"Seriously, it's a different ano naman. Not that she' s not happy. My sister is a very happy person. This is extra happiness.

Ayon kay Arjo, maayos na humarap si Zanjoe sa pamilya Atayde. Hindi raw kailangang kausapin pa siya nang pormal tungkol sa intensyon ni Zanjoe sa kapatid niyang si Ria.
"Usap? Hindi po, but I guess that's already given. I mean, it's a man's word naman siguro.
"Nagpakilala siya sa family. We would take it sincerely. He's a very sincere person.
"He's being kind, he's very mapakita po, and I'm thankful also."
Suportado ni Arjo ang pagkakaroon ng relasyon ni Ria.
Pero paglilinaw din ng kongresista, "Me, I'm boto for him. At the same time, I don't really meddle with my sisters, any of them, alam nila yun.
"I don't meddle. Just don't hurt my sisters. That's one thing I would say, I don't meddle, it's their life."
