Arjo Atayde is back in a more intense and action packed season 2 of BAGMAN
Wednesday, November 27, 2019
There's no denying that BAGMAN will have a second season because of it's amazing story telling of how the current situation in the country can easily be related to the series. The story is both complex and gleefully entertaining, especially since the illicit activities hit so close to home.
Arjo Atayde, during the Blogger's Conference shared how much he enjoyed shooting Bagman 2. Even though it's tiring for him, the adrenaline rush that the role gave him is incomparable and his most memorable experience.
In Bagman season 1, Atayde stars as Benjo, a neighborhood barber with a baby on the way. When a sidewalk-clearing project threatens to take away both his business and his home, he pleads for reconsideration with the authorities, to no avail. That’s when he meets Big Boy (Jett Pangan), a henchman working for their province’s corrupt governor (Raymond Bagatsing), who is more than happy to help Benjo with his predicament, so long as he’s good for a favor.The favor, it turns out, is being the getaway driver for a riding-in-tandem assassination. Big Boy makes good with his promise and also gives Benjo a few thousand pesos as tip, along with the offer of more money for more jobs. As Bagman’s first season plays out, we see Benjo’s ambition start to get the better of him. He soon becomes firmly entrenched in the governor’s inner circle, acting as both assistant and enforcer, as vote-buyer and intimidator.
In the second season, Arjo's role gets more serious as he became the governor but how will the story evolve with the turning events of the series? You need to watch out of the upcoming series.
After watching a few episodes of Bagman Season 2, be prepared for more action packed and intense scenes with the addition of equally talented actor Carlo Aquino.
How does Arjo Atayde feel when he is being compared to John Lloyd Cruz or being called as the next John Lloyd Cruz? Arjo shared that he is a big fan of John Lloyd Cruz and he would love to work with him someday given the chance.
