María Carmina Muñiz Villarroel-Legaspi (Tagalog: [kaɾˈminɐ biljɐɾɔˈɛl lɛˈgaspi]; born August 17, 1975) is a Filipino actress, television presenter, and product endorser. She is best known for portraying the role of Lyneth Santos in the medical drama, Abot-Kamay na Pangarap, as well as portraying Cynthia in Esperanza, Lucille in Doble Kara, George in Oki Doki Doc, Barbara in Widows' Web and as one of the hosts of SiS and Sarap, 'Di Ba?.

Personal life

Villarroel was previously married to Rustom Padilla in 1994;[1] the two had no children, and Villarroel filed for annulment several years after, which was granted in 2002.[2]

Villarroel married her partner Zoren Legaspi on November 15, 2012;[3] the couple had twins on January 6, 2001, in the United States.[4] Legaspi planned a surprise proposal and civil wedding with the help of their families and the network.[5] The ceremony was later aired the following Saturday as the television special Zoren-Carmina: Always Forever, A Wedding Like No Other. The idea of a surprise proposal followed by a flashmob-style instant wedding was inspired by a remarkably similar episode of the U.S. television programme Mobbed, hosted by Howie Mandel.
