Maine ipinakilala na si Arjo sa mga magulang!

Finally, kinumpirma na rin ni Maine Mendoza ang relasyon nila ni Arjo Atayde kasabay ng pagdiriwang ng kanyang kaarawan kahapon, March. 3

Sa kanyang mahabang blog entry posted last March 2, maraming mga bagay na ini-reveal si Maine for the first time regarding her relationship with Arjo na siyempre, ang pinaka-highlight ay ang pag-amin niya that they’re dating.

“Again, without waiting any longer, here’s the statement and confirmation you have been waiting for: It’s true, I am dating Arjo.”

“We have been going out for quite some time now, sure you know that since we are always on the ‘What’s the latest chika? section, kahit ang tagal na naming lumalabas.

“(As if newsworthy) I know, I have been reading tweets from my supporters and I am well aware that majority of them are not in favor of him - of anyone, actually.

“And I understand the sentiments of some because of the ‘loveteam culture’ here in the Philippines,” ang bahagi ng mahabang post ni Maine.

Bago ito ay nilinaw niya ulit na magkaibigan lang talaga sila ng ka-loveteam na si Alden Richards.

“I believe I have already made myself clear last November 2017 that Alden and I are just friends. Still good friends and workmates up to this day. If you missed that part, please do read the letter again,” ani Maine.

As for the reasons kung bakit si Arjo ang kanyang napili, heto ang pahayag ni Maine:

“You might be waiting for an explanation as to why I chose him. Excuse me for saying this but... why not? You may have listed a long list of reasons why I shouldn’t but we all know it’s made out of hatred, anger and disappointment.

“I choose not to judge his character for whatever he’s done in the past because that does not define him as a person.

“I was raised to never judge a person, to always see the goodness of people no matter how other people see them.

“As for Arjo, I choose to go out with him multiple times so I’d get to know him better. I don’t see anything wrong with that. I welcomed him to my life, just like what I’d do to other people. I hope I am making myself clear with that.

“I wouldn’t deny that our friendship is growing deeper with time. He always goes out of his way to make me extra happy and actually puts in effort in everything he does. I appreciate everything he does for me and I am happy that I get to experience such wonderful things.

“My family and friends know about this. In fact, he has met my family and friends on multiple occasions.

“He went to our house in Bulacan to personally talk to my parents and tell them that he has nothing but good intentions for their daughter.

“My parents also gave him a warning that they’d kill him if he does something bad to me. Haha! I remember him looking so timid as he sat on our couch in front of Teodoro and Mary Ann.”

“That was the first time I introduced someone to my parents so I was hella nervous, too!

“Surprisingly, everything turned out fine and he made it out alive!

“He has met my siblings, friends and team as well. I am just glad I have people in my life who could guide me and support me with the decisions I make.

“I appreciate their efforts to love me and believe that I am making the right decision of making my heart happy this time.”

Nakiusap din si Maine sa kanyang fans na itigil na ang pangba-bash kay Arjo at sa pamilya nito.

Nilinaw din ng phenomenal star that she was never in a relationship or engaged or married at lalong hindi raw siya buntis.

Sa bandang huli ay humingi ng paumahin si Maine sa kanyang mga fans.

“I am sorry if I am hurting you with my truth. I am sorry if the truth is too much to bear.”

Tinapos ng dalaga ang kanyang blog sa pamamagitan ng pagpo-post ng recipe ng Turon at bilang pagwawakas na mensahe para sa kanyang fans, aniya, “your kindness, acceptance and understanding would be the greatest gift you can give me this year. Kung labag sa loob, sige, kahit turon na­lang. Hehe, salamat pa rin.”
