After winning the congressional race for the first district of Quezon City, Kapamilya actor Arjo Atayde admitted he will not leave showbiz yet.
On May 19, Atayde shared that working in the entertainment industry is his main source of income.
“Actually, kakatapos ko lang rin po mag-shoot for Cattleya Killer right before the campaign, but I won’t be stopping showbiz.
“Iyan ang aking hanapbuhay. So, I can’t stop that. Of course, I have to prioritize, especially this one (public service). But of course hindi na mawawala sa akin ang pag-aartista. Kasi, that’s one thing [that] I love to do the most and, at the same time, make a living. Andon ang hanapbuhay ko,” he said.
Atayde explained that the weight loss he has experienced is part of his project with the Kapamilya Network.
“To be honest, sa campaign sa sobrang daming schedule, parang intermittent fasting. [Unconsciously] nagkakaroon kami ng late lunch, late dinner. Kailangan rin ako magpa-payat for Cattleya so sakto sinadya ko na rin talaga siya for the role para mag-iba ang itsura ko. Kasi for me, it’s required for the role also.”
Atayde admitted he is thankful for those who have helped and supported him during the election season.
“Overwhelming po. My family, Maine, and all of my friends are all my backbone. I am just very happy that they’re always there and very supportive, so what could I ask for more,” he shared.
