Judy Ann Santos, Ryan Agoncillo and kids on Smart Parenting

http://www.mommytopaz.com/2013/04/judy-ann-santos-ryan-agoncillo-and-kids.html#.UXMbF6ITKSo



And I wrote the cover story!

This was a great interview because Judy Ann remembered me! She was actually happy to see me again. I first interviewed Judy Ann three years ago (see here). Back then, I had a hard time interviewing her. She was pleasant and all but I felt like she was giving me canned answers. But now, with this interview, she was candid and happy and confident. She admitted it later, too. She said she used to be so insecure—yes, even though she's a superstar!—and she would be so guarded about her image. But when she became a mother, she truly found who she is and she doesn't care anymore about what people think of her.

She told me, "Nakuha ko na ngayon yung confidence that I’ve been looking for the past how many years of my life. Ngayon lang ako confident sa kung sino ako, kung ano ako. I’m 35, turning 35 this year. How else can I reinvent myself? Sa papaano pang paraan ko pa maipapakita sa mga tao na I am more than this? But the again I realize that there’s nothing to prove anymore. I don’t have to prove anything. The only thing I have to prove now is I have to prove to my children that I am a good mom and a good wife to my husband. Wala na akong ibang tao pang kailangan isipin."

That's what motherhood did to me, too! It gave me a new power, a new confidence. Judy Ann and I talked about that, too. How motherhood made us "unpleasant" in the sense that we're no-nonsense, no-bullshit now. Don't waste a mother's time!



Judy Ann and Ryan got so gigil with IƱigo. But they're not so hot on having another kid just yet. They're happy with the dynamics of their family now. I guess it must be so annoying to be asked about having more kids all the time but I had to ask.
More children? (Laughs out loud) We’re thinking, we’re thinking about it, maybe one more pero it’s easier said... Well, yung done thing, easy lang naman din yun (laughs). Yung pagpapalaki, yun ang the hard part. Now kasi parang perfect balance na tig-isa kami ng bata lalo na kapag nasa trips kami abroad. Siguro by the time na magkaroon kami ng pangatlo, si Yohan would be talagang overly independent already.    
Well, I was going to bring this up. When we were both pregnant...  (Laughs) Yes!
Sabi mo sa akin na ipagsusunod-sunod mo... Oo, naisip ko rin yan.  
Para isang payatan na lang. Oo nga. 
O, ako ang nag-ganun. Here he is, the second one! Ako ang nagpabuntis agad. Oh, ikaw pala yung nakinig sa sinabi ko! 
You wanted sunod-sunod para isang payatan lang and I thought that’s a great idea. Obviously, hindi ko siya nagawa (laughs)!

More photos from the shoot here.
I interviewed Ryan, too. That guy is so smart. It was really refreshing talking with him because he's also not bullshitting you. He reminded me of Vince actually!

Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo want kids to finish studies first before entering showbiz


Hangga't maaari, ayaw pa sanang isipin ni Ryan Agoncillo ang pagkakataong magdadalaga na at may manliligaw na sa panganay nila ni Judy Ann Santos na si Yohan. Ani Ryan: “It’s been years and I’m still learning the art of helplessness, kasi wala naman akong magagawa, e, sa totoo lang.”

Hindi hahadlangan ng mag-asawang Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo ang dalawa nilang anak na sina Yohan at Lucho sakaling pumasok sila sa showbiz.
Ang mahigpit lang nilang bilin sa dalawa, tapusin muna ang kanilang pag-aaral.
Nakisali ang PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na kapanayamin ng host ngAng Latest Uplate ng TV5 na si Joey Reyes ang mag-asawang Ryan at Judy Ann.
Ang bungad ni Juday, “Alarmang-alarma nga kami.
“Gusto niya [Yohan], e, gusto niya maging artista, sinasabi niya at least sa akin.
“Sinasabi niya kasi kay Ryan, meron pa siyang pagdi-deny na ginagawa, pero 'pag kaming dalawa lang, sinasabi niya sa akin na, ‘You know what, Ma? I wanna be like you.”
“Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘As long as you finish your studies, you can do it.’
Sabat ni Ryan, “Pero Direk, kasi right now, we accept the fact na eventually papasok siya.
“Inevitable naman, ika nga, na she will enter showbiz…
“That’s why kami rin, dini-discover namin kung ano yung mga talent niya, na puwede niyang i-hone ngayon pa lang which we support.”
Pero sa ngayon, gusto ni Ryan na maging normal ang childhood ni Yohan.
Dugtong ng host, “Kasabay noon, we also try to keep her as a normal kid as possible.
“For the past four months, she hasn’t been allowed to… she’s on the stage where she starts learning to deal with responsibilities.
“Yung grades niya, hindi naman nagpi-fail, hindi naman shaky, pero its not high as it used to be.
“So now, instead of grounding her, instead of punishing her, hindi namin pinapahinto yung kanyang mga activities na gusto.
“Ang ginawa namin, limit muna yung exposure niya to the Internet, television, video games.”
“What she is allowed to do now is to practice singing, practice her piano.
“And then, we encourage her to… parang biking around the village, normal things for kids to grow up.”

CELEBRITY KID. Na-i-starstruck ba yung mga kaeskuwela ni Yohan dahil sikat na mga artista ang parents nito?
Kuwento ni Judy Ann, “Uhm… noong unang pasok niya doon sa eskwelahan, merong mga ganoon, e, ‘Ay! Nakikita kita! Ay! Ayan si Yohan sa commercials!’
“Pero after a while, since doon din naman nag-aaral yung anak ni Jodi [Sta. Maria na si Thirdy]…
“Normal din naman talaga sa kanila na may mga anak ng artista na nag-aaral din doon. Hindi lang naman siya.
"Pero hindi lang maiwasan talaga na mababati siya, and she likes it, she likes it.”
Dagdag pa ng Young Superstar, kapag may mga kaibigan silang dumadalaw sa kanilang bahay, sinasanay nilang makihalubilo ang bata sa mga ito para hindi maiilang pagdating ng araw.
“So, sanay sila ng maraming tao, sanay silang nakikipag-communicate sa mga matatanda.
“At nag-e-entertain ng mga tao, alam nila ‘yan… hindi sila ilag.
“Kasi si Yohan, noong baby siya, na-realize ko, shinield ko siya sa tao.
“Natakot ako na baka mamaya, yung anak ko, na baka ma-bully, or hindi maintindihan yung sitwasyon naming dalawa, so shinield ko siya sa tao.
“Tapos, noong  unang inilabas ko siya, ayaw niyang makakita ng tao, ayaw niyang makipag-usap.
“Hindi siya isnabera pero takot siya, so doon ko na-realize na mali yung ginawa ko.”
“So ngayon, talagang hangga’t maari, kung ano yung mga pagkakamali ko before, inaano ko talaga ngayon, na pinaplantsa namin talaga ngayon na hindi naman kasi maiiwasang hindi sila ma-expose sa mga tao.”
Tanong ni Direk Joey, magsi-siyam na taong gulang na si Yohan sa ngayon, darating ang araw na magdadalaga na ito, paano nila inihahanda ang mga sarili sa panahong may manliligaw na dito?
Si Ryan ang sumagot at nagpaliwanag.
“It’s been years and I’m still learning the art of helplessness, kasi wala naman akong magagawa, e, sa totoo lang.”
“Pagka may magsimulang manligaw kay Yohan, ang tatay naman, e, puro ganyan lang.
“Bibigay din naman ‘yan sa kung anong gusto nang anak mo.
“Pero ang maganda ngayon kay Yohan, I think we established a good line of communication.
“Katulad na lang noong nagbisikleta kami the other day, nag-openup siya, ah, na merong may crush sa kanya sa school. Kinuwento raw ng kakalase niya.
"Sabi niya, ‘Secret yun, Daddy.’

INEVITABLE. Pagdating naman kay Lucho, may mga senyales na rin daw na baka magkahilig ito sa show business.
Sabi pa ni Ryan, “You know it’s a question, I asked kay Bossing Vic Sotto, how he dealt with Danica and Oyo.
“Actually, sa kanya nanggaling yung word na ‘inevitable,’ parang they [the kids] will want to [enter showbiz] in time and you have to deal with.”
Dagdag pa niya, “We just have to arm them with proper tools, at least they have genuine talents naman.
“Ang sinasabi lang namin, magtapos kayo ng pag-aaral.
“Kasi, there are only few cases like Judy Ann, masuwerte siya, e, yung pinagdaanan niya,  nandiyan si Kuya Jeff [Jeffrey Santos] na tumulong sa kanya. Nandiyan si Tito Alfie [Lorenzo, manager ni Juday] na nagbantay. Nandiyan si Mommy Carol [ina nina Juday at Jeff].
“But not everyone is as lucky as my wife. I don’t wanna… parang ako, pumasok ako sa showbiz, buo na yung utak ko, buo na yung dibdib ko.
“Gusto ko sana, ganoon sila, buo na sila as people before they join the merry world of show business.”

STAYING POWER. Ano ang sikreto ng mga artistang tumatagal sa showbiz?
Ang sagot ni Juday, “Siguro Direk, yung nag-invest ako ng magandang relationship sa mga naging katrabaho ko.
“At sinigurado ko na in-enjoy ko yung company nila, na may natutunan din ako sa kanila.
“At yung wala akong inagrabyado kahit kailan noong nagsimula pa ako. Wala talaga akong inagrabyado, kasi naniniwala ako na magkita-kita ulit kayo, di ba?
“Kahit papa'no, baligtarin mo man ang mundo, lahat ng nakasama mo noon, makikita mo rin sila ulit habang tumatagal.
“And  ayoko lang yung pakiramdam na tuwing makita mo sila, mabubuwisit ako or mabubuwisit sila.
“At saka siguro, Direk, dito ako lumaki, nakita ko  yung transition ng bawat artista.
“Nakita ko at inobserbahan ko lahat ng artista na gusto kong obserbahan— kung paano sila ka-professional sa pakikipagtrabaho, kung paano ugali nila sa set, sa pag arte, kung paano sila mag-reinvent ng sarili nila… lahat yun, ginawa ko na.
“Hindi ko namalayang pino-proseso ko pala, kasi ako, ini-enjoy ko lang na pinapanood yung mga tao.
“Hindi ko pala alam na sa loob ko, gusto ko siyang matutunan, kasi gusto ko itong trabahong ito.
“Kasi hindi naman ako magpapaka-ipokrito, Direk, na wala akong kinikita dito, ay hindi naman...
“Kasi, pangit sabihing ‘Ay hindi, hobby lang talaga ito.’ Hello! Bakit naman ako magtatagal nang ganito kung hindi ko naman nabuhay yung pamilya ko dito, di ba?”

FUTURE PLANS. Sunod na tanong ni Direk Joey kay Judy Ann, “Do you have a long-range plan to give up showbiz and venture into something else?”
Tugon niya, “Sa ngayon, Direk, napapag-usapan namin yung maaaring maging plano namin in the future.
“Ano ba yung puwede pang maging business? Para kung sakali man, alam naman natin na dito sa industriya… Hindi ito Hollywood na habang tumatanda ka, mas tumataas yung premium mo.
“Dito kasi, habang tumatanda ka, lalo kang hindi nirerespeto which is nakakalungkot.
“Ang sad, nakakainis isipin na pagtanda mo, bigla ka na lang hindi naa-appreciate ng tao.
“So kami ngayon, lalo na sa akin, kasi pag-aartista lang naman ang alam kong gawin, Direk.”
Dagdag pa niya, “Hindi ko pa kasi... ito kasi yung napag-aralan ko mula noong pagkabata ko.
“So ito ang alam kong profession, wala pang iba pa."
Although, masasabing sa ngayon, may fallback siya.
"Culinary or cooking nagsisimula pa lang ako. Kumbaga, minamahal ko pa siya lalo.
“Hindi ko pa siya masasabi na alam ko na lahat ‘yan at mabubuhay ako sa pagluluto.”



Hiwalayang JUDAY-RYAN walang katotohanan, annulment case ‘KURYENTE’


http://banderablogs.wordpress.com/2013/04/01/hiwalayang-juday-ryan-walang-katotohanan-annulment-case-kuryente/#more-12950


judy ann santosImposible ‘yan, grabeng maglambingan ang mag-asawang ‘yan, ‘no! —Alfie Lorenzo
LAST week ay meron kaming natanggap na text message sa aming “Mismo” program sa DZMM about Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo.
Our texter was asking kung totoong nagpapa-annul na raw ng kanilang marriage sina Juday and Ryan dahil sa mga matitindi raw nilang differences.
Nagulat kami ni Papa Ahwel Paz siyempre dahil honestly, sa aming circle ay wala kaming naririnig na ganoong chika.
Sa pagkakaalam namin ay super strong ang relasyon ng dalawa.
Hindi nga kami nagkamali dahil we got a call from tito Alfie Lorenzo, Juday’s manager and tatay-tatayan, at sinabing kararating lang nina Juday and Ryan from Vietnam.
Kulang na nga lang daw ay mag-renew ng vows ang mag-asawa dala ng sobrang pagmamahalan.Nagulat rin daw si tito Alfie sa naisulat ng isang broadsheet columnist na naghiwalay na nga raw sina Juday at Ryan.
Kami naman ay hindi naniniwala.
“Sina Sunshine (Cruz) and Cesar (Montano) pa, maaaring totoo pero sina Juday and Ryan, iyan ang pinakanakakatawa.
Grabe kung maglambingan ang dalawang iyan kaya malabong mangyari ang annulment issue na ‘yan,” ani tito Alfie na never kaming kinuryente sa mga ibinabalita at isinusulat niya.
Ayan ha, malinaw na iyan from tito Alfie mismo, walang ganoong eksena kina Juday and Ryan.
Kung sinuman ang may gawa-gawa ng chikang ito, wawa naman you.
As in, super wawa naman.

Judy Ann Santos And Ryan Agoncillo On Their Kids


http://www.pinoystop.com/news/celebrity/225/judy-ann-santos-and-ryan-agoncillo-on-their-kids-inevitable-entrance-to-showbiz-studies-first

judy ann santos and ryan agoncillo on their kidsIt is okay for showbiz couple Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos if their kids would want to enter showbiz in the future.

Santos shared that Yohan, their adopted daughter, told her she wants to be like her when she grows up.

She, however, could directly tell Agoncillo that she wants to be an actress.

“Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘As long as you finish your studies, you can do it,'" Santos said.

But Agoncillo said they are still trying to find out what Yohan's interests are. 

He said it's inevitable that she will enter showbiz, given that both he and Santos are in the industry.

But for now, Agoncillo wants his kids' childhood lives to be as normal as possible.

Yohan's grades have been a little shaky the past months, Agoncillo said, so they don't allow her to access the Internet, television and video games.

“What she is allowed to do now is to practice singing, practice her piano."

“And then, we encourage her to… parang biking around the village, normal things for kids to grow up.”

The couple also said that Yohan is growing up to be quite the entertainer. 
She is now used to communicating with different kinds of people since the Agoncillo couple allows her to mingle when they have guests at their house.

They were then asked how they would handle Yohan when she turns into a lady.

Agoncillo said he is still learning "the art of helplessness."

“Pagka may magsimulang manligaw kay Yohan, ang tatay naman, e, puro ganyan lang. Bibigay din naman ‘yan sa kung anong gusto nang anak mo."

But the good thing about Yohan is that they already established a "good line of communication," so she will feel comfortable sharing her feelings.

Just the other day, Agoncillo shared, they were biking around the village when Yohan told him that someone has a crush on her in school.

Lucho, their youngest, is also showing signs that he wants to be in showbiz in the future.

Agoncillo shared that he talked recently with Vic Sotto, and he was the one who told him that his kids will eventually want to enter the showbiz industry.

But what is important is that they are armed with proper tools, Agoncillo quoted Sotto as saying.

“Ang sinasabi lang namin, magtapos kayo ng pag-aaral."

“Gusto ko sana, ganoon sila, buo na sila as people before they join the merry world of show business.” - See more at: http://www.pinoystop.com/news/celebrity/225/judy-ann-santos-and-ryan-agoncillo-on-their-kids-inevitable-entrance-to-showbiz-studies-first#sthash.Qq5RxD4I.dpuf

A nonscandal



The big rumor on Monday was that Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo filed for annulment last week. The couple’s individual camps vehemently denied this. 

Alfie Lorenzo, Santos’ manager, told Rushes: “They just arrived from a vacation in Vietnam.” Noel Ferrer, Agoncillo’s manager, said that Santos had just taped an episode of “Talentadong Pinoy Worldwide” for her husband’s birthday celebration, for airing next week. 

The managers said there was something fishy about the gossip. Lorenzo noted: “Juday never had any scandal in her entire career. Some people are envious.”

Juday, natawa sa annulment nila ni Ryan



Heto na ang shocking news that shook me all night.

Tumawag sa akin ang ilang editors ng broadsheet at tinatanong ako kung bumaba na raw ba 'yung annulment case nina Juday at Ryan? Galing daw sa korte ang balita at ibinaba na raw ang decision.

Malaking "HA?!" ang sigaw ko.

Sinong nag-file? Sinong nagpa-annul? May kapangalan pala sina Juday at Ryan na mag-asawa rin?

Sabi ko, kararating lang mula sa honeymoon sa Vietnam ng dalawa at agree 'yung editor na nakita raw niya sa Facebook 'yung mga litrato nila roon.

Saan daw ba nanggaling ang balitang 'yun? Lalo namang hindi sa akin, wika ko.

Nagtatanong ka pa rin eh pareho tayong similar ang tanong. 

Nagkatawanan na lang kami ng tumawag sa akin nang tatlong beses!

Tinext ko si Juday about it at tulad ng dati na maraming mga babae ang ikinakabit kay Ryan isang mahaba at malutong at malakas na tawa ang isinagot ni Juday sa akin!

Next try, guys and gays!

Judy Ann Santos excited to premier 'Against All Odds'


http://www.sunstar.com.ph/manila/entertainment/2013/03/26/judy-ann-santos-excited-premier-against-all-odds-274833

ACTRESS Judy Ann Santos is excited to premier her upcoming Kapamilya primetime series "Against All Odds".
After the series was moved to a later release this year, Juday shared she started taping again for the series with KC Concepcion and Sam Milby.
She said that she enjoyed working with the two as they have a good working relationship on the set.
"Blessed ako na lagi akong nakakahanap ng katrabahong comfortable, very professional, and nakakamiss din makatrabaho yung mga direktor na kasama namin. Masaya na nakakakita ka ng mga kapamilya sa production every week," she said.
Despite being the lead actress behind the hit television series "Esperanza," "Sa Puso Ko Iingatan Ka," "Krystala," "Sa Piling Mo," and "Ysabella," Juday said she is still nervous on how the audience would react to her new show. The series is a comeback project for Juday after a three-year layoff.
"May kaba. Hindi lang naman ako kinakabahan sa mga proyektong ginagawa ko, lalo na ngayon na may tatlong taon din akong di nakita ng tao sa teleserye. Sana yung expectations hindi masyadong matindi," she said.
But more than anything, she said she is excited to provide quality television series for the Filipino viewers.
"Excited ako kasi pinagkatiwalaan ako ng ABS at ni Sir Deo (Endrinal) sa isang magandang magandang project. Ang trabaho ko na lang ngayon ay mapatunayan na kaya kong itawid itong teleserye," she said.
The actress hinted that she might also do another drama movie this year. Juday said the next couple of months would be the most exciting part of her 2013.
Meanwhile, Juday commented on Jericho Rosales' decision not to join the new primetime series.
She said that as far as she knows, many offers came to Jericho while they were waiting for the start of the taping for "Against All Odds." She said the actor just couldn't turn down such big opportunities.
Juday said Jericho would excel in any acting project to be given to him.
"May mga projects na para talaga sa kanya, may mga projects siguro na hindi rin para sa kanya. Siguro someday (magkatrabaho kami). Sayang lang na hindi natuloy pero mas may magandang opportunity for him," she ended.

Judy Ann Santos returns to drama via Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala


http://www.thechicka.com/judy-ann-santos-returns-to-drama/
Judy Ann Santos Photo GalleryJudy Ann Santos is finally back in the acting department. The Young Superstar is currently busy taping for her upcoming teleserye, Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala, with KC Concepcion, John Estrada and Sam Milby. The drama series was previously titled Against All Odds, until Concepcion announced on her Twitter account that it was retitled to Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala.  
Production for the said drama series started last year but was stalled when the lead stars got their hands tied with other projects: Santos for Pinoy Masterchef, Concepcion for X Factor Philippinesand Milby for Kahit Konting Pagtingin. Now that everyone has found time for the series, taping for Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala is in full swing.
Aside from the schedule and title, the series alsoencountered changes in the cast members. The role Estrada will be portraying was previously signed to Jericho Rosales who had to beg off from the series because of the delays.  He decided to give priority to an acting project in Malaysia (read related story) instead of waiting for his co-stars to finish their other commitments.   
Santos said that she is both excited and nervous about her latest TV project. It has been three years since she starred in the teleserye, Habang May Buhay, before laying low in showbiz to take care or her new born son, Lucio. Now that she is back to acting on television, Juday hopes that she could still meet the viewers’ expectations when it comes to drama.
Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala is slated to premier later this year. The cast also includes Mylene Dizon, Empress Schuck, Joseph Marco, Bryan Termulo, Tirso Cruz III, Coney Reyes, Louise Abuel, Susan Africa and Blythe Gorostiza.

Mom hopes Kathryn will follow in Judai's footsteps

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/03/15/13/mom-hopes-kathryn-will-follow-judais-footsteps

Posted at 03/15/2013 12:33 PM | Updated as of 03/15/2013 6:00 PM
Teen actress Kathryn Bernardo. File Photo
MANILA, Philippines - The mother of teen actress Kathryn Bernardo wants the "Princess and I" star to follow in the footsteps of young superstar Judy Ann Santos.
"Sana 'yung career path ni Judai ay makuha niya. Kasi si Judai, ang ganda ng career niya even noong nag-asawa siya. Sana ay ganoon," Mommy Min said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
Bernardo rose to fame after portraying the role of Mara in the remake of the ABS-CBN drama "Mara Clara." The said role was originally played by Santos.
Min said that just like Santos, her daughter should always give her best in every project.
"Lagi kong sinasabi sa kanya na lahat ng opportunities, give your best. Kaya lahat ng project niya ay pinag-iigihan naman niya," she said.
Bernardo starred in the top-rating primetime soap "Princess and I," which ended last month.

On Daniel
In a previous interview, Min said she has no problems with her daughter's "relationship" with teen actor Daniel Padilla, one of her leading men in "Princess and I."
Padilla and Bernardo recently admitted that they are already in the "MU" or "mutual understanding" stage.
"Sa akin naman, napakaano naman kung wala munang ligaw, okay lang pero wag lang magmadali sana," Min said.
Like Min, Bernardo's father Teddy also appreciates his daughter's friendship with Padilla.
But he asked the actor to not go beyond that -- at least for now.
"Dapat. Naaappreciate ko ang friendship at closeness nila, pero hanggang doon na lang muna," he said.

MANILA, Philippines - Young superstar Judy Ann Santos finally broke her silence on the issue that actor Jericho Rosales will no longer be part of her upcoming series on ABS-CBN, "Against All Odds."
"Well, may mga project na para sa kanya at may mga projects na hindi para sa kanya. But then again, someday, we can't say. Sayang lang na hindi natuloy pero baka mas may magandang opportunity for him," Santos said in an interview on Thursday.
"Naniniwala ako na si Jericho is a good actor and kaya niyang itawid kahit anong project na ibigay sa kanya," the actress added.
Sam Milby, one of the stars of "Against All Odds," said in a previous interview that John Estrada has been tapped to replace Rosales in the upcoming series.
Milby also denied that Rosales backed out of the series because of billing problems. He said the issue was never raised and that it was really a conflict in the actor's schedule that caused the change in the casting.
Meanwhile, Santos shared her excitement as she resumed taping for the soap.
"Nag-resume na kami, nakaka-3 times taping na kami last week," she said.
"Masaya, masaya talaga. Blessed ako na palagi akong nakakahanap ng katrabaho na very comfortable at very professional, at 'yung mga director na kasama namin. Nakakatuwa at nakaka-miss 'yung may pamilya kang nakikita sa production every week. Nakakapanibago lang sa simula pero ngayon ko na-realize na ito pala yung na-miss ko," Santos said.

Judy Ann kabado sa pagbabalik sa teleserye


Malapit nang mapanood ang bagong teleserye ni Judy Ann Santos na Against All Odds. Kasama ng aktres sa nasabing proyekto sina KC Concepcion at Sam Milby. Masaya si Judy Ann dahil nakasama niya ang dalawa sa soap opera sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon.
“Masaya talaga. Blessed ako na lagi akong nakakahanap ng mga katrabahong very comfortable and very professional,” bungad ni Juday.
Kinakabahan daw ang aktres sa kanyang pagbabalik sa pag-arte dahil taong 2010 pa ang kanyang pinakahuling nagawang serye, ang Habang May Buhay.
“Oo naman, may kaba, lalo na ngayon, medyo may tatlong taon din na akong ’di nakita ng tao sa teleserye. Sana ’yung expectations hindi masyadong matindi,” pagtatapat ni Juday.
“Pero sa kabila ng lahat ng ‘yon dahil pinagkatiwalaan ako ng ABS-CBN at ni Sir Deo (Endrinal) ng isang magandang project, ang trabaho ko lang talaga ngayon is kaya kong maitawid itong teleseryeng ito,” giit ng aktres.
Samantala, isang kakaibang pelikula rin ang nakatakdang gawin ni Judy Ann bago magtapos ang taon.
“Surprise na muna. Actually, excited na nga akong sabihin pero ’di ba nga sabi nila huwag mo munang bilangin ang mga sisiw hangga’t ’di pa nagha-hatch? Pero for this year, ito ang pinaka-nakaka-excite na part ng career ko ng 2013. Sana matuloy,” makahulugang pahayag ng aktres.
