I have been interviewing Arjo Atayde quite some time already and most of his roles and characters are interesting. He has created different roles that probably have marked to every viewer who has watched his teleseryes. It's interesting that the audiences are affected by the characters that he portrays, which is good because he's effectively delivering what is ought to be delivered by the character.

Arjo's moving from one character to another proves his versatility. From Joaquin to Elai and to Benjo, all with different personalities that he gave justice to the character. He truly loves his craft but far more than the skills and talents that he has, there are still those certain traits that get the audiences to watch him whether his character is a villain or a good one.


During our interview with Arjo Atayde I was able to get some pieces of clues about why people are hooked with this interesting actor. Here are the five (5) interesting traits that I discovered.

1. His eyes speak. Probably it is very rare for an artist not to have eyes that speak whenever you're closely looking at them but for Arjo's case it does not only speak but it gives you that communication that he speaks truly from within him.

2. His dimples. Perhaps it's an admitting factor that actors with dimples capture more attention when they smile. It's like a magnet thing that you'll have a second look.

3. His speaking voice. Like what Ate Julie mentioned in the interview it's his deep but clear speaking voice that made one good impression whether he is a villain or not.

4. His clear passion for the craft of acting. Yes, he is very passionate when it comes to his acting that he really studies and make an effort to connect with his audience through his acting.

5. He's humble. That's one of the traits that I like about him because whether he has a good project or just a plain role he is still very humble and his feet are very much attached to the ground.

And it is just right that BAGMAN is given another season. If you become very much interested in the first season of BAGMAN then you'll probably get hooked as well to its 2nd season. The character of Benjo Malaya was quite different in this new season. As told by Arjo, he is still the same bagman but this time he has power.

Perhaps I can relate to San Juan City Mayor Guia Gomez of her being the mother, not only to her family but to the entire city. Of course the relate part is only being a mother. Motherhood is a profession and it's a full time job that most of the time overtime is not paid but of course it's the love for the family that makes it fullfiling and satisfying.

Thankfully, I was part of the invited bloggers to have a simple chitchat with Mayor Guia Gomez. Yes, I'm very glad to have met her personally, the mother of Senator JV Ejercito. She is the mother who became the mother of the entire city after replacing her son from being Mayor of San Juan City.

Mayor Guia Gomez, before and currently being mayor of the city has been a public servant by heart. Owning perhaps the true title of being the mother of the city.


During the chitchat with her she was able to share bits of her past to us, bloggers. She was once also an actress in her prime days but was cut short because of knowing she wasn't into it very much. She also shared her time being the mother who loves to spend time with her family, children, and grandchildren.

Mayor Guia's time serving the people of San Juan has done a lot of improvements in the city. Some of them are additional housing programs for the less privilege, job generation and skills training, and the sustainable programs that will eventually free the majority of the San Juaneños from poverty.

Mayor Guia's motherly trait perhaps comes from her parents. Being the eldest child of Dr. Dominador Gomez of Silay City and Paz Guanzon of Iloilo City. Of course there's a saying "kung ano ang puno sya ang bunga" and this qualities she have were passed on to her son Senator JV Ejercito who also excelled in his own achievements.

If you are following my blog and social media, you will definitely find some of my posts about Arjo Atayde and all of my observations about his love for acting most especially in his current teleserye “Hanggang Saan”. This time I will tell you about Papa Arjo based on our interview.
It was just an ordinary meeting with the other blogger girls and it was a surprise that Arjo came into our meeting and have a quick and enjoying chit chat with us. Since were facing him in person I can really say that Arjo is so good looking. And take note he has a very beautiful skin just like his Mom, Sylvia Sanchez. What I like the most is his dimples. Every time he talks, he smiles, whatever aura he did, his dimples is always there that makes him so good looking as always.
Arjo shared during our chit chat that it was a huge adjustment for him from his role in Ang Probinsyano to Hanggang Saan. From being a Kontrabida for 6 years to a good guy. There were no easy role for him. He always do some research, he needs to do his best to make the televiewers believe on the character that he portrays.
With regards to his mom, Sylvia Sanchez, they are both professional to each other and there were no pressure at all. “I’m happy giving an opportunity to work with my Mom, I think this is the first time ever in the Philippines na totoong mag nanay sa toong buhay na gumanap sa isang teleserye”. Arjo shared. Yes, they are Mother and Son in real life and in the teleserye, they both portray their characters very well. Good Job to both of you!

Arjo Atayde has really created a marked in the Philippine Teleserye. He is one of those antagonist who died but viewers were sadden of that loss.  He really did good in portraying his role as a villain in Ang Probinsyano. There were some fans who were asking and wanting him to return as villain character. Me too I love his villainous character in the said teleserye.
On his current teleserye, the “Hanggang Saan”, his role were the opposite of the previous one. They made him more of a goody hunk character because on the last episode that I have watched he was always smiling and his dimples is always coming out and making everyone to feel smiling and at light showing the positive outcome of life. Arjo gave us a few hint that the upcoming episodes will be so intense and there are exclusive scenes to watch out for. Hmm... I will definitely watch it and I'm so excited to know what will happen next.

Though it was a quick interview with Arjo Atayde, it was still one of the enjoyable chit chat that we had with him. So humble and very grateful of the praises. He surprised us just to thank us personally of what we posted on social media. Well I'm just sharing what I think is great and worth watching and with his acting it's definitely a scene to watch.
More power to you Arjo and continue to entertain us, the viewers. For sure whatever role you will portray we will surely get hooked.
