Man of the hour with his son Congressman Arjo Atayde regarding kickbacks and SOP of flood control.
Arturo “Art” Atayde is best known today as a Spanish-Filipino businessman, the husband of veteran actress Sylvia Sanchez, and the father of actors Arjo and Ria Atayde. Public records and family profiles often highlight him simply in this light—a supportive family man who married Sylvia in 2004 and has remained largely out of the entertainment spotlight. To most, he is recognized only as part of the well-known Atayde family in showbiz.
However, old reports and online discussions paint a different and more controversial picture of his past. In various forums and archived sources, Arturo N. Atayde is linked to the so-called “Atayde Kidnap-for-Ransom Group,” with claims that he was arrested in Makati back in 1992 as part of an anti-crime crackdown. While some of these accounts come from user-generated discussions that remain speculative, the contrast between his alleged past and his present image as a businessman and family man has sparked curiosity and debate online.
Looks like it’s wrong that you supported Mayor Joy, you’re also with the Vargas brothers who were involved in the DPWH scandal during Duterte’s time, asking for bribes.
