Maria Erlinda Termulo, popularly known as Mariel Rodriguez, was born August 10, 1984. The actress, VJ and TV host started her career as a commercial model, appearing in numerous ads for Johnsons’ Clean and Clear, Rexona and Closeup. Mariel’s first acting project was on the Singaporean TV show Rouge, which was produced by MTV Asia. After she finished her stint with the show, MTV Philippines decided to launch her as a VJ by MTV Philippines in December 2004.
Mariel signed on with talent manager and TV host Boy Abunda upon her return to the Philippines. She immediately got a hosting gig in the show Extra Challenge together with Paolo Bediones.
