Robin, who was unable to follow Mariel to the US because of visa issues, reposted the photo with the message: "Ang liham na ito ang pinaka matinding regalo mo na ibinigay sa akin kaya i-repost ko [Mariel Padilla]."
(This letter by far is the greatest gift you've given me, so I'll repost it.)
Mariel gave birth to Maria Isabella on November 14. Robin, convicted of illegal possession of firearms in 1994, was granted executive clemency by President Rodrigo Duterte a day after Maria Isabella was born. – Rappler.com
