KUMPIRMADO na si Arjo Atayde ang special guest sa birthday episode ni Maine Mendoza sa sitcom nila ni Bossing Vic Sotto na Daddy’s Gurl na ipalalabas sa March 6 sa GMA-7.
In-announce nga ito sa interview ni Nelson Canlas noong Huwebes (Feb. 25) sa ‘Chika Minute’ segment ng 24 Oras.
Happy nga ang magkasintahan sa kanilang unang pagsasama sa isang TV show, at aminado si Arjo na medyo kinabahan siya pero sinabi naman ni Maine na kinaya naman ito at naka-deliver ang kanyang Asian Best Actor na boyfriend.
Una silang nagkasama sa pelikulang Jack Em Popoy: The Puliscredibles noong 2018 at doon nga sila unang nagkita at nagkakilala.
“First time po naming magkatrabaho was sa Jack Em Popoy,” sabi ni Arjo sa interview.
“First time rin naming mag-meet doon sa movie sa Jack Em Popoy two years ago,” tugon naman ni Maine na magsi-celebrate ng 25th birthday sa March 3 kaya asahan na naman na meron kakaibang paandar ang kanyang nobyo.
Marami namang natuwang netizens sa kauna-unahang pagsasama ng dalawa sa isang TV show. Ilan sa naging comment nila:
“Bagay silang dalawa :)”
“Interesting! I will watch this.”
“Eto ang legit na Asian best actor.” “Walang malait ang bashers sa galing umarte nito.. kahit sino pa itapat nila.”
“Naku dami kayang lait everyday ng mga delulus dyan.”
“Beautiful couple.”
“Bagay talaga sila. I’m not a fan pero same kasi ng intellectual capability. Both smart and malakas ang dating. Strip personality.”
“Nakakatuwa sila panoorin sa interview na to. Happy and in love.”
“Its obvious that they love each other kaya huwag na selfish ang fans. Hayaan niyo maging masaya ang idol niyo. Magtrabaho kayo ng hindi kaya nakasubaybay sa bawat gagawin niya.”
“They both look happy at inspired. So i think talaga compatible sila.”
“Oh baka may magsabi na naman na edited. Pls lang let your idol be happy, napasaya naman din niya kayo. Toxic kasi talaga ng ibang Pinoy showbiz fans.”
“Hahaha ung mga fans sabi sa fb iboycott dw dpt dw aldub lang hahahaha.. Pero buti pwede si Arjo sa gma? Nice!!”
“APT/TAPE yang show hindi GMA.”
“kilig na kilig si yaya dub hihi.”
“Wala naman may paki kung iboycott ng mge delulus yan. May sarili ng pag iisip si maine sa mga decisions nya. D pwede langing kontrolado ng fans. Kung sasabihin wag na kau maging fan kung ayaw nyo sa mga ginagawa nya hindi ibig sabihin wala syang utang na loob or pinapaalis na kayo. Pwede kang maging fan kng kaya mo syng respetuhin ang personal life nya. Wag ka lang manghimasok. Eh kasi tong mga delulus gusto na sya pag asawahin sa taong d naman d naman sya gusto. Like ano un? So karapatan nya rin na sabihan kayo na tumigil na kau sa kahibangan nyo.”
“People forget that this show is still out there. What a better way than to guest the boyfriend.”
“Pakasal na kase. Put a ring on it.”
“Pag 28 na edad ni maine, yun ang sabi nya.”
“Mas swak naman si maine at arjo as loveteam. Palagay ko kaya sila nagkasundo. Pareho din silang smart sumagot. Alam ni arjo ang limitasyon nya as bf at private lng kung ano man ang gift nya kay maine kasi d nila intensyon magpakilig they just share kung ano ang pwede like nagdinner sila wow.”

TINANGGAL na nga sina Kitkat at Janno Gibbs bilang mga hosts ng Happy Time, ang noontime show ng Net 25.
Sa official statement ni Janno noong February 24, gusto niyang linawin ang mga nangyari sa taping noong February 18 na pinag-ugatan ng isyu na pinag-usapan sa socmed.
Narito ang kabuuan ng official statement ni Janno:
“This statement is being written to put this matter to rest once and for all.
“During live TV shows, and especially during game portions, it is usual for the hosts to challenge each other with playful exchange of words or teasing remarks to create more excitement, laughter and fun for the portion.
“All along, I thought that we were having an innocent, comedic banter and that she was playing along, but apparently, she had taken it personally.
“After she consecutively said several words against me, I was also affected and it made me react the way that I did.
“A series of online posts were made that threatened me and my family. It really hurt me that even my family was dragged into this. In spite of this, I kept quiet and only replied once hoping the issue would die down.
“I have apologized to my co-host and the management of the show. I have also publicly apologized. We have both been asked to leave the show.
“My personal learning is to not react so publicly in situations like this whether on air or online. I have also learned to treat my co-workers with even more sensitivity.
“I remain grateful to Net 25 for the opportunity to work for them. They have treated me well. And I will miss working with my brother, Anjo.”
