Mariel and Zanjoe spotted in Hong Kong

A Hongkong-based source told us that Wowowee and Pinoy Big Brother host Mariel and rumored boyfriend hunk actor Zanjoe Marudo were seen at the lobby of the Marco Polo Hotel. Mariel was wearing big bubble-gum shades and Zanjoe camouflaged in a fisherman's hat. Thinking that they won't be recognized, the two strolled around the city and little did they know, Filipino chismosos saw them and quickly tipped us.

According to our source, Mariel and Zanjoe stayed in just one room. Is it true? We'll go and ask Mariel next week if this Hongkong getaway is true or not.

Mariel has been very vocal about her feelings for hunk-actor Zanjoe for the past few weeks. Sources confirmed to us that Mariel and Zanjoe were officially an item and they've been going out a lot more often.

Mariel admitted in an interview, although indirectly, that she's more comfortable and happier right now with Zanjoe around. She no longer calls him "mystery man" because apparently, she's tired of saying the old, boring line: "We're just friends."

"I'm so tired of saying that line coz clearly, we're not just friends!"Mariel confessed.

She may be vocal and frank about her feelings, but her manager TV host Boy Abunda warned her and appealed that Zanjoe should be the one to confirm the status of their relationship.

Last week, during the ABS-CBN Trade Fair in Embassy at The Fort, we caught up with Zanjoe and ambushed him with questions regarding Mariel. But all we got was just a run-around, literally! We asked how everything with Mariel is right now, and the only response we got from himwas "Masaya!"
