LUCHO, INILAPIT NI JUDAY SA MGA MADRE

Sa wakas ay natupad na ang hiling namin at ng mga Madre na dalhin ni Juday si Lucho sa Carmelite Convent sa Angeles City. Nagpunta sila doon nina Ryan at Yohan. At naki­pag-audience sila sa mga Madre na sa loob lang ng kumbento nananatili.

Ang mga Carmelite Nuns ang siyang nagpapamisa araw-araw para sa amin. Sila ang mataimtim na nagdarasal sa Sto. Niño na bigyan sina Juday at Ryan ng isang malusog na baby boy, a symbol of the child Jesus.

Ibinigay ng Sto. Niño ang ipinagdasal ng mga Madre. Hayun si Lucho na siyang umuukupa ng mahahalaga at magastos na oras at araw ni Juday. Ipinagpalit nga ni Juday ang trabaho niya sa pag-aalaga kay Lucho.

Matagal hiniling ng mga Madre na makita nila nang personal si Lucho. Kabilang na ako sa mga nagpapayo kay Juday na ipakita na sa mga Madre si Lucho sabay ng pasalamat sa natatanging regalo sa kanilang mag-asawa.

Madalas na dahilan ni Juday sa akin ay hindi pa raw siya nanga­nganak ay araw-araw na siyang nagpapasa­lamat sa Sto. Niño. Pero iba ‘yung babalik ka sa lugar wherein you made the request.

Similar sa ten lepers na ginamot ni Hesus na isa lang ang nagbalik para magpasalamat. Ewan ko kung ano ang finally naka-convinced kay Juday to finally take the trip for Lucho sa Carmelite Convent. But then, masaya na ako dahil na-erased lahat ang mga fears and premonitions ko!

Mabuhay ka Lucho!

Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath -- For Babies and Mommies Too!

original source here

Judy Ann Santos is one of my favorite actresses. Simple, pretty, pang-masa ang arrive and most importantly, she knows how to act. The first time I saw her personally was during the wake of one of my friend's dad. Judy Ann's face looked angelic and her skin looked fresh and smooth even without make up. Maganda talaga siya. I was amazed.

A few years later, I saw her again strolling in a mall not so long ago. Her skin didn't change at all! She still looks fresh and her skin looked smooth and healthy. Partida nanganak na siya ha. Mommies, you know what I mean when I say it takes real effort to look good once you become a mom na. Everything else seem to be more important than going to the salon or the dermatologist for your me time. Kaya na-bilib ako kay Juday. Flawless eh. And it really shows that she's taking good care of her skin.

It was not until I learned about Johnson's Baby Milk Bath Live Chat with Judy Ann in Facebook that I discovered her secret.

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo uses pala Johnson's Baby Milk Bath for her skin!

Hindi chismis yan! How was I able to confirm?

Last March 12, Johnson's Baby Milk Bath invited all mommies for a rare chance to chat with Mrs. Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo on Facebook. Judy Ann shared her secrets on having supermom skin plus also gave mommy tips and advice. Also, mommies asked her questions on the spot and shared their secrets and tips too.

Selected questions were also answered by Judy Ann via video and posted on the Johnson’s Baby Philippines Facebook wall. Chatters won gift packs from Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath when their questions were selected. 

Not only that, Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath posted a series of videos of Judy Ann sharing various skin tips for mommies. You can visit Johnson’s Baby Philippines Facebook to view these videos.

Eto na, I have a secret too.

Anika uses the Johnson's Baby Milk Bath for her daily bath. She has been using this ever since she was born.

Johnson's Baby Milk Bath nourishes and moisturizes while gently cleansing baby's skin. It has 100% more milk proteins and Vitamins A and E that gives the proper nourishment so skin stays moisturized for extended periods of time, long after bathing.

These are the reasons why I use it too!!!

I'm telling you, Johnson’s Baby Milk Bath is also good for mommies!

After using it, I noticed a change talaga in my dry skin. It's smoother to touch and feels healthier. My skin's a lot like Anika's now. Baby na baby sa smoothness and softness! It's gentle so it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. It also smells really good! Alvin loves the smell on me! *wink!*

Many women might think that Johnson's Milk Bath is only made for babies. Ay noooo... Mommies can also use this! Mommies and babies can benefit with the goodness of this milk bath. For practical mommies like me, who was used to using the bar soap, might think that using a liquid wash can be wasteful or expensive. Actually, I noticed that Johnson's milk bath lathers quickly. Konti lang ang kelangan ilagay sa sponge (around a size of a five peso coin), bubula na ng bongga. With only that amount of liquid, my whole body is cleansed and moisturized. Sulit right? Not only that, since you and your baby can now share using the Johnson Milk Bath, it's very, very easy na to shop! Less hassle!

I really love Johnson's Baby Milk Bath for me and Anika.

But wait, there's more!

Good new here is that in the next few weeks, Judy Ann will be dishing out more skin tips for mommies via video on the Johnson’s Baby Philippines Facebook. We can all check it out and learn more about having beautiful skin care of the very beautiful and flawless Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo.

Johnson's Baby Milk Bath is available in all leading supermarkets nationwide! =)

Marian, palaban pag binabastos

ALFIE LORENZO

EMAIL mula kay Briggs Parysta (handsome_bi_discreet2011 ang yahoo username) noong Sabado na may subject na, “Bakit Mahal ng Masa sina Juday at Marian?” “…Bakit nga ba mahal ng masa sina  Judy Ann Santos at Marian Rivera? Kung titingnan natin ang naging career path ni Juday, noon pa dapat siya hinirang na successor ni Ms. Nora Aunor. Why? “Hindi ba’t nilait-lait noon si Ate Guy dahil sa pagiging maitim at pandak at di kagandahan pero sumikat? “Si Juday naman, ilang beses nilait ang katawan  at tinawag pang Moon-like Face at Flopsina Queen pero vindi­cated si Juday dahil sa mga kasabayan niya, siya lang ang naka-survive! “Nasaan na ba sina Jolina, Claudine, Rica at iba pa? Hindi ba’t naglamlam na ang mga bituin nila samantalang si Juday dahil sa inner happiness na nararamdaman sa family at career ay lalong gumanda at kitang-kita ito sa aura niya ngayon. “About Marian naman, kahit anong tawag nilang palengkerang bobita si Marian, hindi nila mapapasubalian na minahal siya ng masa sa kanyang pagiging natural. “Kung ibang babae na ganoon kaganda, tiyak na nuknukan na ng arte at pasosyal. “Pero si Marian ay lumaking kasama ang mga anak ng driver, katulong, mga taga-public schools at makikita mong kumakain ng street food sa daan. “Kailan man ay hindi ikinahihiya ni Marian na hindi siya marunong mag-Ingles at hindi siya matalino pero ang maha­laga, degree-holder siya at nagtiyagang makatapos para sa kanyang lola. “Kaya kahit Inglesera pa sina Heart Evangelista, Bela Padilla, Lovi Poe at kahit pa-demure effect si Angel Locsin, talung-talo sila ni Marian dahil siya, kahit paano ay titulada. “Gusto rin naming ipaliwanag once and for all ang pinalaking issue ng detractors ni ­Marian tungkol sa ­‘Psychology ako.’ “Ang pagbanggit noon ni Marian ng ganoong terminology ay kalakaran na sa college students. Kumbaga, lenggwahe na iyun ng mga taga-kolehiyo. Wala itong ipinag-iba sa usapan ng mga magka­klase sa college na, ‘Anong course mo? Engineering kami, kayo?’ ‘Educ kami.’ ‘A. B. kayo, di ba?’ ‘Oo, A. B. kami.’ “Ganyan ang usapang pangkolehiyo at lahat ng nagkolehiyo ay ­na-experience ang ganyang usapan na putol at hindi na binubuo ang Engineering course kami. “Noong ininterbyu si Ms. Marian ng ABS-CBN, at sumagot siya na, ‘Kasi Psychology ako’, ang ibig niyang sabihin, ‘Psycho­logy ang course ko!’ “Ang mga bobo ay ang mga nagpalaki ng issue. Hindi nila alam ang ganoong pasakalyeng lenggwahe ng college students, kasi, hindi nila naranasang mag-aral sa kolehiyo. “Kailanman ay hindi mabubura sa isip ng masa ang pinasikat ni ­Juday na karakter ni Mara, at ­Marimar naman ang kay Marian. Naalala ko pa, ilang beses siniraan si Juday na suplada pero walang naniwala. “Hindi ba’t pinalaki rin ng ABS-CBN ang video scandal ni Marian na nagalit siya noong bastusin siya ng isang male fan at kunan ng video sa taping ng Dyesebel kung saan bawal? “Nagpunta pa ang staff ng show ng ABS-CBN sa Cavite para mag-interview at magbaka-sakaling ang mga kapitbahay at kaklase ni ­Marian doon ay mag­salita na talagang mataray siya ngunit nabigo sila at hindi na inere ang resulta ng interview nila dahil puro magagandang komento ang sinabi ng mga taong higit na nakakakilala kay Marian. “Lalong natameme ang ABS-CBN nang pati ang grupo ng GABRIELA ay kumampi kay Ma­rian at lahat ng Caviteña dahil ganuon daw ang ­Caviteña, palaban kapag binabastos na. “In other words, they cannot put good women down. “Sina Juday at Marian ay pinagkakatiwalaan ng advertisers dahil sa pagiging simple at totoo. Hindi sila laman ng mga bar at nite life trip. “Pareho silang homebody, mas gustong i-spend ang oras sa pa­milya -- Juday with Ryan and her two kids, at si Marian with her lola, mommy and of course Dingdong. “Conservative sila pareho sa pakikipagrelasyon. Si Juday, kahit binobola ng leading men na gustong manggamit sa kanya noon (hindi ko na babanggitin ang name, baka sumikat pa sila), never siyang pumatol. “Hinintay niya ang isang Ryan Agoncillo na napaka-gentleman at hindi siya ginamit. “Si Marian, nakadalawang bf lang at pangmatagalan talaga. Hindi katulad ng iba na naligawan lang sa Twitter ay nakipag-date na at papalit-palit  pa ng boyfriend. “Ito ang simple reasons kaya mahal ng madla sina Juday at Marian, ang dala­wang superstar sa kani-kanyang henerasyon!” source here

Indie actors in danger!

DARATING ang panahong nganga ang karamihan sa indie actors and actresses dahil base sa line-up ng entries ng Cinemalaya 2012, pawang de-kalidad na mainstream actors ang bida sa kalahok, huh!
Nangunguna na rito si Judy Ann Santos sa pelikulang Mga Mumunting Lihim na mula sa direksyon ni Joey Javier Reyes. Eh, kasama pa niya sa cast sina Janice de Belen at Iza Calzado, lalong tumingkad ang indie movie.
Ang ilan pa sa mainstream showbiz personalities na may entry sa Cinemalaya na magsisimula sa July ay sina Coco Martin sa Santa Nina; Eddie Garcia sa Bwakaw; Dawn Zulueta sa Ang Nawawala; Dennis Trillo sa Katiwala, Mylene Dizon and Jodi Santamaria sa Aparisyon, Zanjoe Marudo at Ananda Eviringham na Thai actor sa Kalayaan at Joel Torre sa Kamera Obscura at iba pa.
Ang Cinemalaya kasi ang masasabing prestigious indie filmfest kung saan lumutang ang kakayahan ni Eugene Domingo, hindi lang bilang aktres, kundi maging box-office attraction, huh!
Ito rin ang nagsisilbing guide ng ilang award-giving bodies sa pagpili ng mahuhusay na pelikula at pagganap.
Hindi man nakukuha ng malalaking artista ang totoong talent fee nila sa paggawa ng indie movies, still, nagagawa nilang gawin ang roles na hindi kayang sugalan ng mainstream producers.
Kapag nagpatuloy nga lang ang paglabas ng malalaking artista sa Cinemalaya entries, mababawasan ng trabaho ang ilang artistang ang tanging hanapbuhay ay maging bahagi ng independent films.

Malalaking artista nakikipag-agawan na sa mga indie films

THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT Ni Master Showman Kuya Germs (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated April 17, 2012 12:00 AM 

Tama nga yata yung obserbasyon ng isang entertainment writer na lumiliit na ang tsansa ng mga hindi gaanong popular na mga artista na makuha sa mga indie films dahil pinasok na rin ng mga may pangalan at higit sa kasikatan na mga artista ng indie filmmaking.
It seems, lumaki na rin ang budget ng mga indie movies at kinakapitalan na ng mga may perang tao na hindi nangyayari nun kaya ‘yung maraming hindi kamahalang atista ang kinukuha na nananalo naman sa mga international filmfest.
‘Di ba naman dito nakilala sina Coco Martin, Sid Lucero, Neil Ryan Sese, at Mercedes Cabral? Ngayon makikita na sa mga marquee ng indie films ang mga pangalang tulad nina Judy Ann Santos, Iza Calzado, Dawn Zulueta, Zanjoe Marudo bagaman at dati nang sumusuporta sa indie movies sina Lovi Poe, Jodi Santamaria, Mylene Dizon, Dennis Trillo, Janice de Belen, Jason Abalos, Eugene Domingo, at marami pang iba.
Mga malalaking artista ang tampok sa mga indie films na makakasali sa Cinemanila 2012.

Judy Ann Santos shocking experiences

Monday, 16 April, 2012 Written by Manila Standard Today

Judy Ann Santos, actress, wife, mother, chef, product endorser and entrepreneur, literally grew up in show business and has been under public scrutiny most of her life, yet she admits that she’s still not immune to shocking episodes that affect both her professional and personal affairs.
According to Judy Ann, the marriage proposal from now husband Ryan Agoncillo is one of the most shocking but pleasant surprises that ever happened to her. “I was always a bridesmaid (but never a bride) so on the night that he proposed and I eventually wore the engagement ring, kinakausap ko talaga ang sarili ko, ‘totoo na ba ito?! It was so surreal,” Judy Ann recalls between stifled laughs.
She says she has become more careful and wiser with her decisions perhaps to shield her from any unpleasant “surprises” in the future. The same applies with the choices she makes—from the products she endorses down to the network provider of her entire household. “Hindi ibig sabihin na cell phone bill lang iyan, babalewalain na,” she points out pertaining to cell phone usage that can rack up huge amounts if left unchecked. “Fortunately with my present network provider, Sun Cellular, they have the Anti-Bill Shock plan which protects customers like me from shocking bills while giving us control over our usage.”
Anti-Bill Shock plans are just one of the many products of Sun Cellular that suits the kind of lifestyle Judy Ann has right now. By putting a cap on the monthly bill for text to other networks, landline calls, and mobile internet, a subscriber will only pay a fixed amount regardless of the length or frequency of usage.

Maggi Magic Sarap (sa Kamay ni Nanay)

Talentadong Pinoy celebrates Ryan's Bday.

Ryan, emotional sa sorpresa nina Juday, Yohan at Lucho!

Alfie Lorenzo
Isang espesyal na epi­sode ang hatid ng Talentadong Pinoy ngayong Linggo.

Muling magtatagisan ng galing ang mga dating winners para sa isang kapanapanabik na wildcard epi­sode. Dito ay magkakaroon sila ng pagkakataong makasali sa nalalapit na Battle of the Champions.

Ang power singer na si Yumi Morales, hula-hoop child wonder Reese Portulan, blind si­nger at keyboardist Jerimie Tampoy, wire balancer Shiba Gonzales, acrobatic dancers Exodus at ang singing diva na si Rhyzza Kafilas ang maglalaban-laban sa special wildcard episode ngayong Linggo.

Ang mananalo ay magiging kabilang na sa mga Hall of Famers at maglalaban-laban sa nalalapit na Talentadong Pinoy Battle of the Champions sa Mayo 5 at 6 sa Quezon City Memorial Circle.

Bukod sa mga naggagalinggang mga contestants, dapat ding abangan ang espesyal na sorpresa na inihanda ng Talentadong Pinoy para sa kaarawan ng host na si Ryan Agoncillo.

Siguradong ikatutuwa ng mga manonood na makita ang asawa ni Ryan na si Judy Ann Santos at ang kanilang cute na mga anak na sina Yohan and Lucho.

Sabi nga ni Ryan, kahit araw-araw niyang nakakasama ang pamil­ya niya sa bahay, nagi­ging emotional pa rin siya sa mga ganu’ng pagkakataon, na hayun nga at sinusorpresa siya, kaya maluha-luha na naman siya.

“Hindi pa rin ako nasasanay. Iba talaga kapag ang family mo ang nagsu-surprise sa iyo,” sey pa ni mister ni Juday.

Juday, inuulan pa rin ng biyaya

ALFIE LORENZO

May mga artistang reklamo nang reklamo ‘pag walang trabaho. ‘Pag meron naman at natambakan ng trabaho, reklamo pa rin! Asus!

Naguguluhan na tuloy ang Diyos kung ano ba talaga ang gusto ninyo?

Ngarag sa katatrabaho o ngarag sa kahahanap ng trabaho?

Remember ‘yung mga lumalakad pa nang paluhod sa kadadasal sa paghingi ng trabaho!

Ang palagi kong bilin noon kay Judy Ann Santos, huwag kang magreklamo ‘pag dumami ang trabaho mo. Basta magdasal ka at magpa­salamat sa Diyos, “Marami pong salamat, Lord, sa maraming trabahong ibi­nigay Mo sa akin.

“Bigyan Mo po ako ng lakas para magawa kong lahat itong mga iniatang Mo sa balikat ko!”

Kita n’yo naman, until now, may Lucho na si Juday, inuulan pa rin siya ng grasya. ‘Yun eh dahil sa mga pari at madre na nagdarasal para sa kanya at may misa araw-araw para sa kaginhawahan niya sa buhay!

That is the #1 lesson na dapat matutuhan ng lahat ng mga artista, lalo na ng mga butiki at bubuwit diyan sa Star Ma­gic, ‘noh?!

Na hindi alam ituro ng mga pinuno nila. Hehehehehe!!!!

Ryan's Birthday Celeb at EB (April 10,2012)

Juday, ‘wag sanang mawili sa katatanggi sa trabaho!

Hindi pa sumasagot si Juday sa offer ni Kuya Daniel Razon na isang indie film na ipuprodyus ni Kuya Daniel ng UNTV. Ewan ko ba kung kay Lucho na lang devo­ted ang mga oras ni Juday.
Baka dumating ang araw na wala na siyang offer ay mawalan siya ng oras for Lucho dahil sa kagagala niya from studio to studio begging for work to do.
Naging super ganda na si Juday since she gave birth. Blooming na blooming nga siya ngayon na hi­git pa kesa nu’ng dalaga pa siya. So that can only mean one thing: Super in love siya at maligaya sa present status niya.
Kaya nga ang iniisip ng ibang reporters ay ready na uli siya para magbuntis. Eh bakit pa kaya siya nagpapayat kung magbubuntis nga lang uli at lolobo na naman ang dating katawan?
Her blooming beauty now is the biggest attraction kung bakit naka­pila ang mga kumukuha sa kanya bilang endorser at dagsa ang movie offers sa kanya habang tanggi naman nang tanggi ang lokah! Huwag sana siyang mawili sa katatanggi dahil hindi naman ako ang mawawalan kundi siya!
Ang aga naman yata niyang gustong sundan ang mga yapak ni Ate Guy, Lorna T., Maricel Soriano at Sharon Cuneta, huh! To name a few!

Dramatic actors in a ‘fun show’

GLENDALE, CA.-- We watched the third leg of the Teleserye Bida US Tour 2012 at Alex Theatre on Brand Blvd.  in Glendale last Saturday night (US time) and the cast, Enchong Dee, Sam Milby, Gerald Anderson, Rayver Cruz and Xian Lim, with host, Pokwang and guest, Young JV, provided the audience, mostly female, a great time.

They had their first show in Hawaii, then in Chicago.

We know that just two or three of the boys could really carry a tune, but the crowd obviously didn’t mind as they screamed their lungs out on each performance. Even Young JV got his share of adulation, as the others were hotly supported by Filipino fans in the US. Some of them, we learned, came from San Francisco and San Diego, and even as far as Georgia.

Enchong fairly drew some noises, and so did Rayver especially when a woman he invited from the audience gamely did a sexy dance as if trying to seduce him onstage. But Xian pulled another surprise just like what happened at their meet-and-greet event at the Celebrity Center two days ago.

Fans were chanting Xian’s name as he performed, and no one cared if he was missing some lyrics of the B40 song he sung.

And obviously, Gerald’s appearance was most awaited that evening.  As soon as he was stage-born , both front aisles were filled with fans who forced themselves towards the stage for a closer shot, and for some who got luckier, a photograph with him. He regaled them with two songs, and his Budoy antics.

But Sam, for his part, was never edged out by his colleagues. In fact, When Pokwang called him to perform, screams quickly devoured his opening spiels. “Did you miss me?,” asked Sam who just came from New York where he was auditioning for some movie parts for the show in L.A. And there was a deafening “Yes” from the audience. Sam said that he is soon going back to Manila to do a new series with Judy Ann Santos.
As a whole, it was fun. After the show, no one was accused of shortchanging anyone, as we saw a smiling crowd heading for the exit.

Mother Alfie’s pride & joy

HE IS enormously feared in the business where most people are callous and hatefully unkind but Mama Alfie Lorenzo is widely feared and acknowledged to be the feistiest of them all.
If he dislikes you, he shows it and is not one to resort to politicking to hide his repugnance or dislike.
His indifference to people he dislikes is legendary but he is one to show his fondness for you, too, if and when he likes you.
So far, the luckiest person on earth is his grandson John-John who’s been spared from an illness because of his benevolence.
If you want him to be happy in one particularly instant, ask about his boy and he immediately transforms into a fawning sycophant.
Si John-John talaga ang kanyang Achilles’ Heel and the one person who can make him smile even if he’s in the foulest of mood.
Of course Judy Ann Santos’ Lucho (I don’t know if I spelled the boy’s name correctly) is another boy he’s enamored of but he just can’t show the boy much of his paternal love for his mom’s perpetually around to give him all the love and comfort that he needs.
Nevertheless, he’s most fond of the boy since he’s the son of the daughter he’s never had.
So, in a way, that is where his world revolves around in- John-John and Juday’s Lucho.
With them around, he sheds off his pugnacious stance in the business and becomes a doting granddad.
Hahahahahaha! Now you know Mother Alfie’s secret.

Celebrities plans this Holy Week!

JUDY ANN SANTOS:
“Ang hirap lumabas ng Maynila kasi ang traffic. Parang lahat ng tao, kapag nag-beach ka, magkikita-kita rin ka­yong magkakaibigan sa beach.
“Normally kapag Holy Week, nasa bahay na lang din kami. Nagba-bonding kami sa bahay. Doon kami nagdarasal.
“Si Mommy, tuwing Holy Week, nagbi-Visita-Iglesia. Kami naman, nagrorosaryo. Kung minsan mas okay pa nga sa bahay. Nakakapag-spring cleaning ba. ‘Yun ang time mo to clean then, after Holy Week, garage sale na. Meron ka nang extra na pera.”

Judy Ann Santos describes role in Mga Mumunting Lihim as "slight" kontrabida

Arniel C. Serato

Tuesday, April 03, 2012

Hindi man gaanong nakikita sa telebisyon si Judy Ann Santos, kabi-kabila naman ang kanyang mga proyekto—mapa-pelikula man o mapa-endorsement.

Sa set ng pelikulang Mga Mumunting Lihim, nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na makausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang aktres sa Casa Francesco restaurant sa Timog Avenue, Quezon City.

Dito'y makakasama niya sina Janice de Belen, Agot Isidro, at Iza Calzado.

DARK ROLE. Ang kuwento ay umiikot sa apat na magkakaibigan na may mga lihim na sa huli ay ibubunyag ng kanyang karakter.

“Ako si Mariel, sa akin nagsisimula yung mga mumunting lihim. Kumbaga ako yung nagsusulat ng mga lihim ng mga kaibigan ko, ng mga tingin ko sa kaibigan ko… so yun.”

May pagka-kontrabida raw ang role niya rito?

“Slight… Oo ha? Na hindi horror kasi yung Kulam, yung kambal ko dun ‘di ba dark?

“So ahmm… oo ito yung normal na istorya na medyo kontrabida.”

So taliwas ito madalas niyang role, kung saan siya ay inaapi?

Aniya, “Hindi naman siya yung kontrabidang nang-aapi.

“Pero meron siyang mga underground tactics, kung paano niya… kung anong tingin niya sa mga kaibigan niya, kung anong pananaw niya sa mga nangyayari sa paligid niya.”

“Kumbaga, I’m sure na bawat isa sa atin may mga ganun naman tayong…ganung klaseng ugali, ‘di ba?

“Hindi mo na nga lang kailangang ipaalam mo sa kaibigan mo na kung anong nakikita mo sa kanya, isusulat mo na lang.

“Hanggang sa yun na nga...”

INDIE PROJECTS. Sa previous interview ng misis ni Ryan Agoncillo, binanggit niyang ito ang kanyang first indie fillm
Pero pagka-klaro niya, “Alam mo dapat ko ngang i-korek ang sarili ko kasi nabanggit ko before, first indie film ko itong ke Direk Joey Reyes.

“Naalala ko, nag- Miss Pinoy nga pala ako—that was my first indie film.

“Ang Ploning, considered as indie kasi independently-produced siya—ito ang first ko sa Cinemalaya kumbaga.”

Masaya daw si Juday sa set ng pelikula.

“Saya lang, relax lang, parang sa panahon ngayon…Maghahanap ka na rin ng project na magagawa mo…Yung craft mo and at the same time masarap pumasok sa trabaho kasi alam mong maayos yung mga katrabaho mo, very professional.

“Mga kaibigan mo, masaya lang kayo sa set, uuwi kang masaya lang din.”

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo on 'Shocking' Experiences

Life for many celebrities is never an ordinary one. Theirs is, at the very least, a story full of twists and turns, surprises and shocking moments it merits its own script and movie adaptation. Judy Ann Santos, actress, wife, mother, chef, product endorser and entrepreneur, literally grew up in showbusiness and has been under public scrutiny most of her life, yet she admits that she’s still not immune to shocking episodes that affect both her professional and personal affairs.

According to Judy Ann, the marriage proposal from now husband Ryan Agoncillo is one of the most shocking but pleasant surprises that ever happened to her. “I was always a bridesmaid (but never a bride) so on the night that he proposed and I eventually wore the engagement ring, kinakausap ko talaga ang sarili ko, ‘totoo na ba ito?! It was so surreal,” Judy Ann recalls between stifled laughs.

However, it’s not all roses for the bankable dramatic actress.  Being under the limelight all the time inevitably results to intrigues and gossips that sometimes shock her.   But  Judy Ann has learned that these are all part of her life as a celebrity  and faces her career with optimism and enthusiasm.

With the learnings she gleaned from past experiences, Judy Ann says she has become more careful and wiser with her decisions perhaps to shield her from any unpleasant “surprises” in the future. The same applies with the choices she makes – from the products she endorses down to the network provider of her entire household. “Hindi ibig sabihin na cell phone bill lang iyan, babalewalain na,” she points out pertaining to cell phone usage that can rack up huge amounts if left unchecked. “Fortunately with my present network provider, Sun Cellular, they have the Anti-Bill Shock plan which protects customers like me from shocking bills while giving us control over our usage.”

Anti-Bill Shock plans are just one of the many products of Sun Cellular that suits the kind of lifestyle Judy Ann has right now. By putting a cap on the monthly bill for text to other networks, landline calls, and mobile internet, a subscriber will only pay a fixed amount regardless of the length or frequency of usage. Sun Cellular’s Sun Anti-Shock Bill Plans  comprised of three unbeatable postpaid offerings for data, text and mobile landline. Heavy texters, for example, will benefit from Sun Anti-Bill Shock Text All Plan with 1,000 SMS to other networks by simply adding P199 per month to their existing Sun plan.   This is a real winner with the convenience of using only your Sun SIM to text any network at only 20 cents per SMS sent.   Exceeding the monthly SMS limit is also no worry with its fixed add-on rate of only P549. 

And with Judy Ann on the phone most of the time – surfing the net, texting, or talking to her family, manager, colleagues, friends and employees – she doesn’t have to worry about chalking up a huge phone bill afterward. “I will definitely recommend Sun to people who haven’t started using it.”

To know more about Sun’s latest Anti-Bill Shock Text All, Data & Mobile Landline offering, visit The Sun Shop outlets located nationwide; or call Sun’s Hotline 1822 using your Sun-powered mobile phone or (02) 395-8888 from any landline phone.  Better yet, visit Sun Facebook page www.facebook.com/suncellularph to view the full features and mechanics of this new treat.

HOLY Week is that time of the year when you are forced to regret all the money you spent on beer while you are drinking beer at the same time. What I mean is that the week that’s supposed to be holy is also a week off from work. And what’s vacation without beer?
But my indecision about how I must spend the week does not stop me from spending it in the holiest way I know, such as listening to homilies and Lenten reflections on my transistor radio first thing in the morning while I’m still too hung over to get up from bed.
Have something to report? Tell us in text, photos or videos.
I’m fine with this arrangement, and I don’t think God has a problem with that, too. If there’s any reason this arrangement doesn’t sit well with Him, that reason would have something to do with my transistor radio being so old that it still has the face of Judy Ann Santos painted on it. What God would like the idea of The Seven Last Words blaring from an old transistor radio painted with the face of a soap opera queen?
But I just can’t get rid of this radio, which I bought in Magallanes St. when “Mara Clara” the TV series was at its peak. You know Mara Clara, right? What, no?
Remember that story about a girl named Mara and another girl named Clara, one chubby, the other skinny, whose drama between them started in 1992 and ended in 1997 with us viewers still wondering if Mara was not actually Clara and Clara was not actually Mara, until the confusion led to the Filipino people electing Joseph Estrada as President in 1998? Yes, that TV series.
That time, all the transistor radios being sold in Magallanes and Colon Sts. had the picture of Judy Ann Santos. Which made you wonder, what about Gladys Reyes who played Clara? Or was it Mara? Jesus!
If we do the math, this radio is almost 20 years old now. What journalist in his right mind would let go of a thing of such sentimental value to him, and with Judy Ann’s face to boot? I bought it at P150. If a collector wants to have it for P1,000 now, he can have Judy Ann for free, but I will not let go of my transistor radio for P1,000. Make it P2,000.
For one, this transistor radio molded my newsgathering skills when I was still starting out as a reporter more than 10 years ago. Its usefulness would increase a hundredfold during Holy Week, when government offices were closed and all that was left to write about were fire-and-brimstone sermons and the Seven Last Words delivered at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral.
And by skills, I mean something that I don’t recommend to anybody and that any respectable reporter today must not have, because my reporting skills that time consisted of getting all the details of a news story purely from radio reports while I ate benignit at home.
My thinking was that if I was covering sermons and Lenten reflections, I was actually covering words, not actions, unless I was praying that the priest choke on his words and collapse at the pulpit. That would be an action I wouldn’t miss for the world.
This week, the closest I can get to holiness is no TV, no music, no Facebook, no Twitter and no Angry Birds in the house. There will only be me and my transistor radio with the face of Clara on it. Or was it Mara? Ugh, must be the beer.

SANTOS. Doesn’t need controversy to keep herself in the limelight.

TESS Colina, televiewer: “One actress who continues to impress me is Judy Ann Santos. She rarely figures in any controversy, yet she remains one of Tinseltown’s most productive stars. I’m amazed at how she has blossomed into a beautiful woman after motherhood. I hope a good film project will come her way to once again showcase her dramatic prowess.”
