I'm not an actor and not even a very known movie critic but I'm just a blogger who loves movies and series very much. I'm not very keen on remembering the names of the stars and directors, but when heard of the movie title or a plot of the story that gives me the idea of what it is or what it was. I like seeing artists create effective different characters or different personas. Knowing how they were able to do that is something that ordinary people or fans would love to know. Me, I'm really eager to know their process on how they do it.

One of the best parts of being an entertainment blogger is that you get to come to press conferences and interviews that are somehow exclusive. Glad that I, together with some other bloggers, were scheduled to have an interview with one of the interesting actors from the Kapamilya Network, Arjo Atayde. So, it's a great opportunity to ask the question that has been lingering in my head.

How does an actor like Arjo Atayde be able to create an effective role without seeing any traces of nuances and other personalities in his previous characters, knowing that he moves from one teleserye to another? This is my piece that I was able to ask from Arjo and he gladly gave his reply.

So here are some of the points that he does to make sure that the nuances and personalities of the previous roles he played are not be seen in his current character and how he does his acting so good.

1. He doesn't watch himself on the monitor or doesn't watch the preview during the shooting.
2. He tries to remember the established nuances of the character that he plays and he does that after watching the pilot episodes.
3. He firmly holds on to the character together with the nuances and personalities throughout the season of the teleserye.
4. He doesn't read the script and watch himself through the monitor during the shoot. He watches everything after and tries to learn his mistakes.
5. He studies and tries to have a deeper understanding not only himself, his character, but everyone around him.

In the new season of Bagman, Arjo Atayde continuously plays the character of Benjo Malaya. Still, a bagman but this time it comes with a different level of being a bagman, it now comes with power, being the governor of the province. From 'barbero' to 'politiko'. This is one good example of Arjo's transition of characters. Though the character that he plays is the same, it somehow changes in appearance and personality. From a barber with less knowledge about politics to a governor that stirs everyone possible loopholes in the government system just to make a project be done.

Arjo, having no knowledge about how politicians or politics go around made an interesting portrayal of a governor that rose from the lower class of the government to a more honorable and respectable politician.

If he has convinced you with his character Benjo Malaya then you'll probably be more hooked on his new personality.

Like I mentioned earlier I'm not a good reviewer or critic but I find Bagman comparable with the series in that are flourishing online. It's dark, interesting, eye-opener, and something to be proud of, not only with Arjo but with the whole casts of Bagman. It wouldn't be a good series if it wasn't for the actors who played their characters very well. Like what Arjo said in the interview, he doesn't only study his character but also the characters of his co-actors in order to understand deeply their roles.


If I made you interested in this simple review about Arjo and the series Bagman, better have iWant on your phone and watch it. It is now streaming on iWant.

The new season of iWant's Bagman will officially be released for streaming today at 12 noon. If you ask me Arjo Atayde is one good and versatile actor, he really knows his craft and you can find the passion in every character that he plays. This is what I always observe whenever he has new movie or TV series, he really knows how to make the character he plays stand out and you can't find any trace of previous roles that he portrays on the current. Always new, not as him but the figure of the person he is playing.

That is why a lot of different roles are being offered to him because of his passion and his dedication to the craft.


Catch Arjo Atayde plays his character as Benjo in the new season of BAGMAN. This time he plays the same character but a lot more. A more interesting level of the character a much more intriguing story about politics, society, family and more.

AlDub is out, ArDub is in. The question of compatibility goes on. Is there really a chemistry between these two actors, Arjo Atayde and Maine Mendoza, who crossed the borders of their rival home TV Networks?

From two different TV station, the Kapuso and the Kapamilya, these two actors was able to find a string that pulled them both together. The string called love.

Love conquers all and the struggle of finding true love is real. From friends to exclusively dating. These two are the content of most social media platforms. Of course, them, dating is something different for an avid AlDub fan. Some are still in denial that Maine is dating other than Alden. There are some also who happens to hope for a love team comeback. And there are other fans who saught happiness for Maine Mendoza. Great for Maine!

As for the side of Maine, well she's really putting up and telling through her post to give respect to them and to the family.

As for Arjo Atayde, well it's a family affair. Family members are in full support of Arjo pursuing Maine. Also in full support in replying to all bashers, most especially Ms Sylvia Sanchez who is most likely willing to see face to face all Arjo bashers.

Well, you can really tell that Arjo is with pure intention. Mostly in his social media posts are all directing to someone that maintly atttcy likshows that he's attention points to the direction of Maine expressing how he feels. It's oerhaps Arjo's Maine reason for being happy.

So, is AlDub gone or a new name just come up, ArDub or ArMaine.
