Judy Ann Santos reveals she asks husband Ryan Agoncillo’s advice on how to be a good host

by: Bernie Franco

Judy Ann Santos is now gearing up for her TV comeback, via the reality cooking show for kids, Junior Master Chef the Philippine edition. This is also the Teleserye Queen’s first-ever hosting stint and Juday revealed that she had asked husband Ryan Agoncillo for advice on how to be a good host.

Juday has even asked Ryan to be present when she does her first episode. “Hindi naman ako magaling mag-adlib, hindi ako parang si Ryan na mahusay siyang magsalita. Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Pwede bang sa rehearsal nandun ka para lang ma-guide niya ko?’ Sabi niya, ‘No, madali lang ‘yan sa ‘yo. Hindi mo na mapapansin na nagsasalita ka na kasi nae-enjoy mo na ang ginagawa mo, sa umpisa lang na kinakabahan ka.

“Sabi niya lang sa akin enjoyin ko tapos ilagay ko ‘yung lahat-lahat dun sa show,” Juday shared. “Kasi alam niya na ‘pag may mga hino-host kami. Ito kasi hindi ka rin puwedeng magkamali ng spiels kasi mga bata ang pinapaliwanagan mo, so it’s really different.” But despite the pressure, the actress is keeping her fingers crossed that she succeeds in her latest venture.

On a more personal note, the actress also shared that she and Ryan recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary with a simple celebration. “We had a thanksgiving mass sa bahay. And then we invited friends over to have a couple of drinks. Tapos may mga performers din kaming inantay,” she related. “It’s very casual invitation lang na kung sino din ‘yung mga nasa wedding noon in-invite din namin sila. Umabot na naman kami ng isang taon. Sabi nga ni Ryan, o paisa-isang taon lang muna ah, walang mahabaang promise. Let’s take it by year,” she said with a laugh.

Currently starring in another successful television series 100 Days to Heaven, child actress Xyriel Manabat has proven her acting prowess after being part of popular teleseryes like Momay and Agua Bendita. During a recent chat with Push.com.ph, the seven-year-old Star Circle Kid Quest alumna admitted whom she idolizes the most in showbiz when it comes to acting. “Idol ko po si Ate Judy Ann. Kasi magaling siya umarte. Na-meet ko siya dati sa Your Song. Dati ko na kasi siya napapanuod kasi meron ako sa iPod ko na kopya nung pelikula nya na Hating Kapatid tapos napanuod ko rin siya sa Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo. Nakakatawa rin po siya doon. Paglaki ko gusto ko maging kasing galing ni Ate Judy Ann sa pag-arte,” she shared with Push.com.ph.

Xyriel also admitted that just like her Ate Juday, she wants to become a versatile actress that is willing to try a wide range of roles from drama to comedy to action. Xyriel said she hopes that she will one day be given the opportunity to do a project with her idol. “Gustong-gusto ko siyang pnapanuod. Gusto ko rin siya makatrabaho sa isang movie or teleserye na comedy. Kasi para magtatawanan lang kami lagi at masaya,” she said. When it comes to male actors, Xyriel said she looks up to Enchong Dee, who is also her celebrity crush. “Hindi ko pa siya nakakausap pero nakikita ko siya sa ASAP kapag nag-A-ASAP po ako. Crush ko siya eh,” she shyly admitted.

Xyriel also said she and the cast of 100 Days to Heaven have a good relationship with each other on and off the set. “Close naman po ako sa kanilang lahat.  Mabait po si Tita Coney Reyes. Nilalambing niya po ako. Lagi niya po akong pinadadalhan ng mga pagkain. Naghaharutan po kami. Tapos po si Luis Abuel masaya po siya kasama. Lagi kaming naglalaro pag magkasama kami. Enjoy po ako dun kasi para pong naglalaro lang kami sa set. Wala naman pong mahirap na pinapagawa sa amin,” she said.

When it comes to her peers, Xyriel is closest to another talented child actor Zaijian Jaranilla, whom she recently worked with on Star Cinema’s Pak Pak My Doctor Kwak! “Hindi ko po masyado nami-miss si Kuya Zaijian kasi lagi pa rin kaming nagkikita sa mga guestings po. Si Kuya Zaijian po yung pinaka-close ko at saka si Luis,” she explained.

Xyriel also admitted that aside from acting, she enjoys dancing whenever she gets to perform on ASAP on Sundays. “Ang pinakagusto ko gawin is yung sumayaw po ‘pag andun ako. Kasi yung sayaw hindi ko na kailangan magsalita,” she said. Even at a young age, this talented pint-sized artist says that she is not picky at all when it comes to work. “Kahit ano po basta may project magiging happy na po ako dun,” she said.

Judy Ann Santos, aprubado nga ba ang pagpasok sa showbiz ni Yohan?

Judy Ann Santos expands her hosting skills in preparation for Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition

Judy Ann Santos says she doesn't want to put unnecessary pressure on the kids who will join Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition. "Hindi naman yata talaga kami puwedeng magsalita ng mga harsh comments sa mga bata. Ayaw naman naming magsabi ng mga salitang didibdibin nila at maging cause ng angst nila sa buhay," she says with a laugh.

Bumisita si Judy Ann Santos sa pictorial ng tatlong judges ng Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition noong May 19.  Sinamahan siya ng kanyang ever supportive husband na si Ryan Agoncillo.

Ayon kay Juday, naniniwala siya na marami rin siyang matututunan mula sa tatlong judges na magiging part ng bagong reality cooking show ng ABS-CBN. Aniya, may mga techniques ang mga chefs na maaari rin niyang magamit upang ma-improve ang kanyang culinary skills. Ang mga makakasama niya ay sina Chef Fern Aracama, Chef Rolando Laudico at Chef JP Anglo.

WORKING WITH KIDS. Super excited na rin siyang makilala ang mga batang contestants ng Junior MasterChef.


"Pinapanood ko pa lang yung teasers nila, attached na ko sa kanila. Lalo na kung na-meet ko na sila personally.  Sa tingin ko magiging sobra din ang bonding ko sa mga bata.

"Gusto kong makita yung reaction nila kapag nakita nila yung Junior MasterChef  kitchen. Exciting yun para sa batang mahilig magluto. Working with kids is a great experience."


Kahit competition ang palabas, hindi naman kagustuhan ni Juday na ma-traumatize ang mga bata dahil sa pagsali nila sa reality cooking show na ito. "Hindi naman yata talaga kami puwedeng magsalita ng mga harsh comments sa mga bata. Ayaw naman naming magsabi ng mga salitang didibdibin nila at maging cause ng angst nila sa buhay."

Sa isang separate na interview with Juday, naikuwento niya na tinuturuan niya na magluto si Yohan, ang kanyang anak na babae. "Mahilig siyang magluto, nagku-cooking show pa siya sa bahay. Parang siya ang magiging chef paglaki."

BEING CAREFUL ABOUT HOSTING. Ito ang unang pagkakataong magho-host siya ng isang reality show kaya naman umamin si Juday na sobra-sobra ang kayang ginagawang paghahanda.
"Siyempre excited ako pero mas yung kaba kasi ngayon lang ako magho-host ng reality show, lalo na mga kids pa yung contestants. Kailangan doble ingat."

"Una yung pagpapapayat. Pangalawa, humihingi ako ng tips kay Ryan, ng tips sa pagho-hosting. Ang sabi lang niya sa akin, go with the flow. Ang mga bata naman talaga ang magdadala ng show. Andito lang kami to assist them. This is their show."

"Tapos nanonood ako ng Junior MasterChef Australia kasi wala talaga akong alam sa hosting.

"Bagong field siya sa akin kaya kailangan kong aralin dahil ayaw kong mapahiya. Ayaw kong masayang ang show dahil sa kakulangan ko ng hosting abilities. I'm working for it.

"I need a lot of confidence to do this show kasi hindi ka puwedeng magsabi ng 'Cut! Cut! Cut!' kasi reality show siya, e. It's not like taping a teleserye na puwede kang magpahinga. Hindi siya ganun. It's all about the kids. I'm preparing myself para sa mga bata.

"For now, I just really want to have fun. Ayaw kong i-push ang sarili ko. Relax lang. One step at a time," sabi pa ng actress turned TV host.

Pure gold convention....(Milkita)

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo at Boy Abunda nagsanib-puwersa!

MANILA, Philippines - Si Boy Abunda ang bagong kapanatag ng Lactum. Alam nating lahat kung gaano ang devotion at pagmamahal niya sa kanyang ina. “Kaya malapit sa puso ko ang mga kagaya kong nagpapahalaga rin sa mga sacrifices at devotion of moms,” sabi ni Boy. “Kaya noon pa man, malapit na sa puso ko ang Lactum. Dahil over the years ay naging katuwang ng mga mommies ang Lactum 3+ and 6+ to help them give their 100% best to their children.”
Nakikiisa ang TV host-talent manager sa Lactum na sa pagpili sa gatas sa inyong anak ang pangu­nahing batayan ay kung tumutulong itong magbigay ng tama at kumpletong nutrisyon.
“And no less than 100 per cent nourishment na batay sa Food Pyramid ang isinusulong ng Lactum noon pa man,” sabi ni Boy.
Sa pinakabagong commercial ng Lactum 3+ at 6+, nagsanib-pu­wersa sina Boy at Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo – dalawa sa mga pinakamalalaki at pinagka­ka­tiwalaang pangalan sa industriya upang linawin ang tunay na batayan sa pagpili ng gatas. Sinuri nila ang umuugong na usap-usapan – ano nga ba ang tunay na nagpapasulit sa gatas?
“Mahalagang ma-explain ang usaping ito. Lalo na sa panahon ngayon, hindi basta pagtitipid ang kailangang gawin ng mga moms,” sabi ni Boy. “May mga bagay na hindi basta-basta tinitipid o hindi dapat tipirin kailanman – gaya ng nutrisyon ng inyong mga anak. That’s why when it comes to milk, sulit dapat ang parating hahanapin ng mga mommy.”
“Pero sabi ng iba, para makasulit, sugar daw ang dapat tutukan? May iba kasi na nagsasabing, sugar daw ang nagpapasulit sa gatas. Less sugar sabi nila ang kailangang maging batayan sa pagpili ng gatas — mas konti ang sugar, mas sulit at mas mabuti para sa ating mga anak,” sabi naman ni Juday.
“Kung susuriin ang sugar levels ng Lactum, pasok na pasok ang added sugar ng Lactum 3+, 6+ sa local and international standards!” singit ni Boy at iginiit na may savings na hanggang P92 pa.
Kaya naman para sa dalawa, Lactum ang mas affordable na milk.

“Sa akin na po nanggagaling mga mommy, ang Lactum, ’yan ang totoong sulit,” diin pa ni Juday.

May bagong kapanatag ang Lactum. Walang iba kundi si Boy Abunda. Alam nating lahat kung gaano ang devotion at pagmamahal nya sa kanyang ina. “Kaya malapit sa puso ko ang mga kagaya kong nagpapahalaga rin sa mga sacrifices at devotion of moms”, sabi ni Boy. “Kaya noon pa man, malapit na sa puso ko ang Lactum. Dahil over the years ay naging masugod na katuwang ng mga mommies ang Lactum 3+ and 6+ to help them give their 100% best to their children.” binigyang diin ni Boy,  ang pinakabagong kapamilya ng Lactum, at kapanatag ng mga mommies.

“Nakikiisa ako sa Lactum na sa pagpili sa gatas ng inyong anak, ang pangunahing batayan  ay kung tumutulong ito magbigay ng  tama at kumpletong nutrisyon . And no less than 100% nourishment na batay sa Food Pyramid ang isinusulong ng Lactum noon pa man” paliwanang pa nya.

Sa pinakabagong commercial ng Lactum 3+ and 6+, nagsanib pwersa sina Boy Abunda at Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo – dalawa sa mga pinakamalalaki at pinagkakatiwalang pangalan sa industriya upang linawin ang tunay na batayan sa pagpili ng gatas. Sinuri nila ang umuugong na usap-usapan – ano nga ba ang tunay na nagpapasulit sa gatas. “Mahalagang maexplain sa inyong mga mommies ang usaping ito. Lalo na’t sa panahon ngayon, hindi basta pagtitipid ang kailangang gawin ng mga mommy.”, ani Boy “Especially because there are things that you can’t compromise on. May mga bagay na hindi basta basta tinitipid o na hindi dapat tipirin kailanman – gaya ng nutrisyon ng inyong mga anak. That’s why when it comes to milk, sulit dapat ang parating hahanapin ng mga mommy”, paliwanag ni Boy.

“Pero sabi ng iba, para makasulit, sugar daw ang dapat tutukan?” tanong ni Juday; “May iba kasi na nagsasabing, sugar daw ang nagpapasulit sa gatas. Less sugar sabi nila ang kailangang maging batayan sa pagpili ng gatas- mas konti ang sugar, mas sulit at mas mabuti para sa ating mga anak?” tanong pa ni Juday. 

“Kung susuriin ang sugar levels ng Lactum, pasok na pasok ang added sugar ng Lactum 3+, 6+ sa local and international standards!” paliwanag ni Boy matapos suriin ang Lactum 3+ and 6+ at ang mga batayan sa daily added sugar. “If we’ll break it down into details, madali naman nating makikita – 9 grams of sugar per serving lang ang mayron sa Lactum 6+! At, kung titingnan naman natin ang local and international standards, ang Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation 1 – 40 grams; FNRI 2 – 25 grams; at ang Institute of Medicine3 – hanggang 100 grams ang nirerecommend na limit per day from total diet.”

“Ganun din ang istorya, even if you look at Lactum 3+.” sunod na kinuwento ni Boy. “Let’s break down the details again – ang Lactum 3+ has only 8.5 grams of sugar per serving. At kung titingnan ang local and international standards para sa 3+, ang Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation 1 – 35 grams; FNRI 2 – 25 grams; at ang Institute of Medicine 3 – hanggang 88 grams and nirerecommend per day.”

“Talagang walang duda. Pasok na pasok ang added sugar ng Lactum 3+ 6+ at mga variants nito”.

“Pero ang nutrisyon hindi nagtatapos sa less sugar lang”, binigyang din ni Boy, sabay sa pagbibigay diin na ang sugar ay isang bahagi lang ng mahalagang kabuuan. “Yan ang 100% Nourishment na batay sa Food Pyramid – at yan ang unang batayan sa pagpili ng gatas.” Dagdag naman ni Juday. “Hindi nagtatapos ang nutrisyon sa sugar. Pinakamahalagang suriin nating mga mommy ay kung nakapagbibigay ba ng tamang nutrisyon ang gatas na ipinapainom natin sa ating mga anak.” At ito ang isinusulong ng Lactum 3+ and 6+ – ang pagbibigay ng 100% Nourishment na batay sa Food Pyramid, kasama ang 3 balanced meals.

Noon pa man, naiintindihan na ng Lactum ang hirap sa pagpapakain ng mga ina – mula sa mga batang may mga favorite foods o walang atensyon sa pagakain, hanggang sa mga batang busy na sa iba’t ibang activities. Despite these, katuwang ng mga ina ang Lactum 3+ and 6+ sa pagbibigay ng 100% Nourishment kasama ang 3 balanced meals  dahil meron itong mga essential nutrients from the food groups found in the the Food Pyramid. “Mapapanatag talaga ang mga ina na completely nourished ang kanilang mga anak, anomang hirap sa pagpapakain ang kanilang harapin. Like si Yohan, kahit favorite niya ang cheesedog, panatag ako na 100% Nourished Kid siya, sa tulong ng Lactum 3+ and 6+”, pagbabahagi ni Juday.   

“Pero, bukod sa pagbibigay ng 100% nourishment with 3 balanced meals, may iba pang handog ang Lactum”, anunsyo ni Juday. “Dahil Lactum ang totoong katuwang ng mga ina, at kaya naman talaga ako panatag sa Lactum ay dahil habang nagtataasan ang presyo ng mga bilihin, biruin mong nagbaba pa sila ng presyo! Paano mo ba naman matatawaran ang savings na hanggang 92 pesos? Kaya naman Lactum 3+ang mas affordable na 3+ milk!”, natutuwang ibinahagi ni Juday.

“Sa akin na po nanggagaling mga mommy, ang Lactum, yan ang totoong sulit”, binigyang diin ni Boy. “Pasok na pasok na sa standards ang sugar, abot kaya pa ang 100% Nourishment. Dito ako panatag. I completely trust Lactum – 100%.  But at the end of the day, we must not lose sight of what is really most important to us. And for you moms, what is paramount is the nutrition of your kids. Ipagkakatiwala mo ba ang nutrisyon ng inyong mga anak sa less sugar lang? Dapat complete nourishment ang unang criterion mga mommy. 100% Nourishment with 3 balanced meals a day na ibinibigay ng Lactum 3+ and 6+”.

Gaya ni Boy, si Juday talagang panatag rin sa Lactum 3+ and 6+, “Pano kang hindi mapapanatag sa Lactum? Yan ang totoong sulit!” sabi ni Juday. “At sana po ay samahan ninyo ako, sa pagsulong ng 100% Nourishment sa inyong mga anak, sa bawat tahanan. At kagaya ko, sana kayo rin, magiging 100% panatag sa Lactum”.

Juday shifts focus to motherhood

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Manila Bulletin 

SOURCE:http://manila-bulletin.net/blog/2011/05/24/juday-shifts-focus-to-motherhood/

MANILA, Philippines — While she may be ready to tackle heavy dramatic roles, Judy Ann Santos appears to be still focusing her full attention to a more significant role, that of being a mother to her son, Lucho, and daughter Yohan, a girl she adopted earlier before she gave birth to her son barely a year old.
“It seems that I cannot ‘wean’ myself yet from him, not even for a few seconds!”
That’s a real mother speaking! Nothing gives much more joy or happiness to a mother than her baby child.
Since her movie (no title yet) is scheduled for filming yet next year, Judy Ann has all the time to attend fully to her baby son and her young adopted daughter. She is however preparing for a cooking TV show entitled “Junior Chef” and has been doing a lot of “commercial shoots.”
As a cooking Mom, she made an experiment by cooking two separate “chicken adobo.” In the first adobo, she sprinkled it with Del Monte pineapple tidbits or chunks, while she did not mix any pineapple ingredients to the second chicken adobo.
When the two chicken adobos were served, Yohan and the other kids preferred the chicken adobo with Del Monte pineapple tidbits or chunks.
Judy Ann is indeed a “woman of substance,” or in our Tagalog parlance, “Panatag na Ina.”

Judy Ann Santos says she is still in talks about her showbiz comeback

5/22/2011 12:57 AM

by: Napoleon Quintos

Judy Ann Santos and husband Ryan Agoncillo visited the photo shoot of the judges of the upcoming ABS-CBN reality show Junior MasterChef last May 19. Judy Ann will serve as the new host of the Philippine version of the popular reality show while the judges will be renowned chefs Fern Aracama, Rolando Laudico, and JP Anglo. “Galing din kami sa meeting. Ang sabi sa amin nandito nga sila chef for the pictorial kaya dumaan kami. Gusto ko rin sila makita para extra bonding na rin with sina chef. Dumaan lang si Ryan sa conference namin after ng work niya. Since wala pa siyang ibang call time nagpasama muna ako ngayon,” Judy Ann told Push.com.ph and other reporters following the shoot.

Judy Ann admitted that she is very much excited about hosting JMC since she knows she’ll be learning lots of new things from the chef judges. “Feeling ko mas marami pa akong matututunan kaysa sa mga bata. Kaya sobrang excited na ako kasi parang magaaral ako uli. Bawat chef kasi may kanya-kanyang technique.” JMC is a show where children compete to see who has the makings of a future chef. ABS-CBN has acquired the rights to make a Pinoy version of this show through the same team behind Pinoy Big Brother.

The young superstar and her TV host husband are now parents to two children, Yohan and Lucho. Judy Ann shared that her being a mother might help her guide the kids amidst the pressure brought about by the competition in JMC. “Parang mother nga yata talaga ang magiging role ko, ha ha ha! Hindi naman yata talaga kami pwedeng magsalita ng mga harsh comments sa mga bata. Ayaw naman naming magsabi ng mga salitang didibdibin nila at maging cause ng angst nila sa buhay, ha ha ha! We’re here to let the kids have a great time. We don’t want them to feel pressured.”

Judy Ann had spent most of her life working in showbiz, starting out as a child star, until she got married to Ryan in 2009 and became pregnant with Lucho last year. From the time she got pregnant until now, the actress has taken a break from work to devote her time to her new family, particularly to Lucho who was born last October.

Many of her fans are very anxious to see her return to work, but Judy Ann said her comeback is still dependent on her discussion with ABS-CBN. “Sa ngayon itong Junior Master Chef lang muna ang gagawin ko. Mahaba rin kasi ang tatakbuhin nitong JMC. We’ll see kung may iba pang darating na projects. Kung may offer naman na maganda, bakit hindi? Pero for now ito lang muna kasi magaan lang.”

Judy Ann added that she is very much open to be doing another teleserye. Her last was Habang May Buhay opposite Derek Ramsay. She said she knows fans will always want to see her act on television, but she is still waiting for the right story concept, hence she can’t give a definite date as to when she’ll do a teleserye again. “May mga tanong din sa akin about teleserye. Pero hindi pa agad agad kasi naghahanap pa ng magandang story, kung sino ‘yung makakasama. Siguro next year. We’ll see na lang. Hindi pa ako makabigay ng definite answer. Baka mamaya niyan magbigay ako ng sagot tapos hindi naman matutuloy. Kapag nandiyan na, magkwentuhan uli tayo, ha ha ha!”

That ‘baon’ box Judy Ann endorses? It’s proudly Korean-made...

A good part of that surge in popularity is due to movie star Judy Ann Santos, who endorses Lock&Lock in the Philippines. With her recent marriage to fellow celebrity Ryan Agoncillo, Santos has become a mom-homemaker herself, and thus a bona-fide member of Lock&Lock’s natural constituency.

The most basic items in the Lock&Lock portfolio, after all, are rooted in the home—specifically the needs of Korean kitchens. A typical Korean meal requires quite a number of side dishes and condiments, and so were born the airtight, stackable, ready-from-ref-to-table food containers in various shapes and sizes. Also, to accommodate traditional Korean fermenting practices for making kimchi, the company developed containers with open vents on top.

And, for mobile urban dwellers, it created the “Living Box”—lightweight storage boxes made of fabric and steel lining, in trendy colors, with a convenient twist: a transparent strip in front that allows one to check the box’s contents at a glance, without having to unzip the top flap. The “Living Box” is now among the company’s top-selling items in Korea.

Ang Diet ni Judy Ann Santos

Judy Ann Santos wants daughter Yohan to enjoy her childhood This celeb mom encourages her children to play outdoor games.

By Belle Yambao
May 20, 2011
Actress Judy Ann Santos might be busy preparing for her stint as the host of upcoming TV series Junior MasterChef, but that doesn’t mean she’s not focusing her attention on her family. In fact, PEP.ph reports that Judy Ann is happy with her role as a mother to her children, Yohan and baby Lucho.
A normal day for the star includes cooking husband Ryan Agoncillo’s baon for the day and bonding with the kids before going off to work herself. “Tapos balik ako agad to make sure na hopefully gising pa sila na maabutan ko. Bilang nanay, ganun ka pala, 'no? Eager kang umuwi kasi gusto mong maabutan yung mga bata (Then I go home quickly to check if they’re still awake. So this is how it is when you’re a mom. You’re eager to go home to catch the kids while they’re awake),” she is quoted as saying on PEP.ph.
The doting mother reveals it’s hard to talk about whether or not she’d like her daughter, Yohan, to be in showbiz, explaining that young actors nowadays have to grow up really quickly. A child star herself, Judy Ann says that if she could go back in time, she would definitely want to experience a normal childhood.
“So, yun ang gusto naming ma-experience niya. Gusto ko masubukan niyang maglaro sa labas. Hindi siya masyadong nag-a-iPod, hindi siya masyadong nagko-computer always. Pinagpu-football namin siya ngayon kasi gusto niya yung football. Gusto namin siyang turuan ng patintero, tumbang preso, taguan, kasi dun kami ni Ryan lumaki (So that’s what we want her to experience. I want her to try playing outdoors. She won’t use her iPod and her computer all the time. We let her play football because she likes it. We want to teach per patintero, tumbang preso, and hide-and-seek because those are the games Ryan and I grew up with),” she explains on PEP.ph.

Ryan, natawa sa sex video

ALFIE LORENZO
MAY 20, 2011 FRIDAY



Gosh, may sex video pala sina Ryan Agoncillo at Daiana Menezes?

Sayang! Wala akong kopya! Hindi yata napirata?
Last year pa ‘yang ba*litang ‘yan. Pinagtawanan lang ni Ryan ‘yan.
Nga*yon, iniisyu naman uli kay Daiana kaya nainis na ang babae at
ewan kung ano ang gagawin.
Kung may gagawin man si Ryan ay walang mai*lilihim sa akin -- aminin
man ni Ryan o hindi -- dahil may sarili akong mga mata, may
maliwanag na pag-iisip at matinik na konklusyon!

No such video o sexual relationship with *others will exist. Not this
early in the day na Juday and Ryan are still savoring the sweetness
of their relationship na nabuo mula sa puso, unlike sa ibang love
stories na nabuo sa mga pahina lang ng mga babasahin!

Ibang klase ang kina Juday at Ryan. It comes from the heart talaga
and deep within!

Pagsasamang ‘di ka*yang buwagin ng mga tsismis, eskandalo at kung
anu-anong mga pala-*palagay! Sori na lang for those wishing
otherwise!

Juday, ‘di pinupuwersa ni Ryan na magpaseksi!

Mula sa 12 pounds ay umaabot na raw sa 15 pounds ang nababawas sa timbang ni Judy Ann Santos. Sabi nga ni Juday, dinadaan niya sa tamang diet ang pagpapayat, at hindi niya binibigla ang sarili niya. Ayaw raw niyang isabak ang katawan niya sa gym dahil baka mas mahirapan siya. Piling-pili nga ang diet niya. Pork lang daw ang hindi niya kinakain. “Binabase ko kasi sa blood type ko ang diet ko. ‘Yun ang sabi ng doctor ko. It’s very effective kasi compatible ang diet mo sa katawan mo kaya mabilis ang effect,” sey ni Juday. Kitang-kita nga sa bagong katawan ni Juday na malaki na ang pinayat niya kumpara sa huling pagharap niya sa press na nasa katawan pa niya ang nakuha niyang baby weight. “Paunti-unti. Ayokong biglain kasi baka hindi healthy tingnan. Hindi naman ako nagmamadaling magpapapayat, eh. It’s better na I take it slow para sure. “Hindi rin naman ako minamadali ng mister ko. Sabi nga ni Ryan (Agoncillo) na I should take my time. Ayaw rin niyang ma-stress ako sa pagpapapayat. Kasi nga hands-on ako sa mga bata. Gusto niya na habang nagpapapayat ako, happy ako at parang wala lang, walang stress,” ngiti pa ni Juday

"Parang sa akin, sa opinyon ko, ang mga batang artista ngayon from [ages] 8 to 10, hindi na dumadaan ng 10 to 12. Gruma-graduate na sila ng 10 to 12, tapos 16 na agad yung utak nila magbihis, makisama, makipag-usap. I don't want our daughter to go through to that," says Judy Ann Santos.

Sa pictorial ni Judy Ann Santos para sa bago niyang show sa ABS-CBN, ang Junior MasterChef, nakausap siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) tungkol sa iba't ibang bagay na may kaugnayan sa kanyang pagiging ina.

Paano ba ang pakiramdam ng isang ganap nang ina?

"Masaya, very fulfilling," sambit niya.

"Masaya ang pakiramdam na nagigising ka sa bawat araw.

"Ako, ang typical day ko, magigising ako ng umaga, papasok ako ng kuwarto ng anak ko, I'll check on them if they're already awake. Kaunting laro kay Lucho.

"Then magluluto na ako ng baon ni Ryan para sa shows niya o kung may taping siya that day.

"Kung halimbawang may trabaho sa araw na yun, bonding muna with the kids.

"Alis na muna sa trabaho, tapos balik ako agad to make sure na hopefully gising pa sila na maabutan ko.

"Bilang nanay, ganun ka pala, 'no? Eager kang umuwi kasi gusto mong maabutan yung mga bata.

"O, kung manonood ka ng sine, always last full show kasi dapat tulog muna yung mga bata.

"Pag manonood ka ng sine, parang hindi ako mapakali kasi parang naiisip ko sila."

MOTHER'S DAY. Tanong ng PEP, kumusta naman ang naging selebrasyon nila noong nakaraang Mother's Day, May 8?

Ayon kay Juday/Judai, "Nung Mother's Day, hindi kami lumabas ng bahay kasi bumabagyo.

"Nasa Alabang kami. Nag-lunch na lang kami nina Mommy [Carol Santos] sa bahay [namin] after watching Pacquiao."

Ang tinutukoy ni Juday ay ang May 8 na laban ni Manny Pacquiao sa U.S. kontra kay Shane Mosley, na pinagwagian ng Filipino boxer at Sarangani representative.

Patuloy na kuwento niya, "Nag-lunch kami kasama ang mommy ko, ate ko, sister-in-law ni Ryan, at mommy ni Rye.

"Kasi pag nasa restaurant kami, parang kulang na lang singilin ako ng restaurant sa nasisira ng mga bata.

"Sabi ko, dito na lang tayo sa bahay. Kung may masisira man kami, maglinis na lang."

Ayon pa sa aktres, "Ang kaibihan lang ngayon, naiintindihan ko na yung card ni Yohan.

"Kasi dati, hindi ko naiintindihan kasi nag-i-scribble lang siya.

"Pero ngayon may mga words na, mayroon ng magandang note kay Mommy.

"Nakakatuwa. Tapos pag tinitingnan ko yung mga anak ko, nanay na ako!"

Ano naman ang regalo sa kanya ni Ryan noong Mother's Day?

"We normally give gifts to each other kahit walang mga okasyon, so yung mga ganung bagay...

"Basta ang importante, pag may mga okasyon na ganyan, magkakasama lang kami, okay na yun."

YOHAN & LUCHO. Kinumusta rin ng PEP kay Judy Ann ang kanyang mga anak na sina Lucho at Yohan.

"Seven [months] na siya nung Friday," banggit ng aktres tungkol sa kanyang bunsong anak na lalaki at unang biological child.

"Siyempre anak ko, sasabihin ko napakaguwapo. Maputi, hating-hati...

"Pag tinitingnan ko nga yung pictures niya nung bagong panganak siya, sobrang ibang-iba ang hitsura niya ngayon.

"Kasi nung ipinanganak siya, sabi ko, 'Bakit mukhang tarsier ang anak ko?'

"Pero kasi, ang cute-cute niya, ang laki-laki ng mata!

"Tapos sabi ko nga kay Ryan, 'Love, nakyu-kyutan ba tayo sa anak natin dahil anak natin siya?' Pero cute talaga siya, e.

"Ngayon, ilong at lips, kuha sa akin, tapos pataas kay Ryan.

"Napaka-steady na bata, happy lang siya, tawa lang nang tawa.

"Iiyak lang pag gutom or inaantok. Ang bait, sobrang bait.

"Nagku-crawl na siya, malikot na siya."

Pagpapatuloy ni Juday, "Si Yohan naman, mahilig magsalitang mag-isa 'yan sa camera.

"Siguro kasi napapanood niya ang mga shows na nakikita niya yung host, kaya ginagaya niya.

"Natatakot ako, hindi ko alam kung saan siya patungo!" Sabay tawa ng artistang tanging tinatawag na superstar besides Nora Aunor.
Dagdag nito, "Nae-enjoy na niya masyado ang TV. She loves seeing herself on television, she loves to entertain."

Wala na bang selos sa parte ni Yohan, na inamin dati ni Ryan ay naging problema nila bago ipanganak si Lucho?

"Siyempre, mayroong selos," prangkang sagot ni Judy Ann.

"Hindi naman yata mawawala sa panganay yun, lalo na kapag may kapatid na lalabas, di ba?

"Mayroon, pero tina-try naman naming i-explain sa kanya na, 'It doesn't mean na kapag may bagong baby, hindi na ikaw yung baby.'

"Sinasabi namin na, 'Magiging baby ka namin hanggang thirty-five ka na!'"

IN THE LIMELIGHT. Laging sinasabi ni Ryan dati na si Juday ang tanungin kung papayagan niyang gumawa rin ng commercial si Lucho o mag-aartista si Yohan.

Dahil daw, si Juday bata pa lang ay sumabak na sa pag-aartista.

So, papayagan ba niyang gumawa ng commercial si Lucho, o pumasok sa showbiz si Yohan?

Sagot ng dating child star, "Ang hirap kasing magsalita kung ang panahon noon ay panahon ngayon na napakasarap mag-artista.

"Kapag bata ka kasi, walang expectations yung mga manonood, tapos hindi ka napi-pressure magdalaga.

"Parang sa akin, sa opinyon ko, ang mga batang artista ngayon from 8 to 10, hindi na dumadaan ng 10 to 12.

"Gruma-graduate na sila ng 10 to 12, tapos 16 na agad yung utak nila magbihis, makisama, makipag-usap.

"I don't want our daughter to go through that.

"Gusto ko ma-enjoy niya talaga ang childhood niya kasi hindi na niya mae-enjoy yung childhood niya.

"Ako lang, kung mababalikan ko lang yung pagbata, binalikan ko na. Kaya lang, hindi talaga.

"So, yun ang gusto naming ma-experience niya.

"Gusto ko masubukan niyang maglaro sa labas. Hindi siya masyadong nag-a-iPod, hindi siya masyadong nagko-computer always.

"Pinagpu-football namin siya ngayon kasi gusto niya yung football.

"Gusto namin siyang turuan ng patintero, tumbang preso, taguan, kasi dun kami ni Ryan lumaki.

"Ayaw namin siyang maging bum na nandun lang sa harap ng computer, pumapapak ng tsitsirya.

"Gusto namin active siya."

Dagdag ng 33-year-old actress, "Regarding Baby Lucho, basta okay ang produkto, basta ginagamit at hindi magkakaproblema sa bata, bakit hindi?

"Deserve naman ng mga tao na makita ang baby namin kasi nasa harapan nila ako for how many years.

"Tina-try ko lang i-explain na hindi lang agad-agad.

"Siguro pag nanay ka... May ibang nanay na gustong i-share agad ang anak nila.

"Ako, siguro, kilala rin naman ako ng mga tao na hindi ako agad-agad, gusto ko ako lang muna.

"Gusto ko makita ko muna siya na nade-develop.

"In time, siyempre ilalabas din namin siya.

"Hindi naman puwedeng hindi kasi masyado naman kaming sasabihang selfish ng mga tao."

Open book ang pagiging adopted ni Yohan. Bagay na, ayon sa aktres, ay hindi naman niya itinago kay Yohan kahit kailan.

"What's nice about Yohan," sabi ni Judy Ann, "she knows naman from the start.

"Every time she asks question, we answer her in the most proper way.

"Ine-explain namin sa kanya nang maayos na, 'You didn't come from Mama's tummy.

"But you know what, God is really good because when we prayed, He gave you to us.

"So you come from Mommy and Daddy's heart.

"So when people ask you kung saan ka galing, you come from Mommy's heart.' Ginaganun namin siya.

"Nagtatanong pa rin siya, 'Who's my Mommy? Do you know my Mommy?' May mga ganun siya.

"Siyempre sa akin, 'Hay, paano ko ba ito sasagutin? Paano mo ba ie-explain sa batang six years old kung saan siya nanggaling?'

"Mas mabuting sa amin na manggaling kung saan ang pinagmulan niya kaysa sa ibang tao ang magsabi sa kanya, na baka yung way na pagsabi sa kanya ay hindi maganda.

"Baka magrebelde yung bata o iba yung intindi niya, hindi namin siya ma-shelter sa ano pang puwedeng mangyari.

"So as much as possible, we are very honest to Yohan sa bahay, hindi yung mga lies-lies na ganyan.

"Yun ang upbringing namin sa kanya," saad ni Juday.

Judy Ann Santos shares how she lost 12 pounds in less than a month on her new diet

by: Rhea Manila Santos

Currently preparing for the launch of her new Kapamilya show Junior MasterChef Philippines, Judy Ann Santos revealed that she is losing her post-pregnancy weight with the help of the Cohen diet. During her launch as the newest endorser of Del Monte Pineapple last April 30, the 32-year-old actress admitted that the new diet, which she was trying for the first time, has already helped her lose as much as 12 pounds within the first three weeks of being on the diet. According to the Cohen’s lifestyle clinic official website, the diet is an individually-tailored program based specifically on blood test results that helps its participants rapidly lose weight in a safe and healthy way. Juday had previously admitted she would be going on a diet, but did not immediately disclose other details. Now, she is more open about how she is losing weight. “Diet ako talaga. Nag-ko-Cohen diet ako ngayon. It’s a diet na based on your blood type and its really working for me. Alam mo, yung cost niya it’s not that bad because yung babayaran mo lang naman is for the whole six months of the program already,” she said.

Juday said she is still allowed to eat a wide variety of food with some restrictions. “For me, I can’t eat pork. Some fishes lang, hindi ako puwede ng salmon, sea bass. ‘Pag sa poultry, chicken and turkey lang. I eat the breast part. ‘Pag sa meat, veal and steak lang. May mga choices at list of vegetables na puwede rin ako but it’s not like South Beach [diet] na hindi ka na puwede ng fruits. So allowed ako ng mga two fruits a day. Tapos five crackers a day. And I’m allowed to have three sodas a day. So it’s really not that bad,” she explained.

After giving birth to baby Lucho last year, Juday said she took the opportunity to really enjoy different kinds of food after years of being on a constant diet. “When I got pregnant, I was 116 or 120 pounds. When I gave birth, I ballooned to 161. Nag-breastfeed pa ako. Parang feeling ko buong buhay ko naman nagpapapayat ako ‘di ba? Eh nanaganak naman ako so ibibigay ko na ito sa sarili ko. At saka ang sarap kumain eh. Puwede ko bang ikaila sa sarili ko yun? So nung na-enjoy ko na yung pagkain, pinadaan ko muna ang Christmas, pinadaan ko muna ang New Year nung nanganak ako. nung dumaan ang New Year, sabi ko padadaanin ko muna ang Valentines day. Ng dumaan ang Valentines day, sabi ko hindi ko na paaabutin ang holy week. Bago nag-Holy week, nag-start na ako mag-diet kasi mahabang proseso din bago ako makapag-simula ng Cohen eh. Pero after Valentines, nag-pa check na ako sa clinic ng Cohen. May one month pa bago ako nakapag-simula. So yung one month na yun, sabi ko e-enjoyin ko na kumain kasi ‘pag nag-Cohen na ako, goodbye sarap,” she said.

Despite her diet’s restrictions on certain food items, Juday said she does not feel that she is depriving herself of food unlike before. “This diet naman, it’s really up to you to make it work. Kailangan committed ka talaga 100%. Nung nag-start ako, siguro kung 100% committed ako, I could have lost a lot more weight. It’s just that nung first week ko, I was thinking, ‘Kaya ko ba? Oo sabi ko kaya ko tapos napansin ko nung meron na akong pasingit-singit na kinakain na iba, naku naku hindi pa pala ako masyadong handa (laughs)’,” she recalled.

The doting mother of two admitted that she and her husband Ryan Agoncillo are happy with the results so far. “Happy naman siya. Araw-araw niya akong nakikita kaya hindi niya napapansin pero nakikita rin naman niya na nakakapag-pantalon na ako, na may mga ganun na, na masarap ng magbihis. Nakakatuwa. Siyempre hindi naman puwedeng diet na lang. so meron din akong exercise. May Bar akong ginagawa, minsan tumatakbo ako sa village. At sa init ngayon umupo ka lang, pagpapawisan ka na eh,” she said.

Judy Ann Santos hosts 'Junior Master Chef'

By Ginger Conejero, ABS-CBN News

Posted at 05/09/2011 6:31 PM | Updated as of 05/09/2011 8:08 PM

MANILA, Philippines - Judy Ann Santos is whipping up something exciting and new as the host of the upcoming ABS-CBN show “Junior Master Chef.”
The award winning actress is taking a crack at hosting on television for the first time, which is a far cry from her usual roles as lead actress in teleseryes.
The veteran actress said she was nervous about her new assignment so she asked her husband, TV host Ryan Agoncillo, to give her a few pointers.
The couple recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary among close family and friends. The two are also looking forward to celebrating Juday's upcoming birthday on May 11.
Juday said her birthday celebration will be simple and private. She said she cannot ask for more in her roles as mother, wife and career woman.
When asked if she is open to having her children enter the industry, Juday still stays firm on postponing any such decision.
She said she would like her children to have a normal childhood as much as possible. She also feared that the pressures and intrigues in show business might take a toll on her kids.
She cited the recent rumor linking Juday's best friend, actress Beth Tamayo, to the recent execution of 3 convicted Filipino drug mules in China.
The actress defended her friend and asked the public to be careful when circulating such rumors.
Tamayo was recently suspected to be one of the 3 executed Filipinos as the actress has been away from the limelight.
Juday said Tamayo merely laughed off the rumors in recent conversations.
She assured the public that Tamayo is alive and well and has no plan to return to the country anytime soon.
Juday's “Junior Master Chef' is slated for its TV debut in upcoming months. She is also doing an upcoming movie with award winning actor Coco Martin before the end of the year.

Juday back on boob tube

ACTRESS Judy Ann Santos is set to make her television comeback, not in an acting project but in her first hosting gig.
The mother of two will host the newest cooking showdown on television "Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition."
The said show will be open to kids who are fond of cooking and sharing their culinary experiences even in young age.
According to Juday, she's a bit nervous of the project because she needs to host the show, which she will be doing for the first time.
"Excited ako na medyo nini-niyerbos ng konti kasi hosting naman siya eh, very different sa mga ginagawa ko. Unang una hosting job ko ito."
She added while she's more comfortable in acting, she's also embracing the new changes in her showbiz career and asks for her husband, Ryan Agoncillo's advice when it comes to this particular project.
"Hindi ko alam din kung hanggang saan yung kapasidad ko na umintindi sa mga spiels unlike si Ry (Ryan) na mahusay talaga siyang magsalita."
Aside from the newest show, Juday also confirmed that she already had talks with ABS-CBN management of her possible drama comeback on television.
"Nag-iisip pa kami ng magandang istorya kasi diba halos lahat naman ngayon eh remake. I want a story that’s refreshing na hindi pa talaga napapanood."
Juday added she's also not yet ready to give showbiz most of her attention because of her kids Lucho and Yohan.
"Hindi ko pa kaya na matagal na mahiwalay sa mga bagets and pag nag-star na ako ulit mag taping eh may mga restrictions na yan eh, yung time and location."
When asked if she's also working in new silver screen project, the drama actress revealed she's set to star opposite Coco Martin in a drama flick soon.

Judy Ann Santos admits she has many demands before she accepts her next TV acting project

5/12/2011 8:46 AM

by: Bernie Franco

After being away from showbiz for eight months to fulfill her domestic duties, Judy Ann Santos will soon return to the limelight via the reality-based cooking show for kids, Junior MasterChef Pinoy Edition. The Teleserye Queen, who also has a degree in Culinary Arts, said that she is excited but also nervous about the project because it will be her first-ever full-fledged hosting job.

Apart from the cooking show, Juday explained that it might take a while before she will return to acting. Since she concentrated on being a mom to Yohan and Lucho for many months, Juday said that she needs to be prepared with being away from her kids. “Nagre-ready pa ako hindi ko pa kaya matagal mahiwalay sa mga bagets ko kasi nasanay ako for eight months na sila lang nakikita ko, kami lang ang magkakasama,” Juday shared.

She revealed that she was already in talks with her home network regarding her acting comeback on TV. “May mga usapan pero nag-iisip pa rin kami ng magandang storya kasi parang lahat na rin ng ginagawa ngayon kung ‘di remake, kagaya sa ibang bansa or mag-ina na nahiwalay o magkapatid sa ending. I want a story that’s refreshing na hindi pa talaga napapanood ng ganong storya.”

She pointed out also that there will be adjustments in her working habits in favor of her duties as a wife and a mother. “Pag nag-start ka na uli mag-taping may mga restrictions ng time, location, kasi siguro… ako lang… maarte ako. Inaamin ko po maarte akong ina. Marami akong demands pagdating sa anak ko.” This is why she is grateful to ABS-CBN management because they are understanding about her demands. “What’s good with ABS-CBN is that they are more than willing to wait and they really respect my decision.”

She said that one good thing about her hosting stint is that it does not require too much of her time, unlike with an acting project. “Nami-miss kong umarte pero ‘di ko ata [makakayanang] malayo sa mga anak ko.” Judy Ann also said she needs to shed the extra pounds before she can return to acting.

She revealed though that she might do a movie this year with Coco Martin, which Judai said she can accommodate because the schedule won’t be as gruelling as with a teleserye.  “I think that’s enough for the whole year. Next year pag-uusapan ulit kung ano pwede pa magawa. ‘Pag bumalik na ako sa teleserye, dire-direto na ‘yan, so mahirap ‘pag wala ka do’n sa bahay.”

She also pointed out that she won't do sexy scenes. “Hindi na ata makikita ‘yan ako kasi ‘di ko pa nakikita eh, hinihintay ko pang dumating sa akin. Hindi ko na ata kaya,” she joked. Judy Ann's most daring role to date is 2004’s Sabel. “‘Yun na ‘yung ginawa ko. After non ‘di na uli ako nangahas. Nung pinanood ko kasi ‘yon, ‘Anong nangyari?! Anong ginagawa mo Juday?!’ Pero okay lang naka-Urian [Award as Best Actress] naman ako so bayad na bayad naman ang ginawa ko,” she recalled fondly.

For her birthday on May 11, Judy Ann and her family went on an out-of-town trip, which what they always do on her birthday. “’Pag birthday talagang naga-out-of-town talaga kami. One reason din para sa family to bond and to leave Manila for a short time. ‘Yung birthday ko tatapat siya ng ilang weeks na lang pasukan na naman [so] moment din namin kay Yohan (her daughter) ‘yon na ma-enjoy namin siya and si Ryan [para] makapagbakasyong ng konti sa trabaho niya kasi everyday ang trabaho niya.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. JUDY ANN SANTOS

10 Things We Love about Judy Ann Santos

May 11, 2011

As the Queen of Teleseryes celebrates her 33rd birthday today, FN shares a list of traits that make her one amazing woman. By Belle Yambao

Judy Ann Santos turns 33 today! Not only is this critically-acclaimed actress a winner in the heart of her husband, Ryan Agoncillo, and her children, Yohan and Lucho, but she’s wonderful in Female Network’s book too.

» 1.    SHE’S A PHENOMENAL ACTRESS. 
Judy Ann has been charming audiences since she was a teen, first capturing our hearts as the kind-hearted Mara in the teleserye Mara Clara. She has won over 10 Best Actress awards through the years. Ploning, her debut film as a producer for which she was also the lead actress, became the Philippines’s official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2009 Academy Awards.  

» 2.    SHE’S A GREAT MOM.

This super mom has two lovely kids: adopted daughter Yohan and baby Lucho, her son with husband Ryan Agoncillo. She starred with Yohan in a commercial for Lactum, and recently, she watched her daughter performing on national TV for the first time as she sang and danced for Ryan’s birthday special on Talentadong Pinoy.

» 3.    SHE’S A LOVING WIFE.
Ryan and Judy Ann first got to know each other on the set of fantaserye Krystala. Love blossomed between them, and they tied the knot four years later in a private wedding in Batangas. The two lovebirds have also starred alongside each other in two movies and a comedy series. Judy Ann recently showed her support for Ryan’s hosting skills by showing up as a judge on Talentadong Pinoy, her first TV appearance since she gave birth to Lucho last year.

» 4.    SHE’S A PHILANTHROPIST.

Judy Ann gives back and assists the marginalized through her very own Touch A Heart Foundation. Among its past beneficiaries are a community of Aetas in Bataan and a local hospital in Cuyo, Palawan, which was also where Ploning was shot.

» 5.    SHE’S A DEPENDABLE FRIEND.

When celebrity and close friend Gladys Reyes and her family were trapped in their home during typhoon Ondoy, it was Judy Ann and Ryan who came to their rescue. “Forever grateful ako sa kanila,”  Gladys is quoted as saying in an ABS-CBNNews.com report. Gladys and Judy Ann share the good times too--they kept each other company when they were both pregnant last year.

» 6.    SHE’S A WONDERFUL ATE.

While she might not be singer Sarah Geronimo’s biological sister, Judy Ann treats her like a member of the family. They became close during their stint together in the dramedy Hating Kapatid. Besides looking out for her off-screen, Judy Ann also has sisterly advice for Sarah: “Try to enjoy life kasi hindi na maibabalik kung ano yung edad niya ngayon, hindi naman maire-rewind 'yon, e. Na enjoy-in niya, namnamin niya yung buhay niya, ang pagiging bata. (Try to enjoy life since she’ll never be able to revisit this time; whatever age she is now, she won’t be able to do a rewind. She should enjoy things, savor her life, her youth.)”

(Photo courtesy of PEP.ph)

» 7.    SHE’S A NO-FRILLS TYPE OF GAL.

Judy Ann gamely showed her bare face and showcased her natural beauty in a shoot with Marie Claire. Photographer Mark Nicdao shares his experience shooting her. “Judy Ann is a fun girl so we were just chatting while shooting... it’s always a breeze working with her because she can be everything you want her to be in front of the camera—that’s why she’s a star.”

(Photo courtesy of PEP.ph)

» 8.    SHE LIVES LIFE WITH NO REGRETS.

Judy Ann makes sure that she lives her life to the fullest, and she has no regrets when it comes to the experiences she’s gotten from life. “It made me a better person, a stronger person,” she is quoted as saying on PEP.ph. “In fact, it made me love life more kasi normal akong tao, hindi ako yung extraordinary na hindi nasasaktan (because I’m a normal person. I’m not the extraordinary type who doesn’t get hurt).”

(Photo courtesy of PEP.ph)

» 9.    SHE’S BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT.

Judy Ann graced the cover of YES! Magazine’s first ever 100 Most Beautiful Stars special in 2007 and was also featured in the most recent list of stars in 2010. We think it’s not just because of her simple beauty and cheerful personality, but her dedication to achieving her goals—all without sacrificing her family and love life! She’s a superwoman in every sense of the word, and we love her for it.

10.    SHE ALWAYS MAKES FAMILY HER PRIORITY.

Judy Ann admits missing acting, but she’d rather take fewer projects to make time for her family. “I think I would have to wait for the right and perfect project para maiwan ko muna sandali yung mga anak ko. Kasi para sa akin, kailangan may mas matinding dahilan para hayaan ko yung mga bata sa bahay, e (for me to leave my kids even for a little while. I need a really good reason to leave my kids behind at home),” she is quoted as saying on PEP.ph.

Judy Ann turns mom icon!

by: Justin John Mata | STIR Contributor
4 May 2011 | 09:40 AM
Match Judy Ann Santos’ wholesome and high-achieving megastar with turning wife to Ryan Agoncillo and mom to Yohan and Baby Lucio Agoncillo and you get the mom icon!

Every mom’s topmost concern is to serve her family, specially her kids, delicious dishes that will whet their appetite to eat more.  However, moms also want to provide their family the proper nutrition they need for overall health. Judy Ann, known for her solid background in culinary, shares with us how Del Monte Pineapples can turn regular dishes to more delicious and nutritious dishes.

In most cases, to be assured that their kids eat, moms prepare food their kids like. However, kids like things that are not necessarily nutritious for them. Dealing with this reality, moms have to find ways on how to excite and delight their kids with delicious cooking without compromising nutrition as they would want to give their kids the best of both worlds.

Del Monte Pineapple helps moms prepare dishes that kids will surely like such as Adobo with Del Monte Pineapple which is preferred by 9 out of 10 kids versus the one without Del Monte Pineapples based on a blind taste test conducted. Judy Ann tested it herself by cooking for judges that are very hard to please – kids!  She tried the Chicken Adobo with Del Monte Pineapple recipe that is “piña-level up sa sarap at sustansiya.” As an avid cook and as a mom, she was very happy with the results because kids were excited to eat, asked for seconds and cleaned up their plates. She considers this a major achievement to see kids eating heartily. Judy Ann says that she finds it more challenging to cook for kids than for her instructors in her culinary school because despite all the techniques you learn, “Kahit pa chef ka, hindi madaling mahuli ang taste ng mga bata.”

Aside from the delicious taste, nutrient analysis shows that Adobo with Del Monte Pineapples has 5 times more fiber that kids’ daily diet typically does not have enough of. This is because Del Monte Pineapples are natural multivitamins. Aside from Fiber it also contains Vitamin C, Manganese and Phytonutrients from nature that help increase the body’s overall health and immunity. Del Monte Pineapples are picked and packed on the same day to lock in important nutrients. The good news is, there are a lot of favorite dishes that can be “Piña-Level Up!” There are recipes for Pork Humba, Pancit, Guisado and a lot more where you can add Del Monte Pineapple to add zest and nutrients to your favorite dishes. Visit www.kitchenomics.com for recipes.

Judy Ann knows her food and the ingredients that go well with it. She is very health conscious, which is why according to her, “ As a mother and an avid cook, it is very important for me to give my family, most specially my kids, the proper nutrition by serving them delicious and nutritious meals. Therefore, I’m always looking for new delicious and healthy recipes that will surely whet my family’s appetite.”

So like Judy Ann, add Del Monte Pineapples to your everyday dishes like Adobo to make it “piña-level up sasarap at sustansiya”.

The secret of Judy Ann’s amazing weight loss!

2 May 2011 | 10:21 AM

Judy Ann Santos carefully chooses her endorsements

 
AS AN ACTRESS, wala nang dapat patunayan si Judy Ann Santos kaya nga nag-iisa lang siyang Young Superstar ng local showbiz. She’s also a wife and mom with the solid background in culinary. After giving birth, unti-unti nang bumabalik sa dati ang sexy figure ng magaling na actress. “I’m happy kasi, medyo komportable na akong magbihis ngayon. Masaya, may nangyayari sa effort ko,” sey nga ni Juday.
Siyempre, may paboritong niluluto si Juday para sa husband niyang si Ryan Agoncillo. “Fried rice, kasi mahilig si Ryan sa rice with toppings. Ang panglasa ni Ryan sa pagkain parang bata, mahilig siya sa prito… ‘yang porkchop, ‘Yung quick meals so, ang ginagawa ko kapag nagluluto ako ng fried rice with his friends, tinatadtaran ko ng maraming gulay sinisingitan ko ng pineapple.
“So, ang lumalabas para ‘yang chao fried rice. Kumakain naman siya ng laing. Kumakain naman siya ng mga salad. Hindi niya napapansin, nauubos niya. Para nga may panganay akong anak kaysa kay Yohan. Hahaha!  Actually, masarap kumain ‘yang mag-ama kapag magkasabay, kasi nag-uunahan silang maubos kung ano ‘yung naka-serve na pagkain. At saka, mas natsa-challenge ako, araw-araw kang nagluluto. Dumadating ka sa point na ano pa ba ang lulutuin ko? Kailangan iba sa panlasa. So, kailangang mag-isip ako ng naiiba na kailangan nilang makain.”
Anong feeling ni Juday na may bago na naman siyang endorsement ? “Siyempre, nakakataas ng confidence ‘yun. Maliban sa sobra mong na-appreciate, they got your services and they really give you one hundred percent trust in you. Parang may kaba nang kaunti, kaya ko bang itawid ito? At the same time, gusto ko itong produkto, ginagamit ko naman.”
Sa pagiging endorser ni Juday, nagiging maingat kaya siya sa kanyang image specially kapag nasa public place? “Ang pagiging endorser at pagiging maingat… bago pa lang akong naging endorser ng mga produkto, maingat na naman ako even before. Hangga’t maaari kung pupuwede, iisipin ko nang ilang beses ‘yung sa-sabihin ko o gagawin ko.
“Mayroon akong moment, teka muna, dapat ko bang patulan ang issue na ito? Kasi, after awhile, sa akin din magre-reflect kung anuman ang sabihin ko. Ako ang pagbabaksakan ng sisi, hindi ba? Hindi naman ibang tao, not unless ginawa ko siya at kaya kong panindigan, ‘di okay.
“Yung image kasi, hindi lang sa pagdadala ng produktong iniendorso mo. Bago pa man ikaw mag-endorse ng isang product dapat ikaw mismo sa sarili mo ‘yung wala kang dalawang mukha. Hindi ‘yung ibang mukha ang ipinakikita mo sa mga tao dahil ito ‘yung gusto nila. Tapos, pagtalikod mo sa kamera, ibang tao ka na naman. Kung ano ka sa harap ng ka-mera at kung ano ka sa likod ng kamera dapat pareho lang kasi, pagpapatunay lang kung gaano kang kabuting tao.”

Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo celebrate second wedding anniversary with barbecue party

 
"Wala namang effort to do birth control... It's just that pag wala sa mood, wala sa mood, walang pilitan!" says Judy Ann Santos about her private moments with husband Ryan Agoncillo.

Nag-agree ang mag-asawang Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo na wala silang ireregalong anuman sa bawat isa sa second wedding anniversary nila last April 28.

Pero nag-effort pa rin ang aktres.

"Binigyan ko siya ng gift na T-shirt na may picture ko nung Ula!" ang natatawang kuwento ni Judai/Juday sa taped interview sa kanya ng StarTalk TX na ipinalabas kahapon, May 7.

Ula, Ang Batang Gubat ang pinakaunang pinagbidahang programa sa telebisyon ni Juday noong 1988 nang siya ay 10 years old pa lamang.

Dagdag pa niya, "Hindi niya alam kasi usapan talaga namin wala nang regaluhan."

Sa hiwalay na panayam naman kay Ryan, sabi niya, "Natuwa ako, sinuot ko agad."

Sa simpleng barbecue party lang idinaos ng mag-asawang Juday at Ryan ang kanilang second wedding anniversary.

Kuwento ni Ryan, "Bale nung Linggo... Kasi April 28 yung anniversary namin, it fell on a Thursday, kami-kami na lang ang nag-celebrate nung mismong araw.

"Pero nung May 1 [Sunday], nagpa-celebrate kami ng mass with Father [Tito] Caluag, with family and friends.

"And then, yun, pagkatapos, beer and barbecue na lang. Party-party na lang."

LUCHO'S FIRST BIRTHDAY. Six months na si Baby Lucho. Pinaghahandaan na ba ng mag-asawa ang first birthday nito?

"Definitely medyo malaki ng konti, kasi first birthday. Pero hindi masyadong glamorosa kasi hindi naman niya maaalala 'yan, hindi ba?" sabi ni Judy Ann.

Susundan na ba nila ang kanilang bunsong anak?

"Kung bibiyayaan kami ng isa pang anak, why not, di ba?" sagot ni Ryan.

Ayon naman kay Judy Ann, "Napag-usapan namin 'yan.

"Nung kapapanganak ko lang, sabi ko, 'Halika na, sundan na natin para tapos na itong anong ito!

"Oo, para isang papayatan na lang! 'Ewan ko sa 'yo,' ginaganun niya ako.

"Tapos nung...  After a while, nung nakikita ko kung gaano kahirap mag-alaga ng dalawang bata at the same time.

"Considering na Yohan is six years old already, and she's also big enough to understand what you're saying, mahirap pa rin.

"Tapos, iniisip ko na hindi ko pala kaya. Kung itong six months si Lucho, tapos magbubuntis ako uli, one year si Lucho, manganganak ako!

"E, batang-bata pa nun si Lucho, hindi ba?

"So, mahirap! Sabi ko, sige, huwag na muna."

PRIVATE MOMENTS. Kumusta naman ang private moments nina Ryan at Juday bilang mag-asawa?

Sabi ni Ryan, "Number one diyan, yung asawa siyempre. Kasi buong araw siya yung nag-aalaga sa mga anak namin.

"So, pag-uwi, uunahin ko muna si mommy, di ba? Pagbati ko sa mga anak ko, hi-hello sa mga kids muna, konting hug-hug.

"Tapos, the rest of the night, siyempre kailangan nakatutok na ako kay mommy."

Natatawa namang sinabi ni Judy Ann ,"Tama lang, tama lang! Kasi, palagi kaming pagod, e. Enough lang, enough lang.

"Pareho naman kasi kaming malambing, e. Kahit magkayakap lang kami sa kama bago matulog, okay na kami.

"Wala namang effort to, you know, to do birth control or something. It's just that pag wala sa mood, wala sa mood, walang pilitan!"

BETH TAMAYO. Hiningan naman ng pahayag si Judy Ann tungkol sa best friend niyang si Beth Tamayo, na napagkamalan umanong si Elizabeth Batain, ang Pinay drug mule na binitay sa China.

Aniya, "Nung una, natawa ako. Tapos after a while, naisip ko, parang hindi magandang biro 'ata. Nakakatawang nakakainis.

"Yun ba yung gusto nilang mangyari para makapagsalita... Para magsalita si Beth, gagawan na lang ng isyu?

"Ang importante, masaya naman siya kung nasaan siya ngayon.

"And sabi ko sa kanya, kung anuman ang kailangan niya, nandito lang kaming mag-asawa para sa kanya."

Milkita TVC-Behind the scenes

After the birth of her son Lucho last year, Judy Ann Santos admitted she didn’t mind having a low-key wedding anniversary celebration with her husband Ryan Agoncillo last April 28. “Nag-video games lang kami sa bahay at saka nag-dinner kaming dalawa. The night before our anniversary, some of our friends came over para salubungin. So parang birthday yung nangayri sa amin (laughs),” she said. The 32-year-old actress said they also held a thanksgiving mass in their home last May 1 to continue the celebration. “May thanksgiving mass sa bahay para sabay na din sa birthday mass para sa akin. ‘Pag birthday kasi namin at saka anniversary, nag-o-offer talaga kami ng thanksgiving mass for another year na maayos, kung ano man ang problemang dumating, masolusyonan naming ng maayos, yung we always do that, she says during her launch as Del Monte Pineapple’s newest endorser held last April 30 at the C55 Events Place in Quezon City. Juday said that being patient and appreciative with each other is one of the reasons why she and Ryan have managed to get along so well. “I think every year is getting much better. Mas nagiging comfortable kami sa buhay namin as a family. And we’re always thankful naman sa bawat taon na dumadaan sa amin. Ang sabi nga namin ni Ryan okay let’s take it a year at a time. Kasi yun yung nagwo-work eh. Siguro masyado lang kaming kumportable kung nasaan kami ngayon and at the same time feeling ko nga, sa aming relasyon, malaking bagay yung napapatawa namin yung isa’t isa. At higit sa lahat, yung magkaibigan rin kayo. Hindi lang kayo basta mag-asawa, mag-best friend din kayo. Puwede kayong mag-confide ng problema niyo sa isa’t isa, hindi lang sa trabaho, yung puwede kayong mag-usap ng hindi mo iju-judge kung ano yung nangyari sa kanya nung araw na yun. Kumbaga, kung kailangan kang maging kaibigan niya, maging kaibigan ka muna niya. I think yun yung talagang nagwo-work sa amin kasi sobra naming na-e-enjoy yung pagiging mag-asawa naming dalawa. Kasi para bang barkada lang yung feeling namin. Pero hindi naman yung barkada na nag iinuman lagi (laughs). Relaxed na relax lang kami. Wala masyadong rules and regulations na nakakasakal.” she shared. Juday also said that keeping an open line of communication is one of the key ingredients to a successful marriage. “I think yung pagiging open niyo talaga ang importante. Yung open sa lahat ng bagay. Not only sa buhay niyo sa loob ng bahay kundi yung buhay niyo rin sa labas. Nakakapag-kuwentuhan kayo about anything under the sun. Puwede kayong mag-biruan. Sabi ko parang feeling ko malaking factor yung may humor yung pagsasama kasi kung hindi kayo tumatawa, kung palagi kayong seryoso, ‘di ba nakakaburaot ata yun,” she explained. The new Del Monte endorser also couldn’t help but share how lucky she feels to have found her ideal mate. “Ryan’s a very good provider. Palagi kong sinasabi sa lahat ng nag-iinterview sa akin. Isang dahilan siguro kung bakit napaka-suwerte ko sa asawa dahil binigyan niya ako ng chance mamili kung babalik ba ako kaagad sa pagtratrabaho o hindi. Sabi niya it’s my choice and he will give that to me. So sobrang prenteng prente lang ako sa bahay. Akala ko nga hindi ko kakayanin na hindi magtrabaho kasi for the past 22 years wala naman akong ibang ginagawa kundi sumegway ng sumegway sa shooting. Ngayon, parang sobra akong enjoy na nasa bahay lang ako tapos kasama ko yung mga anak ko. Hindi kaya lahat ng babae may ganung oportunidad na puwedeng mamili kung gusto ba nila makasama yung mga bata or babalik kagad sa trabaho. At saka isang bagay na kung bakit ang saya saya ko is really because totoo pala yung sinasabi nila na you will realize the perfect person came into your life if you waited a long time and I think I really waited a long time and the right person came to me,” Juday admitted.
