Maine Mendoza says she’s tolerating bf Arjo Atayde for leaving Baguio after tested positive for COVID-19

Kapuso host Maine Mendoza said she is not tolerating her boyfriend, actor Arjo Atayde who left Baguio City despite being tested positive for COVID-19.

“Hello! I am not ‘tolerating’ him, but there’s just so much you do not know about the story. And I hope he gets the chance to tell his side and the context of what had happened these past few days. I also hope you do not base your judgments solely on what you see online,” tweeted Maine on August 18.

Maine Mendoza answered a netizen who commented that she tolerated Arjo Atayde, whose team allegedly violated health protocols while filming a movie in Baguio City.

“Arjo Atayde tested positive for COVID-19 as shooting for his new film culminated in Baguio last August 16. Arjo was suffering from high fever, headaches, and difficulty in breathing.

It was the mutual decision of Feelmaking Productions Inc., Arjo’s parents, and doctors to rush the actor, who has a pre-existing medical condition, straight to a hospital in Manila on August 17.
