MAINE Mendoza could not have sounded more excited after her boyfriend, Arjo Atayde, won best actor at the 3rd Asian Academy Creative Awards this Friday.
Atayde became the first Filipino to win the award – taking it home for his role in ABS-CBN’s “Bagman” – and Mendoza was quick to gush on Twitter about how much he “deserved” it.
Atayde beat out nine other finalists, including representatives from China, Singapore and India.
In “Bagman,” Atayde played the role of an ordinary barber who got himself entangled in the dangerous world of politics. (ABS-CBN)
