NAWALA agad?” Some people wonder why the Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo soap, “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” has to end after just a brief stint on air.

Generally, people would perceive it ending because of low ratings, contrary to what Juday’s co-actor Sam Milby said when he was interviewed on TV Patrol, “the show is getting very high ratings”.

There’s a word that after the soap ends, Judy Ann would transfer networks but it’s not known yet on whether she’ll be ending up in GMA7 or TV5.

According to other reports, the actress is now weighing options whether to transfer or not. Santos’s contract with ABS-CBN expired last July yet hence the actress is now free to take any offer from other networks while the Kapamilya network, Judy Ann’s home network for two decades, is still drafting a new contract for her. But manager Alfie Lorenzo made a remark about this saying “baka drop hindi draft.”

Rumor has it that the actress felt bad when ABS-CBN decided to move her comeback teleserye to a later timeslot to give way to “Muling Buksan ang Puso” when her show was doing better in television ratings.

Allegedly this time around, the network wanted to move the show’s timeslot again to accommodate Daniel Padilla-Kathryn Bernardo soap “Got to Believe.”

Judy Ann was allegedly offended after some executives told her about the move and in disappointment, she reportedly remarked to just end her soap instead of transferring it to a later timeslot where there’s less viewership.

‘Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala’ premiered June 17 and will air its finale on August 23, only two months after it first aired. Known for being a star builder station through the years, it is expected ABS-CBN would give new stars more big breaks just like what they are doing to Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Julia Montes, among others.

Does this mean ABS-CBN has come to a point when they are no longer interested with Judy Ann Santos? Just asking…

Judy Ann Santos undecided about leaving ABS-CBN

In an interview with Judy Ann Santos about transferring to other network is not yet finalize,   the actress said she has not yet made any decision about her next move after her hit series "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" ends its run next week.

In a press conference on Thursday, Santos admitted that a rival network had made an offer.

"Hindi ko pa masasagot kasi gusto ko muna magpahinga siguro a couple of weeks. Gusto ko muna ibigay itong peace sa akin. Kasi medyo nawindang din ako for the past few weeks. I think I deserve to just relax and spend time with my kids and husband," Santos told reporters.

"But doors for ABS-CBN will always, always be open. I will never deny the fact that ABS-CBN is my mother network, my mother station," she said.

"Offers from other networks, yes, nandiyan sila but at the end of the day ako pa din ang magde-desisyon. Baka kailangan ko lang mag-isip at magpahinga. Masyado lang ako sigurong napagod sa mga bagay-bagay but 'yung pagod na 'yon was really well worth it. Siguro part ng pagod na 'yon is the fact na kailangan mong mag-mature as a person. May mga bagay na kailangan mong isipin.

"Ayaw kong magdesisyon ng masama ang loob kasi baka mali ang desisyon ko. Ayaw kong mag-desisyon ng masaya kasi baka mali din ang maging desisyon ko. Gusto ko mag-desisyon ng nasa praktikal ang desisyon ko. Kasi sa tunay na salita lahat tayo ay nagiging praktikal pagdating sa buhay natin at pagdating sa pamilya natin. Tao lang ako nasasaktan ...so kailangan ko lang magpahinga," Santos explained.

Asked if she feels that ABS-CBN was able to give her the due respect she deserves, Santos said: "Hindi ko idi-deny na oo naman, naibigay naman ng bonggang bongga. 'Yung programa lahat, may oo na sagot, mayroon ding hindi na sagot. Kilala niyo ako -- hindi ako sinungaling at plastik. Oo, naitawid nila pero may mga bagay na hindi at may mga bagay na hanggang ngayon ay question mark pa din sa akin. Siguro mas nakakabuti na wala na lang 'yung tag na 'reyna' para walang expectations."

Santos stressed that she's grateful to ABS-CBN.

"Then again, of course, 'yung utang na loob will always be there, possibilities of entering new life will always be there. Kung ano man ang sitwasyon ngayon it's settled already and I'm just more than happy na tanggap kaming lahat," she said.

In the press conference, Santos also turned emotional as she finally bade goodbye to her hit show, admitting that it was her decision to end the series earlier.

"Sabi nga nila all good things must come to an end. It was my decision to end the show earlier. But then again I appreciate that the management listened to what I have to say. Originally it should be move to the fourth timeslot and I asked the management kung pwedeng third na muna para earlier kaming matatapos and I really appreciate the fact na pinagbigyan nila ako.

"Para sa akin it was a very, very hard decision kasi isang taon mo itong ginawa. 'Yung appreciation naman na nakuha ng cast at ng team ng 'Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala' mas bongga pa sa ini-expect namin. So I had to take that responsibility. It was me, it was my decision to end it earlier," Santos said.

Santos also addressed reports that the fans of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, the stars of the upcoming series "Got To Believe,"have something to do with her decision.

There have been reports of some "KatNiel" fans allegedly bashing Santos and spreading rumors that the actress' show is not rating well.

"'Yung 'Got To Believe,' sa totoo lang, ayaw kong mag-react sa isyu, sa kanila, kasi it's a totally different thing. Pero sa tunay na salita, 'yung 'Got To Believe' na teleserye has nothing to do with my decision. It was me and the management and pagbigyan natin ang mga bata, this is their moment to shine. Ang sa akin lang I was gone for two years and gusto kong mamaalam sa teleserye ng taas noo," Santos said.ABS-CBN

JUDY ANN SANTOS, WALANG BALAK LUMIPAT SA CINCO!

Aware naman pala si Mother Biboy Arboleda na may mga offers coming from different networks ang lead actress ng kanilang Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala soap but he says he is most confident that knowing how sane and level-headed Judy Ann Santos has become, she is not going to exchange her present situation at ABS CBN with all the money in the world.

To be truthful, may apat na movie offers nga raw ito na handsomely compensated naman siya but she is taking her sweet honest time and is not committing herself to any project yet.

Honestly speaking, tapos na raw si Juday sa pagbi-bread trip. Mas gusto niya ang magagandang movie projects na magdaragdag ng glitter sa kanyang career more than anything else.

Basta at the moment, nakatutok daw ang buong panahon ng mahusay na aktres sa soap niya sa Dreamscape Productions na magtatapos na this coming August 23, barring some hitches.

Kay Juday pa rin, super impressed si Mother Biboy sa pagiging method actress ng alaga ni Mother Alfie Lorenzo. Aral na aral daw nito ang kanyang acting to the point na alam niya kung kailan patutuluin ang kanyang luha sa bawat eksena.

Bravo!

For the parting shot, Mother Biboy has adamantly stressed na never naman daw natalbugan ng My Husband’s Lover ang soap nilang Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala particularly sa national ratings kung saan ang layo ng agwat nito sa kalaban.

Period!

Abangan nga pala ang surprise twist sa character ni Tirso Cruz III sa soap na ‘to bago sa penultimate scene. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

You guys are going to be enormously surprised.

Promise!

Sam Milby Denies Low Rating Is Reason For Premature Ending Of "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala"

http://www.pinoystop.com/news/celebrity/1790/sam-milby-denies-low-rating-is-reason-for-premature-ending-of-huwag-ka-lang-mawawala

Sam Milby said the rating of "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" is significantly higher than its rival "My Husband's Lover," which means that rumors saying it is being axed because of low ratings are not true.

Originally, the teleserye was scheduled for 13 episodes or one season. Milby was hoping it could be extended but unfortunately, ABS-CBN did not plan to do so. Instead, rumors started surfacing it would be bumped to a later timeslot because of Daniel Padilla's and Kathryn Bernardo's "Got To Believe."

"Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" premiered on June 17 and will end on August 23. Milby said it is saddening to know that the teleserye will end in two weeks. He enjoyed taping with Judy Ann Santos and KC Concepcion for more than a year.

He thanked Santos for sacrificing so much for the teleserye and for choosing him and Concepcion as co-stars. Santos personally chose the two for the roles of Eros and Alexis.

Milby maintained he had been getting such positive feedback regarding the teleserye that he sometimes hope it doesn't have to end so soon. However, the actor furthered it is also a good thing that "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" will end on a high note.

The teleserye revolves around the life of Anessa (Santos), a provincial girl who married Eros (Milby), a rich businessman. Eros' father, Romulus (Tirso Cruz III), did not approve of their relationship from the start. He tried to do everything to tore them apart.

At first, everything was fine until Eros started physically and sexually abusing his wife. Anessa even caught him in an affair with Alexis (Concepcion), Eros' supposed bestfriend who was in love with him since they were children.

Romulus tried to kill Anessa to gain custody of his grandson. Five years after, Anessa came back to seek revenge against Eros, Romulus and Alexis. She also wants to get her son back.

Aside from rumors of low ratings, Santos' contract with ABS-CBN will also be ending soon. Some said she is in talks with TV5's Manny Pangilinan. The actress apparently did not take kindly to the management's plan to bump her teleserye to a later timeslot since this will affect their ratings.

Judy Ann Santos to turn Kapatid or Kapuso soon?

http://whynotcoconut.com/2013/08/07/judy-ann-santos-to-turn-kapatid-or-kapuso-soon/

Judy Ann Santos‘ contract with ABS-CBN ended last July and she has not renewed her contract with the network yet!

We already know that her teleserye Huwag Ka lang Mawawala will end on the third week of August. It is just a very short teleserye compared to her past teleseryes before.

It was rumored that Juday got pissed off because the time slot of the said teleserye was moved to a later time and now they wanted to move it again to a later time slot. Thus, she decided to end the teleserye while they are still enjoying high ratings.

Juday’s talent manager said that she is set to talk with Manny Pangilinan of TV5 anytime soon and also with Kapuso executives. The reason is that if Juday will renew her contract with ABS-CBN only the date is new and the rest of the contract are still the same.

Does this means that her talent fee is not increasing that much in the past 20 years with the network?

Will Judy Ann turns Kapatid or Kapuso?

What do you think?

Judy Ann is up for grabs

http://www.journal.com.ph/index.php/entertainment/showbiz-news/55734-judy-ann-is-up-for-grabs


HINDI na mai-extend ang Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala teleserye ni Judy Ann Santos na hiling ng Queen of Pinoy Teleserye ng showbiz.

After all, umani na rin naman ito ng papuri at wala na ring dapat pang patunayan si Juday bilang reyna.

Siyempre, tuwang-tuwa ang fans nina Daniel Padilla at Kathryn Bernardo dahil masasalang na ang na-delay nilang Got to Believe.

For sure, at the back of Juday’s mind, gusto rin niyang pagbigyan ang mga kabataang artista.

Eh, hindi naman puwedeng late ang telecast ng GTB. So, ito ang isusunod marahil sa Juan de la Cruz ni Coco Martin.

Tutal, malakas sa TV ang aktor, kaya dapat lang nilang samantalahin ang kasikatan niyang ito, huh!

Alam naman natin kung ano ang kapalaran ng movies na nagawa ni Coco.

Anyway, sa sinulat ng manager ni Juday na si Tito Alfie Lorenzo, may meeting daw sila ni Judy Ann kasama ang TV5 boss na si Manny Pangilinan.

Eh, may narinig din kaming makikipag-meeting din daw ang GMA bosses sa dalawa, huh!

Puwes, unahan ang GMA at TV5 kay Juday na, ayon kay Tito Alfie, ay last July pa nag-expire ang kontrata sa ABS-CBN.

Judy Ann Santos to leave ABS-CBN after Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala

http://www.thechicka.com/judy-ann-santos-ends-huwag-ka-lang-mawawala/

Alfie Lorenzo, talent manager of Teleserye Queen Judy Ann Santos, has hinted in a recent article that his ward is leaving ABS-CBN after her top-rating drama series Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala (HKLM) ends in a couple of weeks (August 23 according to some reports).

In the article published in abante-tonite.com today, the veteran entertainment writer and talent manager lashed out at KathNiel fans (supporters of the Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla) for spreading rumors that Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala is ending soon because of poor ratings.

‘Mababa ang ratings ng teleserye ni Juday? Tingnan n’yo nga ang mga ratings ng shows ng ABS-CBN at mas mataas pa ang ratings ng Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala kesa sa extended na Be Careful With My Heart, ‘noh?!” he wrote.

He also voiced out his disappointment over the unfair treatment Santos is getting from her home network. Lorenzo said the network used Santos to boost the popularity of Sam Milby and KC Concepcion and then just kicked her like a dog.

“Nagpagamit si Juday para makilala sina Sam Milby at KC Concepcion na ‘di maisip ng mga sipsip kung paano paliliparin sa kasikatan ang dalawa, heto pa ang ginawa kay Juday… parang aso na sinipa-sipa na lang basta,” the article said.

Rumor has it that the abrupt ending of the series stemmed from Santos’ disappointment over her network.  The actress allegedly got offended when she heard that management plans to move HKLM again to a much later time slot to give way to the upcoming Daniel Padilla-Kathryn Bernardo starrerGot To Believe. Santos has previously agreed to move HKLM to a later time slot to give way to Muling Buksan Ang Puso but moving it again to give way to another show is just too much. Hence, Santos allegedly decided to end her series than have it moved to a time slot with very limited viewership.

Because of what has transpired, it seems that Santos has no plans of renewing her contract with the Kapamilya network which reportedly expired in July.

In his article, Lorenzo said Santos will not be seen in ABS-CBN after Huwag Ka lang Mawawala. He added that his ward will be making projects in other networks instead.

“Eh blessing in disguise pa ang nangyayari ngayon dahil pag natapos na ang Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala ay mawawala muna sa ABS-CBN si Juday.

“Dahil hindi siya nag-MMK eh sa Magpakailanman siya gagawa.

“At wala rin lang movie ang Star Cinema para kay Juday kaya sa TV5 film outfit na Studio 5 gagawa ng movie si Juday!

“Akala nila ay mawawalan ng trabaho si Juday? Ang daming naghihintay ng availability ni Juday na ngayon ay mapapagbigyan na,” wrote Lorenzo.

He has previously said that he and Santos is slated to meet with TV-5 boss Manny V. Pangilinan as well as GMA executives for possible collaborations.

Judy Ann Santos’ “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” to end this month

http://www.thechicka.com/judy-ann-santos-huwag-ka-lang-mawawala/

Top rating Kapamilya drama series Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala is reportedly running until the end of August only. It premiered on June 17, 2013, marking Judy Ann Santos’ return to primetime drama after a self imposed hiatus to take care of her new family.

According to Alfie Lorenzo, Santos’ talent manager, his ward wants to end the series while its on top of the ratings charts. HKLM, which tackles domestic violence and women empowerment, is fast paced and Santos fears that stretching the plot may have adverse effect on the series ratings-wise.

The series dominated the 8:30-9:15pm timeslot when it first aired in June. Although it was moved to a later time slot to give way for ABS-CBN’s new teleserye, Muling Buksan Ang Puso, it continues to lead in the ratings game up to this day.

According to another rumor, Santos was not happy when she heard that management plans to move HKLM to a much later time slot to give way to the upcoming Daniel Padilla-Kathryn Bernardo starrer Got To Believe. Santos allegedly requested the network to just end her series than move it to a later time slot. We also heard that her contract with ABS-CBN is due to expire soon. Will she renew or move to another network?

In a recent report, the Kapamilya network has decided to place Got To Believe on the time slot following HKLM. After HKLM ends, Got To Believe will take its time slot and will be followed by Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin, the long overdue series starring Gerald Anderson, Cristine Reyes and Dawn Zulueta.

UPDATE (August 6, 2013, 8:00am)

The Kapamilya network released on Monday a Press Statement claiming that the series Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala continues to lord it over the ratings game. Based on the August 2 data from Kantar Media, the Judy Ann Santos starrer scored a 14-point lead versus its rival show My Husband’s Lover on GMA. The full press release reads as follows:

Pinoy Soap Opera Queen Judy Ann Santos continues to keep primetime viewers on the edge of their seats as her character Anessa claims vengeance and risks her all to recover her kidnapped son in ABS-CBN’s consistent top-rating and fast-paced primetime drama series Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala.From being a battered wife of Eros (Sam Milby), Anessa empowered herself and rose to defend herself from the people who maltreated her and to fight for her right as the mother of Emman (Miguel Vergara) who was kidnapped by Eros and Alexis (KC Concepcion).

How far will Anessa’s retribution take her? How will she turn Eros and Alexis’ wedding ‘more special?

Meanwhile, because of its compelling narrative and top caliber performance of its powerhouse cast, Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala remains unbeatable in its time slot since it premiered on June 17.

In fact, Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala managed to beat two primetime teleseryes of GMA namely, Mundo Mo’y Akin and My Husband’s Lover. On July 5 (Friday), the Kapamilya drama series hit its all-time high national TV ratings of 31.4% based on data from Kantar Media covering urban and rural homes nationwide. It rated nine points higher than its then rival show, Mundo Mo’y Akin which only scored 22%.

Like Anessa, Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala, which is set to end soon, stayed undefeatable despite new competition. Based on the latest data from Kantar Media last Friday (August 2), Judy Ann’s drama series scores a 14-point lead versus My Husband’s Lover.

Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala airs weeknights after Muling Buksan Ang Puso on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.

While the press release didn’t mention the date of the series’ finale, a reliable source says Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala is set to air its last episode on August 23, 1013.

Judy Ann Santos move to TV5?

http://www.newzgrid.com/entertainment/judy-ann-santos-move-tv5

After Ogie Alcasid, is Judy Ann Santos the next big celebrity to move to TV5?

 

The actress’ long-time manager Alfie Lorenzo informed Yahoo! Philippines OMG! that after Judy Ann’s agreement with ABS-CBN terminated in This July (2013), the Kapamilya network has not yet completed the set up of her new agreement.

 

“So tinanong ko kung draft nga ba yon or drop,” Alfie explained. “Ang kailangan lang naman nilang palitan ay yung petsa.”

 

He also reported how the timeslot of Judy Ann’s teleserye “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” has been changed to provide Julia Montes' "Muling Buksan Ang Puso."

 

Now, “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” is again positioned to change its timeslot to provide way to Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo’s “Got to Believe.” News also say “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” will soon go off the air.

 

“Si Judy Ann hindi nagrereklamo,” Alfie added.  “Kahit saang location siya dalhin, okay lang.  Hindi rin siya nagpapa-package deal gaya ng iba diyan.”

 

He revealed  that GMA 7 and TV5  have tempting offers for Judy Ann – like an episode in “Magpakailanman” and a project for TV5’s movie arm.

 

Alfie said he is slated to meet with TV5 big boss Manny V. Pangilinan  next week.

 

“Hindi ko na hihintayin ang draft (of the ABS contract),”  he added.

Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo, may gagawing project sa Singko?!

http://www.pinoyparazzi.com/judy-ann-santos-at-ryan-agoncillo-may-gagawing-project-sa-singko/

TOTOO KAYA ang balita na after ng teleseryeng Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala ni Juday Ann Santos sa Kapamilya Network na magtatapos na sa itong August, tulad ng napapagusapan, may niluluto diumano si Tito Alfie Lorenzo na manager ni Juday na isang project with Ryan Agoncillo for TV 5?

Not a bad idea, pero ang problema ay ang creative team pa rin ng Singko na until now, pang #Throwback Thursday pa rin ang mga palabas from the Derek Ramsey (aksyun-aksyonan series) and  Cassandra , Angel Warrior (tele-pantasyahan).

Pero between Singko at Siyete, p’wede kaya, Tito Alfie, na sa Kapuso Network na lang?

Judy Ann Santos, napuno na?!

http://www.pinoyparazzi.com/judy-ann-santos-napuno-na/

PALAISIPAN SA ngayon ang nakarang tweet ni Judy Ann Santos sa @OfficialJuday na, “There’s a big difference between giving up and when you had enough.”

Ang tanong ng iba, hindi raw kaya ito sa nababalitang problema pa rin ni Judy Ann Santos sa isyung may matinding pinagdaraanan ang relasyon nilang dalawa ng asawang si Ryan Agoncillo? Kung matatandaan, nabalita noon pa na nagbabalak magsampa ng kasong annulment daw ang aktres para mapawalang-bisa na ang kasal nila ng asawa na agad namang binigyang-linaw ng dalawa na walang katotohanan at maayos ang relasyon nila.

May ilan namang nagsasabi na masama raw ang loob ni Juday sa nalalapit daw na pagkawala sa ere ng seryeng Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala.

Sa pakikipagpalitan naman ng tweets ng aktres kay @malwar28, na sumagot n ang aktres na lahat ng istorya ay may katapusan.

Nang tanungin kung bakit mawawala na agad ito sa ere. Balita rin na may alok daw ang TV5 para lumipat sa kanila ang aktres ngayong tapos na ang kontrata ni Juday sa ABS nun’g nakaraang Hulyo, sa ngayon nga raw ay wala pang negosasyong nagaganap kung pipirma muli si Juday para maging Kapamilya muli o pasasakabilang bakod ito sa Kapatid network.

Masasabing hindi klaro kung sa personal ba o propesyonal ang pinatutungkulan ni Juday sa kanyang tweet. Pero tiyak na lalabas din naman ang totoo sa kung ano ba ang ibig niyang sabihin sa kanyang naging mensahe.

Judy Ann Santos, kagustuhan din na matapos agad ang teleserye

http://www.pinoyparazzi.com/judy-ann-santos-kagustuhan-din-na-matapos-agad-ang-teleserye/

MARAMI ANG nagtatanong sa amin sa Twitter kumba’t tatapusin na agad ang Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala kung kelan naman daw sila na-hook sa teleseryeng ito ng reyna ng teleserye na si Judy Ann Santos.

Kami ang tinatanong, dahil kasama nga kami sa seryeng ito. Pero sa totoo lang, maikli lang talaga ang “buhay” ng naturang serye, dahil ‘yun ang gusto ni Juday.

Galing na kasi si Juday sa mga seryeng inaabot ng dalawang taon. Eh, ayaw ni Juday na maumay ang mga tao at gusto nito’y kahit patapos na ay pinag-uusapan pa rin ang kanyang show.

Kami naman ay pumasok lang sa ikapitong linggo at kung sakaling totoo ang Aug. 23, eh thank you pa rin sa almost a month na “work”. Hindi na masama, ‘di ba? Lalo pa’t kahit nasa third slot ng drama ang Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala ay umaabot pa rin ang rating nito sa 28+. Again, hindi na masama, ‘di ba?

At very thankful kami, dahil sa ikli ng labas namin ay namarkahan agad kami ng mga televiewers. Hindi na masama, ‘di ba? Hahahaha!

As usual, maghihintay na naman kami ng isang bagong pintuan na magbubukas sa amin para mapasali uli sa isang teleserye ng ABS-CBN.

Judy Ann Santos leaving ABS-CBN?

Judy Ann Santos

MANILA, Philippines - Will Judy Ann Santos no longer be a Kapamilya after her show ends?

In his column on the tabloid Abante-Tonite published Thursday, Judy Ann’s manager Alfie Lorenzo said he ismulling over the possibility of the actress doing projects with rival networks GMA 7 and TV5.

This comes days after it was rumored that Judy Ann’s ongoing show “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” will be cancelled in three weeks.

“Eh blessing in disguise pa ang nangyayari ngayon dahil 'pag natapos na ang Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala ay mawawala muna sa ABS-CBN si Juday,” Lorenzo wrote.

“Dahil hindi siya nag-MMK eh sa Magpakailanman siya gagawa,” he added. MMK is ABS-CBN’s drama anthology program “Maalaala Mo Kaya,” while “Magpakailanman” is GMA 7’s weekly drama show.

Lorenzo further wrote: “At wala rin lang movie ang Star Cinema para kay Juday kaya sa TV5 film outfit na Studio 5 gagawa ng movie si Juday!” Star Cinema is ABS-CBN’s film production arm.

Entertainment ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1

‘Unbelievable serye’

Lorenzo used his column to express his dismay towards the fans of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernado. He said their fans were bashing Judy Ann and her show, claiming “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” will be cancelled due to poor ratings.

The Kapamilya love team’s show “Got to Believe” was slated to premiere last July but was shelved. According to Lorenzo, Daniel and Kathryn’s fans are claiming “Got to Believe” will replace the slot Judy Ann’s show will vacate since the latter underperformed.

“Anoh, sigurado kaya sila na papatok ang unbelievable serye na ‘yan?” Lorenzo wrote.

He added: “Mababa ang ratings ng teleserye ni Juday? Tingnan n’yo nga ang mga ratings ng shows ng ABS-CBN at mas mataas pa ang ratings ng Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala kesa sa extended na Be Careful With My Heart, ‘noh?!”

An entertainment website reported that Lorenzo will talk to TV5’s Manny Pangilinan next week.

“Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” premiered June 17 this year. The show was Judy Ann’s first soap opera in three years.

If reports are true that the show will be cancelled in three weeks, “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” will end in 11 weeks, a relatively short run of a primetime soap opera.

To stay or not to stay…

These reports coincide with Judy Ann’s cryptic messages on micro-blogging site Twitter.
 

Judy Ann isn’t the only big star rumored to be making the big move this year. Marian Rivera is also rumored to be mulling a transfer from GMA 7 to ABS-CBN after her contract with the Kapuso network ends this month.

Just this Tuesday, Ogie Alcasid signed a three-year contract with TV5 after he left GMA 7.

After Ogie Alcasid, is Judy Ann Santos the next big star to transfer to TV5?

The actress’ long-time manager Alfie Lorenzo told Yahoo! Philippines OMG! that after Judy Ann’s contract with ABS-CBN expired in July (2013), the Kapamilya network has not yet finished the draft of her new contract.

“So tinanong ko kung draft nga ba yon or drop,” Alfie explained. “Ang kailangan lang naman nilang palitan ay yung petsa.”

He also lamented how the timeslot of Judy Ann’s teleserye “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” has been moved to accommodate Julia Montes' "Muling Buksan Ang Puso."

Now, “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” is again poised to change its timeslot to give way to Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo’s “Got to Believe.” Reports also say “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala” will soon go off the air.

“Si Judy Ann hindi nagrereklamo,” Alfie added.  “Kahit saang location siya dalhin, okay lang.  Hindi rin siya nagpapa-package deal gaya ng iba diyan.”

He revealed  that GMA 7 and TV5  have tempting offers for Judy Ann – like an episode in “Magpakailanman” and a project for TV5’s movie arm.

Alfie said he is slated to meet with TV5 big boss Manny V. Pangilinan  next week.

LA GRETA, ENJOY SA PAG-EKSENA SA SERYE NI JUDAY

http://kapamilyanewsngayon.blogspot.com/2013/07/la-greta-enjoy-sa-pag-eksena-sa-serye.html

Obvious na masaya ang award-winning actress na si Gretchen Barretto sa nalalapit niyang paglabas sa top-rating primetime teleserye ng ABS-CBN na "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" na pinagbibidahan ng Pinoy Soap Opera Queen na si Judy Ann Santos.

Sam earns praise for good acting

MANILA, Philippines - Sam Milby (photo) has earned the praise of both fans and critics in portraying a flawed character in the ABS-CBN TV series, Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala.

Shrieks turn into applauses once audiences have realized that what they’re seeing is Sam playing Eros, putting aside his boy-next-door image.

Praises come abound on Twitter acknowledging his portrayal of rich kid Eros who treats his partner with a mix of warm embrace and iron fist. That he is acting opposite Judy Ann Santos, who plays the battered wife Anessa, is proof that he can perform well.

“Tama yan Sam, say bye bye na to boy-next-door roles. You are really a good actor so say hi na to more mature and serious roles,” stated a casual remark.

Others obviously can’t resist looking at his antagonist character with that tickling touch of super fan excitement like this one: “We hate Eros really, but we still love Sam Milby!”

When people love to hate a dark character, it only means the actor behind it is doing something bright.

“I can say that the desire to grow has never been this great,” Sam recently told reporters when discussing about his challenging role he initially describes as “heavy.”

Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala replaced Ina Kapatid Anak when it premiered on ABS-CBN last June 17. KC Concepcion and John Estrada also star in the series about the plight of women thrust into a difficult marriage.

Sam’s turn as Eros is practically a watershed moment for him as it might lead to more meaty role offers in the future. Not that he is completely moving away from light romance flicks, but because he has more to offer as an actor.

His versatility, exemplified by his achievements in music and related ventures, speaks more for his acting craft as he also stars in Star Cinema’s Four Sisters and a Wedding and in the Adolfo Alix-directed indie film Death March. The latter was an entry to the Cannes Film Festival where Sam plays a US soldier forced to participate in the infamous Bataan Death March.

Juday, ‘di kayang talunin ng ‘My Husband’s Lover’

KALIWA’T kanan ang pahayag ng GMA-7 na nangunguna na sa primetime ang programa nilang My Husband’s Lover na pinagbibidahan nina Dennis Trillo, Tom Rodriguez at Carla Abellana at ipinost din nila ito sa social media.

Pero base sa research ng aming source ay kasinungalingan lang daw ang pag-iingay sa Twitter na panalo na sa ratings ang My Husband’s Lover kontra sa Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala na pinagbibidahan ni Judy Ann Santos.

Sa survey ng Kantar Media, hindi lang sa Mega Manila kundi sa buong Pilipinas ay never pa palang nanalo sa ratings ang MHL mula nang umere ito.

Una na itong inilampaso ng Apoy Sa Dagat nina Angelica Panganiban, Piolo Pascual at Diether Ocampo, at patuloy na tinatalo ng Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala.

At sa latest ratings (hindi sa Twitter trending kinuha ang data) noong Miyerkules (Hulyo 17), panalo pa rin ang serye ni Juday sa national TV ratings na 21.9%, o mas mataas ng limang puntos sa nakuhang 16.5% ng My Husband Lover.
