According to【Philstar】, the socio-political thriller Bagman top-billed by Arjo Atayde is coming to Netflix on July 9.
For Arjo, the series co-produced by Dreamscape Digital and Rein Entertainment remains relevant and must be (re)watched even two years after it premiered as an iWant original series in 2019.
“Besides the production’s well-thought-out concept, it also depicts the despicable nature of corrupt politics that could be happening in any part of the world,” the 30-year-old actor told The STAR in an e-mail interview.

“I hate to think it’s reality but it’s definitely something we’re all turning a blind eye to — something that needs attention, solution and action.”
According to【Philstar】, in Bagman, as the synopsis puts it, Arjo plays the family man Benjo Malaya whose source of income, a barbershop, is about to be demolished for a road-widening project.
