Inamin ni Arjo Atayde na bata pa lang siya ay pangarap na niyang maging senador. Just like showbiz, bata pa lang sila ay exposed na rin sila sa politics dahil may mga relative sila na nasa public service.

“Of course, during that time, I was very young, the most exposure I had to politics was my dad’s brother who was also in public service. We also have certain relatives as well po,” sey ni Arjo sa panayam sa kanya ni Korina Sanchez sa Korina Interviews on Net25.

Kapag Sunday na family day ay napag-uusapan nila ng pamilya ang pulitika.

“Sunday talks about government, of course, their opinions as a family. That was our Sundays. That’s how I grew up, knowing about politics as well,” aniya.

“I wanted to be a senator when I was younger for reason that I would ask questions as basic as ‘what position do I need to be able to be of help to a lot of people?’

“Because we were exposed to foundations, to family just helping random foundations. So, that’s the type of family we grew up in,” dagdag pa ng Quezon City 1st district representative.

Pero that time ay naging mas matimbang kay Arjo ang pag-aarista dahil nga mas exposed siya sa showbiz than politics since ang nanay niyang si Sylvia Sanchez ay isang aktres at sumasama pa sila ng kapatid na si Ria Atayde sa mga taping ng ina noong bata pa sila.

Pero at least ngayon ay isa na ring public servant si Arjo and somehow ay natupad na rin ang kanyang pangarap na maging politiko.

Hindi kami magtataka kung someday ay maging senador siya.

Natanong ni Korina kung may time pa ba si Arjo sa fiancee na si Maine Mendoza at ayon sa aktor meron pa rin at time management lang daw ‘yan.

“As much as I’m free po, we get to spend time together. Even during dinner or late dinner. So we really try to catch up as much as possible,” sey ni Arjo.
