Richard Poon, na-torture sa b-day party ng mommy ni Juday

Ni ALLAN DIONES

SI Judy Ann Santos ang punong-abala sa 65th birthday party ni Mommy Carol Santos kamakalawa ng gabi sa 55 Events Place sa Scout Rallos, QC. Katuwang ni Juday sa pag-o-organize ng party na ‘yon ang mga kapatid niyang sina Ate Jackie at Kuya Jeffrey Santos. Nandu’n din siyempre ang mister ni Juday na si Ryan Agoncillo. May live band na tumugtog at merong dance floor na may dancing lights ang ilalim. Inabutan naming sumasayaw roon ang madir ni Piolo Pascual na si Mommy Amelia Pascual. Malapit na kaibigan ni Mommy Carol si Mommy Amy, na nandito ngayon sa ‘Pinas (sa Amerika ito nakatira kasama ng ibang kapatid ni Piolo). Present din ang Mommy Rowena at Daddy Chito ni Ryan. 7 years old na ang adopted daughter nina Juday at Ryan na si Yohan, na parang unti-unti nang nagiging dalagita. Pumayat ang bagets at mukhang lalaki itong matangkad. Na-touch si Mommy Carol sa surprise sa kanya ni Juday. Inimbita nito si Richard Poon para pa­kantahin sa party. Isa pala si Richard sa paboritong singers ng birthday girl. Tuwang-tuwa si Mommy Carol nang handugan siya ng ilang awitin ng tsinitong crooner. Parang kinikilig-kilig siya habang kumakanta si Richard. Naaliw kami kay Richard dahil nakikipagkulitan ito sa mga batang bisita ni Mommy Carol. Dahil sa mga apo ni mommy at sa mga kaibigan ng mga ito ay parang may children’s party rin na nagaganap. Nang biruin ni Richard ang mga bagets kung gusto nila ng Justin Bieber song ay nagsigawan sa tuwa ang mga ito. Pero panay luma ang songs ni Richard, so dismayado ang mga bagets at hindi sila maka-relate. Panay ang react ng mga ito at nag-iingay habang umaawit si Ri­chard. Natatawang sey tuloy ng Chinese singer, noon lang niya naranasan na ma-bash at ma-torture nang gano’n ng kanyang audience. Ha! Ha! Ha! Gandang-ganda kami kay Juday that night, na dalagang-dalaga ang da­ting sa kanyang off-shoulder outfit na lambut-lambutan ang tela. Kalurkie ‘yung ibang mga naninira sa mag-asawang Juday at Ryan. Habang nandu’n kami sa party ay may mga natanggap kaming tweets na kesyo hindi man lang daw dumaan si Ryan sa birthday ng biyenan nito, pero nakita itong nasa isang bar at umiinom na may ibang kasama. Maliwanag na imbento ang nasabing mga tweet dahil habang binabasa namin ‘yon ay ka-table namin si Ryan at nagsasaya sa party ni Mommy Carol kasama ng mga kaibigan nilang mag-asawa. source here

Maraming insecurities si Sarah na ‘di naman dapat –Judy Ann

---

Ni Jimi Escala

TULAD ni Judy Ann Santos, paborito ring alaga ng ABS-CBN network si Sarah Geronimo. Nagkasama sila sa pelikulang Hating Kapatid at nagturingan nang parang tunay na nang magkapatid.
“Medyo mahiyain talagang bata si Sarah,” kuwento ni Juday, “at saka ang dami niyang insecurities sa maraming bagay na hindi naman dapat.
“Tutal naibuko ko na rin naman ito sa mga talk shows before nu’ng nag-promote kami ng pelikula. Akala yata ni Sarah, pangit ang ilong niya. Palagi ‘yan, ang tagal tagal niyang nakatingin sa salamin ‘pag naghihintay kami ng shoot. Kung ilang beses niyang tinitingnan sa salamin ang ilong niya.
“Tinatanong ko nga siya kung bakit. Kasi sabi niya parang ang pangit daw ng ilong niya ‘tapos ang laki-laki daw ng legs niya. Eh, nagkatong buntis na ako noon, sabi ko, kung malaki ang pata mo, eh, paano na ako, eh, di wala nang lalaki pa kaysa pata ko,” napabungingis na banggit ni Juday.
“At saka si Sarah, meron siyang talent na hindi niya alam na meron siya. Pero ‘pag nasa harap siya sa kamera, nailalabas niya ‘yun. May timing siya sa comedy na talagang naipapakita niya ‘pag nasa harap na ng kamera na akala natin, eh, wala siyang ganu’ng talent.
“Kami naman ni Sarah, ‘pag wala kami sa harap ng kamera, nakatabi lang ‘yan sa akin, ‘pag medyo nalulungkot, eh, sasandal lang sa akin ‘yan. Kaya nagugulat ka lang ‘pag take na, para siyang isang halimaw ‘pag nasa stage na, nagko-concert, totally parang ibang tao siya na nakakagulat talaga.
“Kumbaga, sa isang mahiyaing tao na ayaw magpakita ng legs, ayaw niyang magpakita ng braso, ayaw magpakita ng tiyan, ‘tapos ‘pag nasa stage niya, ibang-iba talaga siya.
“Sabi ko nga sa kanya, kung ako ang may ganyang katawan, eh, hindi na ako magdadamit,” natatawa pang kuwento ni Juday.
“Kumbaga, kung ako ‘yan, eh, lagi akong naka-two piece, ang kinis ng balat. Si Sarah naman, eh, mabait na bata ‘yan. Ang gusto ko lang sana kay Sarah, eh, matapos niya ang pag-aaral niya o studies in a normal school.
“Sana magawa niya for her to experience kung ano ba talaga ang buhay ng isang normal na estudyante. Gusto ko rin sa kanya na i-try niya ang mag-travel, like Asia na ang mga kasama niya, eh, mga friends lang niya, barkada, o siya lang.
“Iba rin kasi, ‘yung may time siya alone at nakakausap niya ang sarili. Sinabi ko sa kanya ‘yun, kasi ‘yun ang hindi ko nagawa nu’ng dalaga ako. Gusto kong ma-experience ‘yan, kasi iba talaga ‘yun,” pagtatapog ng magandang aktres.

KATATAPOS lang ng matagumpay niyang programang Pinoy Junior Masterchef, Masterchef pero isang soap opera na agad ang pinaghahandaan ni Judy Ann Santos.
Ayon sa spy namin sa Dos, selyado na ang usapan ni Juday at ng ABSCBN management para sa kanyang next project. At ang ibinulong sa amin na makakasama ng young superstar ang isa sa hottest loveteam ng bansa, sina Kim Chiu at Xian Lim.
Siguradong nakarating na rin ito sa KimXi (fans nina Kim at Xian), at tinitiyak ng dalawang young stars na magugustuha at tatangkilikin din ng televiewers ang programa ng kanilang idolo gaya ng naging pagtanggap sa successful na My Binondo Girl.
Samantala, wala raw masyadong pressure kay Juday ang gagampanan niyang role sa bagong teleserye dahil hindi ito kagaya ng mga dati niyang soap na heavy drama.
Ayon sa aming informant, matutuwa at maaaliw ang fans nina Juday, Xian, at Kim.
Hindi kasi ito straight-drama dahil hinaluan ito ng pampakilig at comedy na aayon sa taste ng kabataang viewers.

Judy Ann Santos: Ryan and I are getting old

By: Marinel R. Cruz
Philippine Daily Inquirer

JUDY Ann Santos on her Valentine date with husband Ryan: “We felt very sleepy and never got to dessert.”

“It’s refreshing, something ‘out of the box’ and I’m looking forward to it,” Judy Ann Santos said of the indie movie she is making with director Jose Javier Reyes.
The award-winning mainstream actress stars in “Mga Mumunting Lihim,” an entry to the 2012 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival in July.
It’s about a group of childhood friends (Judy Ann, Eugene Domingo, Iza Calzado and Agot Isidro) who face all odds together.
“It will be fun to watch. This is Direk Joey’s first Cinemalaya entry, and mine as well.” It’s not her first indie movie, though. In 2008, she starred and coproduced the Dante Nico Garcia drama, “Ploning,” shot entirely in Palawan province.
Judy Ann is also set to make a movie this year with Coco Martin for Star Cinema. “We’re just finalizing the schedule. Coco is extremely busy these days. I, on the other hand, am eager to start on my next cooking show.” She just finished one season of “Junior Masterchef Pinoy Edition” as host, and will work on the “Masterchef” edition soon.
Judy Ann said she learned a lot from hosting a kiddie cooking contest. “Rearing children is similar to cooking—it requires time and patience,” said the actress, mom to Lucho, 1, and adopted daughter Yohan, 6.
She added: “My husband (TV host Ryan Agoncillo) and I take turns spending time with the kids. As much as possible, we don’t schedule work on weekends.” The couple recently flew to Japan for an eight-day break.
Judy Ann said her family celebrated Valentine’s Day simply. “Ryan gave Yohan and me flowers. I cooked a simple meal—salad, roast beef, mashed potato and grilled corn. For dessert, I made chocolate-covered strawberries. I also had a bottle of champagne chilled, but I guess we’re getting old, because Ryan and I felt very sleepy and never got to dessert.”

Third Time's The Charm For Judy Ann Santos And Iza Calzado

By JOJO P. PANALIGAN

February 22, 2012, 10:29am

MANILA, Philippines – They have worked in “Sabel” and “Ouija,” and last Feb. 21, cameras started rolling for “Mga Mumunting Lihim” which co-star Judy Ann Santos and Iza Calzado anew in a project that even this early is already anticipated to be unbeatable in the Cinemalaya Festival come July.

Written and directed by the award-winning Jose Javier Reyes, “Mga Mumunting Lihim” is Judy Ann’s first indie film. She told Bulletin Entertainment and other members of media on the set of the first day of shooting that doing the film feels like “a return to real acting” for her.

“Andami ko na din naman kasing ginawang pelikula na nagpatawa ako o nagpakilig pero kadalasan laging may limitation either sa characterization or sa linya na pwedeng bitawan kasi nga mga mainstream movies yon.

“Sa indie films gaya nito, you can do whatever you want; really stick to the character and the story. May freedom ka to do your character –-- yung definition ng character ---na matagal ko ng gustong gawin.”

“Mga Mumunting Lihim” is a story about four friends whose relationship is put to the test by an unforeseen circumstance. Aside from Judy Ann and Iza, who play Mariel and Carla, respectively, the film stars Janice de Belen as Olive and Agot as Sandra.

Though it’s their third time working together, Iza couldn’t help but gush over Judy Ann’s acting prowess.

“Isa siyang respetadong aktres at very professional. Kung may taong babayaran ang pagiyak dahil sa ganda ng pagpatak ng luha, si Judy Ann Santos yon,” Iza said.

Judy Ann returned the compliment. “Si Iza naman ang artista na may passion talaga sa trabaho niya. Hindi kumita ng pera o para mapansin ang habol niya kundi alam mong mahal talaga  niya ang trabaho niya.”

The two actresses believe that the story of “Mumunting Lihim” is not just about friendship but relationships in general. Judy Ann pointed out that there are times we try to protect our loved ones by shielding them from harsh realities, hence, the secrets that we sometimes keep even from them. Iza added that the film will remind people that there are no mistakes in love and life because whether good or bad outcome, we learn from our experiences.

Asked if they compromised their usual talent fees in order to work with the tight budget of mga “Mga Mumunting Lihim,” Judy Ann and Iza gave lighthearted answers that seemingly confirm so.

“For the love of everybody,” Judy Ann quipped.
“Parang mas malaki pa ang TF ng mga make-up artists natin,” Iza added, laughing.

Joey said that “Mga Mumunting Lihim” is in memory of his friend, production designer and director Don Escudero, who passed away last year. The film will compete in Cinemalaya’s Director’s Showcase category.

Judy Ann Santos spent time in an ancestral house featuring Spanish style architecture yesterday, February 21, to shoot scenes for the Cinemalaya entry Mga Mumunting Lihim.

Written and directed by Joey Reyes, Juday stars in this drama film with Iza Calzado, Agot Isidro, and Janice de Belen.

The four ladies bring life to four friends who discover that they are harboring secrets about each other.

Eugene Domingo was supposed to be part of the film but due to her hectic schedule, she was replaced by Janice de Belen.

THE DIARY. This marks the first time that Juday will appear in a Cinemalaya entry, which also happens to be the first project of Direk Joey for the said indie film festival that will take place this July.

Juday plays the role of Mariel in the film.

She said about her character, "Hindi naman ako kontrabidang bonggang-bongga, pero tahimik ang character ko na observant at pailalim gumawa ng conclusion tungkol sa mga kaibigan niya.

"May sarili siyang pananaw sa mga kaibigan niya at sinusulat niya iyon sa journal niya.

"Ang mga Pilipino mahilig sa diary, mahilig magkuwento sa mga kaibigan.

"It's a good movie kasi makaka-relate lahat ng tao.

"Lahat naman tayo may kaibigan at lahat tayo nagkakaroon ng tampuhan sa mga kaibigan natin."

In real life, Juday maintains her own diary.

"Hanggang ngayon may diary ako sa iPad ko... pero hindi siya daily journal. Ako kasi [nagsusulat lang] 'pag masama ang loob ko."

MATTERS OF THE HEART. When it comes to matters of the heart, Juday said with a laugh: "Sa totoong buhay, marami talaga kaming sikreto."

The former host of Junior MasterChef then gave love advice to her co-star Iza Calzado, who broke up with businessman-musician Atticus King last year.

Juday said, "Basta sabi ko kay Iza, love will happen at the most unexpected way, at the most unexpected time, with the most unexpected person.

"Tingnan mo ako, ending ko sa La Sallista!"

Juday married Ryan Agoncillo, a graduate of De La Salle University-Manila, on April 2009.

When Iza was asked how she celebrated her Valentine's Day, she admitted that she went out on a date with a non-showbiz guy whom she did not identify.

"Oo naman! Hindi ako patatalo sa inyong lahat," the new Kapamilya star said.


Juday and Iza have worked together in previous movies such as Sabel and Ouija.

Juday was asked how is it like working again with Iza?

"Napakatotoo niya... napaka-pure," said Juday about her co-star who plays her best friend in this movie.

"Wala siyang opinion na masama laban sa ibang tao.

"Nung nagsu-shoot nga kami ng Ouija, may nakikita kaming mga tao at may mga opinion kami. Siya lang ang hindi.

"Sabi ko, 'Bakla, may halo ka na. Wala kang bad bone, ano? Pakpak na ang kasunod niyan, mag-ingat ka, ha.'

"Kasi siya, laging sinasabi, 'Hindi naman [ganun yung tao]. Ang sama n'yo.'"

TAX EVASION CASE. In May 2005, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) filed a tax-evasion case against Juday for allegedly failing to supply correct and accurate information for the taxable year 2002.

The BIR alleged that the actress incurred a P2.714-million tax deficiency in 2002.

Almost seven years later, Juday is still awaiting a resolution to this case.

She admitted, "I'm hoping for the best.

"Hindi mo naman maibabalik ang panahon na wala kang kaso. It's already there.

"Wala ka nang magagawa kundi pulutan ng magandang aral.

"Ako, naniniwala na nangyayari ang mga bagay dahil may rason. Sadya siyang mangyayari dahil kailangan siyang mangyari sa iyo.

"At the end of it all, ang sisisihin mo lang ang sarili mo, kasi bakit mo hinayaan? Bakit ka nag-trust?

"Pero at the end of the day, bata ka, e. Akala mo tama ang ginagawa mo."

She later added: "Pinapagsa-Diyos ko na lang... kung matapos, matatapos.

"On the brighter side, sana maging leksiyon ito sa ibang artista na 'wag nila i-allow ang ibang tao to handle their finances.

"Hangga't maaari, kung ikaw mismo puwede magbayad ng taxes mo, ikaw na para masiguro mo na wala kang natatalunan na taon.

"Yun ang responsibility ng isang batang nagtatrabaho simula eight years old na hindi niya alam na nag-e-exist ang taxes...

"Ang alam mo lang noon gumising, mag-toothbrush, maligo, magpunta sa set, magtrabaho, matulog, gumising."

Juday admitted that she initially got depressed because of the tax-evasion case but she also learned some painful lessons from this experience.

"It's a very big lesson for me.

"Unang-una, may mga bagets ka na [referring to her children Yohan and Lucho]. Ayaw mo nang tumagal ang kaso na ito.

"Sana may maganda siyang kahinatnan. Kahit kanino puwede itong mangyari, nagkataon lang na [sa akin nangyari].

"Noong una, nade-depress pa ako. Ang dami-daming mas malaking kinikita pero ganun, e!" she said with a laugh.

Juday added, "Alangan namang manisi pa ako ng tao, e, ako ang nandun, e, so ako ang haharap.

"Sana maging leksiyon sa mga kabataan to be responsible."
