Yakap ni Maine pampakalma ni Arjo pag tinopak, todo suporta sa MMFF 2024
Arjo Atayde, Maine Mendoza at ang cast members ng ‘Topakk’
PURING-PURI ng fans at netizens si Maine Mendoza sa ginagawa nitong pagsuporta sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2024 entry ng kanyang asawang si Arjo Atayde, ang “Topakk.”
In fairness, hangga’t may chance ay talagang tumutulong ang actress-TV host sa pagpo-promote ng “Topakk” para mas marami ang manood sa mga sinehan simula sa December 25.
Tulad na lang ng pagpayag ng “Eat Bulaga” kung saan isa si Maine sa mga host, na makapag-promote si Arjo ng kanyang pelikula kung saan kasama rin niya sina Julia Montes, Sid Lucero, Enchong Dee at marami pang iba.
Sa isang panayam, inamin ng award-winning actor at kongresista na may mga pagkakataon na inaatake rin siya ng bad days o topak pero sinisiguro niya na wala siyang masasaktan o maaabalang tao.
Baka Bet Mo: Arjo, Julia buwis-buhay sa MMFF 2024 entry na ‘Topakk’: Sugat, hiwa!
Aniya, isa sa mga pampakalma niya kapag tinotopak dahil sa mga bagay-bagay at sitwasyon na hindi na niya kontrolado ay ang “power hug” ni Maine.
“Ingat lang lagi. Kasi when I faced with that situation, it’s either I just walk away for a while or chill muna. I try to avoid them for a while baka kasi may masabi ka o magawa na uncalled for.

“So, it’s better to choose kindness. It pays to be compassionate and understanding,” paliwanag ni Cong. Arjo.
Samantala, ipinaliwanag naman ng direktor ng “Topakk” na si Richard Somes ang ibig sabihin ng titulo ng kanilang MMFF 2024 entry.
“Basically ‘topak’ is already a street slang. So I said if it’s a street slang for someone who is crazy, so let’ try to be more creative with the title since it’s slang,” aniya sa panayam ng radio program na “Gising Pilipinas”.
“That’s why it’s double K, to give some element of surprise also. Intrigued why it’s double K, because you have two personality, matino (sane) and then suddenly he was triggered. So that’s the history of double K,” esplika ng direktor.
Bukod sa matitinding aksyon, isa pa sa ipinaglalaban ng istorya ng “Topakk” ay ang isyu ng mental health.
“The character of Arjo has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because he’s a soldier who came from a very devastating experience.
“He carried over his mental illness as he wanted to pursue and survive, of course, his day-to-day. His PTSD was triggered when someone was killed in front of him and then all hell breaks loose na kaagad. That’s when the action comes in,” sabi pa ng direktor.
Na-inspire si Direk Richard na gawin ang script ng “Topakk” noong kasagsagan ng pandemya dahil sa laban ng Pilipinas kontra ilegal na droga, “Then the idea came, what makes someone be triggered, snapped?
“So my question, there’s something that triggered them. It just so happens that we don’t recognize because Philippines is communal.
“Like, if you have a problem ‘it’s just okay’ but we are not looking at the deeper issue on what’s really happening inside someone’s head who’s suffering from mental illness,” sey pa ni Direk.
Pagmamalaki pa niya sa lahat ng cast members ng pelikula, lalo na sina Arjo, Julia, Sid at Enchong, “Watch out for them kasi they transform from different character most especially si Arjo and also Julia Montes will give you the surprise of your life. I think this is the next step for Julia Montes as an actress.”
Showing na ang “Topakk” sa mga sinehan simula bukas, December 25. Dalawang version ng movie ang mapapanood n’yo based sa rating na ibinigay ng Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) — isang R-18 na mas bayolente at madugo, at R-16 na medyo nabawasan ang matitindi at buwis-buhay na mga eksena.
