Arjo Atayde spoke about his and his fiancée Maine Mendoza’s plan to have kids, with the actor-politician revealing that he hopes to have at least three children with the actress-TV host.
Arjo said this during an episode of the morning talk show “Magandang Buhay,” after his mom Sylvia Sanchez chose him when she was asked who she thinks would give him the most number of grandchildren.
“Whatever it is that we could have in the future, in the near future. It’s part of our plan and kung anong ibigay ng Diyos (whatever God will give), but definitely three at least in God’s name, or let’s see,” he said.

During the show, Sylvia also expressed her excitement as she looked forward to welcoming grandchildren to their family.
“Kailangan ko talagang tanggapin na mahihiwalay tayo sa mga anak natin,” she stated. “Basta ngayon kahit malungkot ako e masaya ako kasi alam kong may darating akong mga apo, ‘yun ‘yon.”
(I really need to accept that we will be separated from our children. But now, even if I’m a bit sad, I’m still happy because I know that I will be having grandchildren.)
“Sinasabihan ko talaga si Arjo, ‘Anak, gusto ko ng apo.’ And honestly, kahit si Maine ka-text ko ‘Tita, blah, blah’ ‘Oh, Maine, talaga.’ Sumasaya ako, waiting ako,” Sylvia added. (I tell Arjo, “Son, I really want to have a grandchild.” And honestly, I also exchange messages with Maine. It makes me happy and I’m waiting.)
