Arjo Atayde still considers his half-sister as part of the family

November 20 – Arjo Atayde recently spoke for the first time about the existence of his half-sister, Pia Marie, saying he still considers her part of the family.

As reported on ABS-CBN, the actor who spoke about Pia after her mother, actress Sylvia Sanchez’s previous confession on “Magandang Buhay” about giving birth to a daughter when she was seventeen, said the only reason Pia is not in their family photos is because she chose to have her own life.

“She chose to live with her father rather than with us,” he said.

Nevertheless, the actor said, Pia is still part of the family and remains close to his heart.

He continued: “She’s my sister. No matter what the problem is at the end of the day, you’re family. Whether there’s a problem or not, you have each other’s backs, you know.”

“But life is life. There are some things you have to forget. There are some things you won’t forget, but you have to let go,” he added.

In related news, Atayde will be working with her actress mother in the upcoming series, “Hanggang Saan.”
