After being sworn in as a congressman of the 1st district of Quezon City last year, actor Arjo Atayde shared that he does not have a problem balancing his duties as a civil servant and a member of the entertainment industry.

During an event for his exclusive Prime Video series Cattleya Killer, Arjo shared how he is able to do it all.

“Oh definitely time management. I was able to get used to it that I’m not forgetting anything and then this project Cattleya Killer has been shot more than a year ago already so definitely it took time before the premiere na,” he told PUSH.

Despite his packed schedule, the 32-year-old actor said he always still makes sure to spend time with his loved ones whenever he has free time.

“Definitely there’s always time, especially for Maine (Mendoza, his fiancée) and my family. During my free time or free days, I spend it with them. We spend time definitely doing things that we want to do,” he said.

Aside from starting his political career least year, Arjo also celebrated another milestone in his life after proposing to his longtime girlfriend Maine Mendoza last July 2022.

Despite keeping details of their wedding from the public, the engaged actor revealed during the Cattleya Killer blue carpet gala screening that their union will be happening this year.

“Definitely the wedding is in the works but that’s all I can say for now. We’re preparing for it. I’m enjoying it. And definitely it’s within the year. It’s also part of what we’re planning right now. Surprise na lang (laughs),” he shared.

Having been vocal about wanting to have a big family of his own someday, Arjo said he and Maine are not going to be in any rush to have their first child after walking down the aisle.

“We’ll definitely enjoy each other’s time first and then we’ll see. Diyos na bahala (laughs). So si Lord na bahala sa amin when it comes to that. We’re looking forward to enjoying each other’s company as a married couple,” he added.

Last month, Arjo’s movie with Julia Montes called Topakk (Trigger) by Richard Someswas selected to be one of the seven feature films which was screened and featured as part of the Cannes Film Festival held in France last month.

Topakk tells the story of a lonely security guard (Arjo) who was previously discharged from the military due to his post-traumatic stress disorder. He finds himself embroiled in a different kind of war when a young woman (Julia) seeks his protection against a corrupt police death squad.
