tunay na may kalungkutan ang pagiging magsasaka kapag apektado ang kanyang mga tanim. Napakaliit ng aming taniman @marieltpadilla iilan pa lamang ang aming alagang mga gulay pero Napakasakit pa lang mapeste. Namatayan ako ng tatlong puno ng sili, kasalukuyang nanghihina ang 3 puno ng okra at 2 puno ng talong. Ang bilis ng paglaganap ng peste!”

Meanwhile, this pandemic has also turned the Padilla couple into chefs as they spend most of their time at home with their kids and in the kitchen. Mariel has started to share her ‘Merienda’ recipes online using only simple ingredients found in the pantry.

Mariel also started hosting the “Cooking Ina Show With Mommy Mariel Padilla” where she cooks the best kind of foods via Facebook Live.

The couple has been mentally stressed during the course of the quarantine according to Robin in one of his posts.
“Pare parehas kaming may mental stress na pinagdadaanan. Mabuti na lamang at nagkakasundo kaming lahat sa aming therapy,”said Robin.
To help them cope, Robin and Mariel decided to help the needy through their relief operations and urged the public to do the same.
