Meryll-Bernard's marriage on the rocks

Someone confirmed that the young actress has gone back to her Mama...

Becbec's house in Fairview, Quezon City (Metro Manila) but she talked to the older actor's family and explained to them clearly why she was leaving.

It's said it's because Bernard has gone back to an old habit that he promised to get rid off when Meryll married him in a civil wedding ceremony at the office of San Juan Mayor JV Ejercito last September.

Meryll has probably realised by now that her family was right when they decided not to attend the wedding as they don't think it's a wise decision to marry Bernard.

"She's been properly warned, but she refused to heed the counsel of her mom and aunt (diamond star Maricel Soriano)," adds our source.

But according to Bernard's friends, it's Meryll who left the house unceremoniously because she has bipolar disorder, a manic-depressive illness that causes sudden changes in moods and temper.

We just don't know how true this is. But on TV then, they declared they will take care of each other for the rest of their lives. So what happened to the vows of undying love they made on national television at that? Were they good for only five months?

Meanwhile, beauteous young actress Roxanne Guinoo flatly denied that she's the third party in the Merryl Soriano and Bernard Palanca breakup. Although she admitted that Bernard did send her text messages, she tried to stay away from him.

He probably thought she was vulnerable as she had broken off with young actor Joross Gamboa. She, however, knows his marital status and does not want to be accused as a husband stealer. While she tried to be polite to Bernard, even addressing him as kuya (elder brother) to establish an objective tone she never encouraged him.
