What can he say about his new role? “Wow, ibang level! I play the best friend of Ogie. Idol ko siya bilang isang magaling na komedyante. I’m excited to work with him because he is my idol as a songwriter/producer because I am also a songwriter/producer.” Arnold is a multi-talented artist.

Arnold is very excited in his new soap. “Kahit marami na akong drama na nagawa ay sobrang nagdarasal pa rin ako na magkaroon ngcomedy shows kasi gusto ko ito.” He also says, “The only way to establish oneself is to strive hard to constantly develop one’s craft. Love your work and it will love you back.”
 Arnold only has good words about Ogie. “I learn a lot from Ogie. Natural siyang umarte. Napakabait niyang tao at may sense of humor. I’m grateful that I was given the chance to work with him. I look forward to our shooting days kasi ang saya-saya sa set.”
