Richard Gutierrez, Daniel Padilla at Arjo Atayde
KASAMA dapat ang internationally-acclaimed actor at public servant na si Arjo Atayde sa upcoming action series ng ABS-CBN na “Incognito.”
Isa siya sa mga napiling bibida sana sa naturang proyekto kasama sina Daniel Padilla, Ian Veneracion at Richard Gutierrez ngunit hindi nga ito natuloy.
Ipinaliwanag ng kongresista sa 1st District ng Quezon City kung bakit hindi niya kailangang tanggihan ang nasabing teleserye na magpapasabog bago matapos ang 2024.

“I feel really bad for not being part of that soap. I have priorities for now. I have to be 100 percent committed, if not 100 percent, it’s unfair to my co-actors.
“And I work at 100 percent with these guys. Given the opportunity, I want to give it my all. For now, I have to focus on this (pagiging congressman),” esplika ni Arjo sa naganap na pa-thanksgiving niya para sa entertainment media.
Ibinalita naman ng award-winning actor na gagawa uli siya ng teleserye sa 2025, “Siguro po next year. I’ve been gone for about five years. Marami na pong nangyari.
“Definitely, I’m looking forward to coming back and to be back on my playground,” sabi pa ng asawa ni Maine Mendoza.
Sa tanong kung sinu-sino pa ba ang nais niyang makatrabaho sa showbiz, “Lahat po to be honest. I wanna work with everyone naman talaga. It really gives me the opportunity to learn more.
“Nagugulat din po ako sa ibang mga artista the way they did it kapag sinabing action ng direktor,” dugtong ni Arjo na itinanghal na Best Male Lead in a TV Program/Series for “Cattleya Killer” sa naganap na ContentAsia Awards 2024.
Sabi ni Arjo, pumunta siya sa awards night ng CAA without expecting anything, “I guess none of us were expecting anything. To be nominated is such a privilege. The recognition itself will be a bonus.
“Like they always say, that’s not being humble. We’re trying to push Filipino content, trying to push Filipino connection in a better way, to excel to where we were,” sabi ni Arjo.
Samantala, natanong din ang aktor kung paano pa sila nagba-bonding ni Maine lalo pa’t pareho silang busy sa kani-kanilang career.
“Of course, during my free time, and during my free days, kapag may bakasyon. Kaya nga po we travel because that’s the only time we get to spend time together.
“Kasi kapag nandito siya sa Manila, mayroon siyang responsibilities. She also has commitments to attend to.
“Because those are the only times talaga na we get to spend time together, to be honest. She also has commitments to attend to and also me as well. I juggle up all these things.
“But rest assured, it’s just time management, proper time management. And we’re both very happy. Yeah, it’s just really time management po. And she’s always on my priority at the end of the day as well,” sabi pa ni Arjo.
And about having a baby naman, “Secret na lang po. Of course, we talk about it, but that’s between us, muna. For now, we’re really enjoying each other’s time.
“Kasi hindi naman po ito mauulit na kaming dalawa na lang together for a long time. So, we’re just enjoying and ‘yun secret na lang po kung kailan. That’s between us na lang but definitely, we talk about it po,” sabi pa ni Cong. Arjo.
