The Intense Scene

This news caused a stir on social media, as Joey first spoke about an event that Maine Mendoza did not expect, and more importantly, Joey de Leon did not expect either. Although he is known for being a prankster and has a tough skin, Joey could not handle what Arjo Atayde did to his friend and Eat Bulaga co-host Maine Mendoza.

“It just happened out of the blue, and I don’t know how Arjo chose him. It was so striking, and people, especially us, didn’t really expect it,” said Joey. When asked by the public about his reaction, Joey’s only response was a laugh, but behind his eyes, a lack of understanding could be seen.


Maine and Arjo: Confession of a Relationship

After weeks of rumors and speculation, Maine Mendoza and Arjo Atayde’s relationship is no longer a secret. In a television interview, the two openly set boundaries about their relationship, and they no longer hide their special connection. According to them, they are “continually developing,” and Arjo opened up about his feelings for Maine in a powerful scene.

“I was surprised,” Joey said, “because I didn’t know how and when Arjo became serious about Maine, and what happened between them.”


Joey and His Defense of Maine

Joey’s defense of Maine is proof of their deep friendship. Everyone knows that on Eat Bulaga , they are not just co-hosts, but family. Because of this, when Joey heard that an unexpected “moment” happened between the two, he was shocked and immediately spoke up.

In an episode of Eat Bulaga , Joey couldn’t help but joke, but his final words conveyed a deep sense of concern. “Let’s not make it an issue, but if Arjo has something to explain, I hope he won’t hide it,” said Joey, laughing. “Maine, that’s okay, as long as we, the real dabarkads, are right here behind you.”


The reactions of Fans and Dabarkads

Fans were outraged and shocked by Joey’s initial reaction. Netizens didn’t hesitate and immediately expressed their opinions. “Joey, you’re so brave, I have nothing to say!” one netizen commented. “Joey is right, there are things that shouldn’t be hidden, especially since it has to do with Maine!”

Arjo’s fans, on the other hand, were quick to give their reactions. “Why is Joey always the one who intervenes? Don’t Arjo and Maine have the right to decide for themselves?” one Arjo fan replied.

Eat Bulaga fans also came together to provide support to Maine, with many messages of concern and support reaching out on social media.


Arjo’s Adverse Reaction

Due to the tension and chaos among fans, Arjo Atayde issued a statement clarifying what happened.

“Joey is an old friend and I consider him a big part of my life, but there are times when there are things you don’t need to worry about,” Arjo explained. “Maine and I are in a good place, and we are both happy. Hopefully, it won’t become a bigger issue.”

However, Arjo still hasn’t escaped public scrutiny. Many netizens expressed regret over the unexpected turn of events and some even threatened to “boycott” his projects.

According to a source from Eat Bulaga , Joey and Arjo had a private conversation to resolve the misunderstanding.

“Everything is going well,” Joey said after their conversation. “I love Maine and I only want the best for her. I hope their easy relationship continues.”


What to Expect in the Future?

Because of what happened, one big question is swirling among fans: what will be the outcome of their relationship? This scene has given rise to many more showbiz discussions, showing the importance of transparency and respect for each other in the industry.

Arjo and Maine’s every move is being watched by the public, and everyone is waiting to see where their love will lead. Meanwhile, Joey de Leon’s, unrivaled, will continue to provide comfort and lessons to those following.


Finale: A Reminder That Life’s TV Series Isn’t Always Easy


With all that has happened, this story is a reminder that in showbiz, not all scenes are always happy. There are unexpected events that cause the breakup of some relationships, but in the end, what is important is that everyone learns the true meaning of respect and love for work and friends.

For Joey de Leon, despite everything, Maine is family—and he cares about nothing but the best happiness of his dabarkads.
