He then reflected on his lengthy career in the entertainment industry and how his experience in government allowed him to discover another meaningful purpose in life.
"Kasi ang tagal kong nagtrabaho sa entertainment and I was so blessed with the generosity of the industry. Kaya lang nu'ng napunta ako sa public service parang... alam mo 'yung dalawang bagay na pinakaimportante sa buhay mo--the day that you were born and the day that you will find out why."
Arnell explained that his involvement in television had already given him opportunities to connect with audiences and become involved in their personal concerns. However, his transition to public service introduced him to a different kind of fulfillment.
"Noon kasing nasa television ako, pakielamera ako sa buhay ng mga audience. Parang gustong-gusto ko pinoproblema at nakikialam sa buhay tapos kagagalitan ko."
He also highlighted his experience working with overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), which he described as an important turning point in his personal and professional journey.
For Arnell, the opportunity to listen to OFWs and respond to their concerns made his time in government particularly memorable.
Meanwhile, DJ Jhai Ho also asked him how he felt whenever his previous involvement in politics was brought up during conversations.
Arnell admitted that he had reached a point where he no longer associated his daily responsibilities with politics because he had become so accustomed to working.
"Actually 'yon ang nakalimutan ko na politika pala 'yon. I just turned into a worker."
He further emphasized that his approach to his responsibilities remained consistent throughout his time in public service, adding that the people who worked alongside him were familiar with his work ethic.
His latest remarks offered a glimpse into how much his government experience meant to him, particularly the opportunity to serve and assist Filipinos.
Arnell Ignacio (born Arnaldo Arevalo Ignacio) is a Filipino television host, comedian, actor, and singer-songwriter known for hosting popular programs such as K! The 1 Million Peso Videoke Challenge, Wowowee, and GoBingo. Aside from his entertainment career, he has also served in government, including as administrator of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) from 2022 to 2025.
During the segment of Kalurks! Arnell and the hosts of the show became emotional about the current state of the Queen of All Media, Kris Aquino.
In another report, Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla posted pictures featuring Robin Padilla and Baste Duterte, drawing attention to the interaction between the two men. She said she personally noticed their “chemistry,” prompting some netizens to wonder whether the pair could form a political tandem in the 2028 elections. Robin previously served as one of the senator-judges during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
Meanwhile, Angelu de Leon, who rose to fame through the '90s teen series T.G.I.S., has taken on a career in public service as a councilor for Pasig City's second district under Mayor Vico Sotto. In an exclusive interview with PUSH ABS-CBN, she talked about how her role in government brought out a more serious and detail-oriented side of her personality. While she recognized that her celebrity status contributed to her election victory, Angelu emphasized that public figures who enter politics must demonstrate their capabilities through actual service. The 47-year-old councilor also expressed pride in crafting ordinances intended to help communities and benefit future generations, stressing that serving the public should take priority over political ambitions.
