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.

Arjo Atayde, one of the versatile actors here in the Philippines, continue to prove himself as he venture to different genres. From action to drama to romance to comedy. From every character that he plays he make sure that he portray the part very well and even to the point of convincing the viewers that he is the character.

2019 is the very busy year for Arjo. The 1st quarter of the year shows it very well as he is seen in a teleserye and movie. One of which is his portrayal of "Elai" in "The Generals Daughter" starred by Angel Locsin. He is one of the leading men of Angel. Arjo's role is very challenging as "Elai"  because his personality is different, he played the character of a young man who's specially challenge. He is taken cared by his mother played by Ms. Maricel Soriano. Most of the reactions of netizens towards the performance of Arjo are positive. He truly delivers the character and the viewers were very much convinced.



It seems that there's no stopping him in trying different genre of showbiz. Another dream come true for Arjo is to have a comedy film. Reallity Entertainment's newest offering is a comedy film entitled "TOL" starring Arjo Atayde, Ketchurp Eusebio and Joross Gamboa. I'm really so excited to see this film and see how he par into comedy. This is a very big leap for him, from drama to comedy. The "TOL" movie is now showing in cinemas nationwide.


Wait there's more as he transition from drama to comedy, now he also have this another movie which is in a romance genre. The movie is entitled "STRANDED" with Jessy Mendiola under Regal Films.

The year 2019 for Arjo is just starting and he is already making waves.

The Atayde siblings, Arjo Atayde and Ria Atayde, will be in the upcoming MMK (Maalala Mo Kaya) episode this Saturday, December 8. We all know that both are son and daughter of the veteran actress Ms. Sylvia Sanchez. As we all know Arjo and Ria have been to different teleseryes already and they have proven their acting abilities, particularly in drama. This time it is their first time to work together on TV.
The upcoming MMK episode where the Atayde siblings are featured was shot at Sibuyan Island in Romblon. Both of them will play the character of Armin and Rosedel, both an environmental activists fighting to save the local mountain from being desecrated. Now, it is something to look forward for the Atayde siblings working together in one episode of MMK, Arjo and Ria Atayde.
"Sa kaunahang pagkakataon, nagkatrabaho kami ng kapatid ko. Dreams do come true". Ria said. Ria is so grateful to work with his brother. While Arjo said " Magaling siya (Ria) at very professional walang awkward feeling with her". Perhaps the good thing about them is that they are both working their characters as what they are, siblings. Then again they are both professional.
Don't miss to watch MMK (Maalala Mo Kaya) on December 8 at 8:30pm featuring the Atayde Siblings, Arjo Atayde and Ria Atayde. Will definitely watch this episode.

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.

Arjo Atayde or Juan Carlos Ocampo Atayde is one of the actors that are making a significant mark in the entertainment industry today. Not only that he is the son of Ms. Sylvia Sanchez but because he has proven that he’s good in his craft, which is none other acting.
I’m a follower of Arjo’s acting career. I have seen him done roles that are truly engaging, he conveys to the viewers what his character is. He truly delivers the character and viewers were very much convinced. Now, on his on going teleserye “Hanggang Saan” where he played the role of Paco, he shows a different side of his acting, the drama side. I’m not sure how hard it is, for him to act dramatically when he’s mom, Sylvia Sanchez, is around and more when he’s acting with her. But I think he still manages to go through with it . Hanggang Saan is a heavy drama teleserye that airs from Monday to Friday at 4pm in ABS CBN.



Just recently, I watched the latest episode of the teleserye where there is a specific scene with plenty of Police Officers and they are to arrest Sonya (the character played by Sylvia Sanchez) because of murder. That was a very sad scene and I was moved to point I’m in tears already. Both Paco (Arjo) and Sonya (Sylvia) shows their prowess in acting. I can really feel the grief of the mother and the son.

On the other side of the drama scene I managed to notice the Police Officers and remembered that Arjo previously played a role in Ang Probinsyano as one of the crooked Police Officer. I really like how Arjo played the character of Joaquin, smart looking and snappy, the only thing is that he is the bad guy in the teleserye “Ang Probinsyano”. I believed most of the viewers remember Arjo as the crooked Police Officer Joaquin. Who wouldn’t watch a teleserye like that I’m sure everyone is hooked up to now.
Like I mentioned earlier, Arjo Atayde is really good in his craft and he make sure that he plays the part very well to the point that he convinces the viewers that he is the character. Though I still see Arjo acting as the goody goody in the teleserye Hanggang Saan, still, I missed his action drama acting. Hopefully, his next teleserye or movie is action. He will definitely perform well and for sure Filipinos will be hook with it and it will definitely leave a mark.

Good luck and more power to you Arjo Atayde.
