Ryan Agoncillo and wife Judy Ann Santos celebrated with a night-out after the Court of Tax Appeals dismissed on Wednesday the tax evasion case filed against her by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
“We did ! We did! Right after the acquittal we had a couple of drinks right after just to let off some steam. It was fun!” Ryan exclaimed to News5 on Friday.
Judy Ann has expressed relief and satisfaction about the dismissal of the case, telling one interviewer it felt better than getting a Best Actress award.
Naturally, Ryan is happy for her and said he and his wife are prepared to settle her P3.4 million tax deficiency as assessed by the court.
“Walang may gusto ng may kaaway. Walang may gusto ng kaso so whatever needs to be done will be done,” he declared.
Meanwhile, Ryan feels like a proud parent with the way some young contestants of his TV5 show “Talentadong Pinoy Junior” are gaining popularity and getting exposure on other networks.
“I see them everywhere — even in corporate shows!… When you lose a contest it doesn’t necessarily mean you have the worst talent. Minsan mas magaling ka pa sa nanalo,” he said.
The semifinals of “Talentadong Pinoy Junior” will be held on Sunday, and the grand finals on January 27.

Juday Dismisses Oft-Repeated Rumors Of Hubby’s Alleged Infidelity

Judy Ann Santos

MANILA, Philippines - Judy Ann Santos refuses to lend credence to persistent rumors dogging her husband, Ryan Agoncillo, who has been accused of supposedly engaging in extra-marital relations.

Apparently, she believes the malicious insinuations vacuous, if downright preposterous.

“I guess hindi mo maiaalis ang mga ganyang tsismis sa isang couple na masaya ang pagsasama,” said she, nonchalantly shrugging the matter in an interview on “The Buzz” on Sunday.

Seemingly exasperated about the accusation, which has been feeding the rumor mill since last year, Santos pointed to some ne’er-do-wells that are apparently intent on the destruction of their happy union.

“Pupukpukin at pupukpukin talaga kayo ng intriga hanggang masaya kayong dalawa,” she said.

“‘Pag naghiwalay naman kayo, pipilitin naman kayong magkabalikan. ‘Pag masaya naman kayo, pipilitin kayong paghiwalayin. Pero ako, kung saan na lang sila masaya, kung naniniwala sila sa gusto nila paniwalaan, go. Hindi ako makikipag-debate sa kanila,” she added.

In previous interviews, Santos had repeatedly denied snags in her relationship with Agoncillo because of an alleged third party.

Late last year, she went public parrying allegations that she has been closely guarding her husband because of a certain actress.

Joseph Marco says it's "surreal" to work with Judy Ann Santos in Against All Odds

--------snipped------

ON WORKING WITH JUDY ANN SANTOS. Isa nga sa mga pinaghahandaan ngayon ni Joseph ay ang teleseryeng Against All Odds na pinagbibidahan ni Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo.

"Makakasama ko iyong mga malalaking stars tulad nina Ms. Judy Ann Santos at Sam Milby, and, of course, again si Jessy Mendiola.”“Feeling ko, isa ito sa mga biggest break ko.

Tungkol saan nga ba ang teleseryeng Against All Odds?

“Well, nandun na  sa title mismo… Against All Odds.

"Para kay Ms. Judy Ann iyong istorya na parang pasan niya iyong mundo.

"Ang daming nangyaring mga bagay sa kanya, pero she will fight and parang sa kanya, everything will be okay.”

 Matagal na umanong naumpisahan ang production ng nasabing teleserye.

Ayon kay Joseph, “Nag-start na kami before ng halos one and a half months na.

"Pero, na-stop kami ng halos three months, kasi nga po may MasterChef si  Ms. Judy Ann.”

Ang tinutukoy ni Joseph ay ang programang MasterChef Pinoy Edition, hosted by Judy Ann.

Kumusta naman ang experience ni Joseph na maka-trabaho si Judy Ann, na siyang kapatid niya sa show?

“Actually, most of my scenes kasama ko si Ms. Judy Ann.

"Grabe! Sobra! It feels surreal.

"Kasi, that’s Judy Ann Santos, e, parang bata palang ako pinapanuod ko na siya, now she’s a big star. Nakaka-overwhelm.”

"Pero, alam mo iyon, she makes me feel comfortable. Parang isang pamilya lang kami sa set.

Juday, magreregalo ng van

SA Sabado (Enero 26) ang birthday ni Tito Alfie Lorenzo pero bukas ay bibigyan na siya ng party ni Mother Lily Monteverde sa poolside ng Imperial Palace Suites.

Syempre, imbitado ang mga alaga at mga kaibigan ni Tito Alfie sa kanyang birthday party.

Kabilin-bilinan ni Tito Alfie na kailangang hindi mawala ang lechon-Cebu ni Annabelle Rama sa kanyang birthday party, kaya kahapon pa lang ay kinulit ko na tungkol doon ang nanay ni Richard Gutierrez.

Nasa Cebu kasi si Bisaya kaya malamang na hindi siya makaluwas, kaya ang lechon-Cebu na lang na type na type ni Tito Alfie ang siguradong makakarating sa birthday party ng manager ni Judy Ann Santos.

Nakatsikahan ko si Tito Alfie at naikuwento niya sa akin na ‘yung van niya na nabaha ay malamang na palitan ni Juday.
Nagsabi si Juday na reregaluhan niya ng van ang kanyang manager, kaya natuwa si Tito Alfie.

Natural lang na maging generous si Juday sa ma­nager dahil bata pa lang ang young superstar ay si Tito Alfie na ang tumutulong sa kanya at pati sa kanyang Kuya Jeffrey.

74-years old na si Tito Alfie sa kanyang birthday at wala pa siyang kabalak-balak na magretiro dahil malakas pa rin siya.

  Kukwestyunin ng Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) sa Korte Suprema ang desisyon ng Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) na nag-aabswelto sa aktres na si Judy Ann Santos sa kasong tax evasion.
  
  Hindi pinatawan ng CTA si Santos ng anumang criminal liability at sa halip ay pinagbayad lang ng P3.418 bilyon para sa aspetong civil liability na kumakatawan sa kaniyang income tax deficiency at dinagdagan pa ng 20 porsyentong delinquency interest.
  
  Nanindigan si BIR Commissioner Kim Henares na nagkakaroon ng tax fraud kapag hindi naideklara ang hindi bababa sa 30 porsyento ng income tax alinsunod na rin sa National Internal Revenue Code.
  
  Sa kaso ni Santos, lagpas pa umano sa 100 porsyento ang hindi nito naideklara.
  
  Matatandaang sinampahan ng BIR si Santos ng P2.714 tax evasion case sa Department of Justice (DOJ) na nakitaan naman ang kaso ng probable cause para maiakyat ito sa tax court.

Juday, lusot sa tax evasion

Ni Reggee Bonoan

NAGPAPALINIS kami ng sasakyan noong Miyerkules ng hapon nang matanggap namin ang mensaheng ito mula sa ina ni Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo na si Mommy Carol: “Acquitted si Juday sa tax evasion case niya. Thanks to God!“

Abut-abot ang pasalamat ni Mommy Carol sa desisyong ng Court of Tax Appeals dahil walong taong dala-dala ng anak niya ang problemang ito.

“Kaya nga umiyak talaga ang j bunso ko sa phone nu’ng sinabi niya sa akin. Nandito kasi ako ngayon sa Cebu,“ kuwento pa ni Mmmy Carol sa amin.

Halos kasing-edad pala ng panganay ni Juday na si Yohan ang kaso.

“Oo nga, kanina lang ibinaba ang desisyon, after 8 long years,“ sabi niya.

Sinampahan ng tax evasion case si Judy Ann ng Bureau of Internal J Revenue noong 2002 dahil kulang daw ang idineklarang kinita niya.

Ayon sa BIR, P8.033 million lang ang idineklara ng aktres na base naman sa record ay umabot sa halagang P16.3 million ang natanggap niyang talent fees mula sa ABS-CBN, Viva Productions, Star Cinema, at product endorsements.

Ayon sa 46-page decision na pinirmahan ng third division associate justices na sina Lovell Bautista at Amelia Cotangco-Manalastas, “underdeclared“ ang mga kinita ng aktres kaya inatasan siyang magbayad ng P3.4 million para sa income tax deficiency niya noong 2002. May karagdagang 20 percent a interest para sa bawat taon bilang tax penalty at delinquency interest.

Pero mukhang hindi pa rin susuko ang BIR dahil hindi pa rin daw sila titigil sa pagsulong ng reklamo nila laban kay Judy Ann.

Sa isang statement, sinabi ng BIR, “It has always been the BIR’s position that the tax code provides the presumption of fraud in cases of underdeclaration of 30 percent. Ms. Santos’s underdeclaration exceeds 100 percent and the defense never submitted any evidence to disprove such presumption.“

Iginiit din ng BIR na ang desisyon ay salungat sa “willful blindness“ doctrine ng Court of Tax Appeals at ng Supreme Court.

Gayunpaman, umaasa ang ina ni Juday na tuluyan ng maayos ang problema ng anak sa BIR.

“Nakakatawa na nang masarap ang anak ko,“ sabi niya.

Samantala, umpisa pa lang ng 2013 ay maganda na ang pasok kay Juday dahil nag-resume na siya sa taping ng Against All Odds habang umeere ang Master Chef Pinoy Edition.

Tax court clears Judy Ann

http://www.tempo.com.ph/2013/01/tax-court-clears-judy-ann/#.UPiIlh2XKuk

Posted by Online on Jan 17th, 2013 

Manila, Philippines – The Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) dismissed yesterday the tax evasion charges filed against movie and television star Judy Ann Santos by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for insufficiency of evidence.

But the tax court ordered her to pay the BIR some P3.4 million in deficiency income tax, including interests and surcharges.

The former soap opera star sobbed silently and shed tears upon hearing the verdict read by the clerk of court of the CTA’s Third Division presided by Justice Lovell Bautista. Ms. Santos said: “thank God it was over,” as she hurriedly left the courtroom with her husband TV host Ryan Agoncillo.

In acquitting the former soap opera star of the criminal aspect of the case, the CTA said the prosecutors failed to probe beyond reasonable doubt that she intended to evade payment of correct taxes.

BIR Commissioner Kim S. Jacinto-Henares refused to make comment, saying she has not yet seen the decision. But BIR lawyers who were present during the reading of the sentence expressed dismay and said they might appeal the decision. One of the lawyers said “the BIR can appeal by certionari in the acquittal and Ms. Santos may appeal the civil liabilities.” (

Court clears Judy Ann Santos of tax evasion charges

Judy Ann Santos, hahabulin pa rin ng BIR

http://www.remate.ph/2013/01/judy-ann-santos-hahabulin-pa-rin-ng-bir/

by Jocelyn Tabangcura-Domenden

HAHABULIN at pananagutin pa rin sa kasong kriminal na tax evasion ang aktres na si Judy Ann Santos.

Ito ang tiniyak ng Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

Sa pahayag ng BIR, sinabing kanilang idudulog sa Korte Suprema ang desisyon ng Court of Tax Appelas o CTA na nagpawalang-sala sa aktres sa kaso.

“We will be filing a petition for certiorari questioning the decision on the criminal aspect”, ayon sa BIR.

Nilinaw ng ahensiya ang probisyon sa tax code na nagtatakda ng “presumption of fraud” sa mga kaso na may kinalaman sa “underdeclaration of 30-percent”.

Nabatid na ang underdeclaration ni Ms. Santos ay higit pa sa 100 percent at hindi rin umano nagsumite ng anumang ebidensiya ang kampo ng aktres upang patunayan na mali ang findings ng BIR.

“The decision likewise reverses the “willful blindness” doctrine espoused by the Court of Tax Appeals itself and affirmed by the Supreme Court,” ayon pa sa BIR.

Pinagbabayad ang aktres ng civil liability na nagkakahalaga ng P3.418 Milyon na kumakatawan sa income tax deficiency para sa taong 2002 at karagdagang 20 porsiyento bilang delinquency interest mula 2008 hanggang sa mabayaran.

BIR to contest dismissal of tax evasion charge vs Judy Ann Santos

http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/290602/economy/finance/bir-to-contest-dismissal-of-tax-evasion-charge-vs-judy-ann-santos

January 16, 2013 8:01pm

The Bureau of Internal Revenue said Wednesday that it will file a petition for certiorari regarding the Court of Tax Appeals' decision to clear actress Judy Ann Santos of tax evasion.

The CTA's dismissal of the criminal aspect of the case is a reversal of its own “willful blindness” doctrine, the BIR said in its statement.

“It has always been the BIR’s position that the tax code provides for a presumption of fraud in cases of underdeclaration of 30 percent. Ms. Santos' underdeclaration exceeds 100 percent and the defense never submitted any evidence to disprove such presumption,” the BIR's statement reads.

Santos was still ordered by the appellate court to pay P3.418 million in civil liability, representing her income tax deficiency for 2012 plus 20 percent delinquency interest computed from 2008 until fully paid.

The BIR filed the P2.714-million tax evasion case against Santos for allegedly underdeclaring her income from movies, TV shows and product endorsements. Santos declared an income of P8.033 million, solely from her ABS-CBN talent fees

Judy Ann Santos Not Guilty of Tax Evasion

by ED UMBAO on JANUARY 16, 2013

Former Kapamilya primetime princess Judy Ann Santos was already by the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA), for tax evasion. According to the decision by Third Division Associate Justices Lovell Bautista and Amelia Cotangco-Manalastas, the CTA was absolved in the tax evasion case.

The main reason why the actress has been cleared by CTA is because she only underdeclared her income. Although cleared for tax evasion, Santos was will have to pay over P3.4 Million for her income tax deficiency for the year 2002, added with an additional 20 percent interest every year as tax penalty and deliquency interest.

Judy Ann Santos case started from her alleged inaccurate declaration of income derived from her talent fees, movies and product endorsements for taxable year 2002 in her Annual Income Tax Return filed with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

ABSUWELTO na sa kasong tax evasion ang aktres na si Judy Ann Santos.

Inabswelto na nina 3rd Division Associate Justices Lovel Bautista at Amelia Cotangco-Manalastas si Juday dahil underdeclaration lamang ang nagawa ng kampo nito at hindi tax evasion.

Kaugnay nito, inatasan ng korte si Juday na magbayad ng mahigit P3.4 milyon na kakulangan nito sa ibinayad na buwis noong 2002 at 20% interes sa kada taong tax penalties at deliquency interests.

Matatandaang nag-ugat ang kaso ng aktres sa hindi tamang pagdeklara nito ng kanyang kinita sa movie at product endorsements noong taong 2002.

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) -- Actress Judy Ann Santos has been cleared of tax evasion by the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA).
In a 46-page decision penned by Third Division Associate Justice Lovell Bautista, the CTA said Santos was absolved in the tax evasion case because she only underdeclared her income.
The CTA ordered Santos to pay over P3.4 million for her income tax deficiency for the year 2002, and an additional 20 percent interest every year as tax penalty and delinquency interest.
The case against Santos stemmed from her alleged inaccurate declaration of income derived from her talent fees and movie and product endorsements for taxable year 2002 in her Annual Income Tax Return filed with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
For its part, the BIR said it will be filing a separate petition to insist on the criminal aspect of the case against Santos. Tax evasion can be penalized with imprisonment, but the CTA merely found her to have underdeclared her income.
"It has always been the BIR's position that the tax code provides the presumption of fraud in cases of underdeclaration of 30-percent. Ms. Santos' underdeclaration exceeds 100 percent and the defense never submitted any evidence to disprove such presumption," the BIR said in a statement.
The BIR further noted the decision "reverses the 'willful blindness' doctrine espoused by the Court of Tax Appeals itself and affirmed by the Supreme Court."
Meanwhile, Santos told ABS-CBN News in a phone interview that she welcomes the decision of the CTA.
“Thankful ako na maganda ang bungad ng taon sa akin, daig pa ang Best Actress award. I can finally move on wiith my life. It’s an answered prayer. First of all, nabigyan ko ng peace of mind ang nanay ko,” she said.
Santos said she is ready to pay all her dues and she is also hoping that this ordeal will be over soon.
“Wala naman po akong planong takasan ang kahit anong gustong pabayaran sa akin. Wala po kasing katapat na presyo yung peace of mind, yung katahimikan ko at ng pamilya ko. Dasal ko na lang po talaga ngayon is sana matapos na talaga ng tuluyan,” she said.

MANILA, Philippines - The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) will ask the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) to review its recent decision clearing actress Judy Ann Santos of tax evasion.

The BIR said it will file a petition for certiorari to question the CTA's decision clearing Santos of criminal liability for underdeclaring her income in 2002.

"It has always been the BIR's position that the tax code provides the presumption of fraud in cases of underdeclaration of 30%. Ms. Santos' underdeclaration exceeds 100% and the defense never submitted any evidence to disprove such presumption," the BIR said in a statement.

The BIR added that the CTA decision reverses the "willful blindness" doctrine that the Supreme Court had affirmed. The doctrine says that taxpayers can no longer blame their accountants for their fraudulent tax returns.

The CTA Third Division, in a 46-page decision, dropped the tax evasion complaint against Santos, and just ordered the actress to pay deficiency taxes.

Santos was asked to pay P3.418 million for her income tax deficiency in 2002, plus 20% interest as penalty "computed from 2008 until fully paid."

The BIR earlier said Santos underdeclared her income from talent fees, movies and product endorsements for the year based on the annual tax return she filed with the agency. - Rappler.com

BIR to appeal ruling on Judy Ann Santos tax evasion case

MANILA -- The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) said Wednesday it will appeal the decision of a Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) division that cleared actress Judy Ann Santos of tax evasion.

In a statement, the revenue agency said it will be filing a petition for certiorari with the CTA en banc questioning the decision on the criminal aspect.

Reports said Santos was found not guilty by CTA third division because she only underdeclared her income from movie projects and commercial endorsements in 2002.

However, she was ordered to pay the civil liability amounting to P3.418 million representing income tax deficiency for 2002 plus 20 percent delinquency interest computed from 2008 until fully paid.

"It has always been the BIR’s position that the tax code provides for a presumption of fraud in cases of underdeclaration of 30-percent. Ms. Santos' underdeclaration exceeds 100 percent and the defense never submitted any evidence to disprove such presumption," the BIR said.

It also scored the CTA decision for ignoring "willful blindness doctrine," where taxpayers can no longer blame their accountants for their fraudulent returns. The concept was affirmed by the Supreme Court. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

Judy Ann Santos ordered to pay P3.418-M tax deficiency

Actress Judy Ann Santos

MANILA, Philippines—Despite the dismissal of the criminal aspect of her tax evasion case, the Court of Tax Appeals ordered actress Judy Ann Santos to pay P3.418 million income tax deficiency.

In a 46-page decision issued by the Tax Court’s Third Division, it explained that the P3.418 million represents 2002 income tax deficiency plus 20 percent delinquency interest computed from 2008 until fully paid.

The Tax Court, in dismissing the criminal aspect of the case, reversed the “wilful blindness doctrine.” The doctrine means that an individual or corporation can no longer say that the errors on their tax returns are not their responsibility or that it is the fault of the accountant they hired.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), the complainant against Santos, said the doctrine has been espoused by the Tax Court and affirmed by the Supreme Court.

In a statement issued Wednesday, the BIR said they will file a petition for certiorari to question the decision on the criminal aspect.

“It has always been the BIR’s position that the tax code provides for a presumption of fraud in cases of underdeclaration of 30-percent. Ms. Santos’ underdeclaration exceeds 100 percent and the defense never submitted any evidence to disprove such presumption,” the BIR said.

The case against Santos stemmed from her alleged inaccurate Annual Income Tax Return for taxable year 2002 from earnings from television shows, movies and product endorsements. BIR investigation showed she incurred a P2.14 million tax deficiency.

Juday on the dismissal of tax evasion charges against her: 'Thank God it is over'

http://www.spot.ph/the-feed/52697/juday-on-the-dismissal-of-tax-evasion-charges-against-her-thank-god-it-is-over/

Published: Jan 17, 2013 - 10:14am

Tax evasion charges against actress Judy Ann Santos have been dimissed by the Court of Tax Appeals for lack of evidence, but she still has to pay P3.4 million in back taxes.

Jun Ramirez of the Manila Bulletin reports the CTA ruled that prosecutors were not able to suffiiciently prove that Santos intended to cheat on her taxes.

The charges were filed in 2005 by then Bureau of Internal Revenue commissioner Guillermo Parayno after Santos allegedly failed to declare all her earnings in 2002. The actress said her taxes had been computed with the help of a certified public accountant and that she paid her taxes "with professional guidance and assistance."

The BIR could still appeal the decision and Santos still has to pay millions in taxes.

"The former soap opera star sobbed silently and shed tears upon hearing the verdict read by the clerk of court of the CTA’s Third Division presided by Justice Lovell Bautista. Santos told the Manila Bulletin 'thank God it is over,' as she hurriedly left the courtroom with her husband, TV host Ryan Agoncillo," the report said.

Judy Ann Santos reveals one valuable marriage tip: "As time goes by kasi, you will learn to choose your battles, e. Before kasi, konting kibot, konting ganyan, may issue kaagad...."

Paano kaya ang maging isang Judy Ann Santos kapag walang nakatutuok na camera?

Isa ito sa mga tinalakay sa ikatlong bahagi ng panayam ng section editors ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na sina Monching Jaramillo at Demai Granali kay Judy Ann.

Kasama rin sa mga napag-usapan ang kanyang pagiging mabuting anak, paano siya magtampo, ang isa sa pinakamatinding kontrobersiya na hinarap niya, sino ang mga best friends niya sa showbiz, at ang kanyang sikreto sa patuloy niyang pagningning sa mundo ng showbiz.

Ngunit bago ang lahat, narito ang sagot ni Juday sa tanong tungkol sa pagpapatibay ng relasyon niya sa kanyang asawang si Ryan Agoncillo.

Juday: “Ano nga ba? Well, siguro yung mas maging patient sa isa’t isa and as time goes by kasi, you will learn to choose your battles, e. Before kasi konting kibot, konting ganyan, may issue kaagad.

“Ngayon parang mas na-appreciate na lang namin yung magkasama kami na walang issue, yung ganyan. Naniniwala kasi ako na ang pagiging mag-asawa is a work in progress.

“Hanggang maghiwalay kayo bilang as individuals... hindi naman maghiwalay, namatay na kayo ganyan, pinag-aaralan niyo pa rin ang isa’t isa hanggang sa siyempre yung proseso na nag-school na yung mga bata, yung nagtatrabaho kayo. Palagi kayo may learning na nangyayare every year, every month, every day, every week.

“Siguro, mas natuto na lang kami maging relaxed sa relationship namin. Yung wala na masyadong expectations. We just live for the moment, kung ano na lang yung nandiyan, bahala na lang si Lord, basta i-enjoyin na lang namin siya.”

Monching: “Kung dati, kung magtampo ka raw, parang nagpapaparlor ka na lang, lumalayas ka muna sa bahay, nagpapaganda. Ngayon, pa’no ka magtampo?”

Juday: “Ay, nag-go-grocery ako kasi matagal yung parlor, may five [or] three hours ka diyan.

"E, yung grocery, three hours lang, gtwo hours nga lang tapos, nagluluto na lang ako buong maghapon sa bahay so ang dami naming ulam.”

MOMMY CAROL. Ang pagiging ina at asawa ay isang learning process para kay Juday. At ang kanyang teacher...

Juday: “Alam mo, totoo yung kasabihan na ano… yung kapag, ma-appreciate mo yung nanay mo pag nag-asawa ka na.”

Demai: “Pag nanay ka na rin…”

Juday: “Oo, naaalala ko ‘yan si Mommy [Carol], tinatalakan ako niyan pag dalaga ako, ‘Hay nako, maiintindihan mo ako pag nanay ka na,’ and that was ten years ago.

“Gosh, ang tanda ko na.”

Tumawa ang lahat sa hirit na ito ni Juday.

Demai: “Hindi naman halata, in fairness.”

Juday: “Nung naisip ko, parang nalungkot ako, 10 years ago.”

Monching: “Bakit?”

Juday: “24 [years old] lang ako n’on.”

Monching: “Mukha ka namang 23 ngayon…”

Juday: “Yieeee… Susmaryosep, Merry Christmas…

“Hindi, sobra kong nava-value talaga yung pagiging disciplinarian ni Mommy sa amin. Yung times na she would tell us na, ‘Kayo, sana maintindihan niyo kung bakit ako ganito ka-istrikto sa inyo. Isipin niyo kung ano ginawa niyo sa Nanay niyo, ganyan ang gagawin ng mga anak niyo sa inyo.’

“Ay, kaya ingat na ingat ako sa mga issue namin ni Mommy lalo pa’t ang panganay ko, babae. Nakakaloka! So ano naman...

“Lalo na ngayon si Mommy, talagang maaasahan mo talaga siya pag halimbawa may piano lessons si Yohan, may voice lessons si Yohan, dadalhin si Lucho sa school, tapos wala kami ni [Ryan], ora-orada nasa bahay agad ‘yan.

“Or kaya may sakit yung dalawang bata, lahat agad ite-text niyan, ‘O anak, kamusta na sila? Pinainom mo na ba ng gamot?’

"Nakakatuwa, parang yung relationship namin ni Mommy ngayon, compared to before, para kaming magkabarkada kung pa’no kami mag-usap, kung pa’no kami lumabas. Mas ano kami, mas relaxed.”

Monching: “Tsaka balita nga namin kunyare may trip si Mommy Carol, parang ikaw pa yung nagbabayad nung makakasama niya, yung plane tickets ng makakasama, may makasama lang siya…”

Juday: “May mga moments naman na ganun pero actually, si Mommy, mas gusto nga niya na siya lang. Pero may mga times naman din na may mga kaibigan siyang nakakasama.

“Yun naman yung prinomise ko sa kanya na ilang taon siyang nagtrabaho abroad, tapos nung kumikita na ako, sabi ko, ‘Retire ka [Mommy Carol] na, dito ka na lang sa amin and go see the world, you deserve it.’ Di ba? Pag-iipunan natin ‘yan paunti-unti, hindi nga lang every month, di ba? Siguro mga once a year, once in two years, basta kaya ko, ibibigay ko sa kanya kasi deserve niyang mag-relax, deserve niyang mag-enjoy.

“Deserve niya yun, e, kasi tatlo kaming anak na pinalaki niya at trinabaho niya talaga na maging maayos na magulang at tao habang nandiyan siya.

YOUNG SUPERSTAR. Hindi naging madali ang tinahak na daan ni Juday upang maabot kung saan man siya naroroon ngayon. Kaya naman, tinanong siya ng mga hosts kung ano ang sikreto ni Juday sa patuloy na pagtatag ng kaniyang career sa showbiz."So I feel sa bawat anak ano, you deserve to give your parents something. It’s pay back time, yun nga yung sinasabi nila, it’s pay back time, you give them, what they deserve.”

Demai: “Yung buhay celebrity, paano ba siya? Madali ba?”

Juday: “Hindi ko rin alam, paano ba?”

Monching: “Kasi parang ang ayus-ayos mo. Kung kelan ka nag-asawa 'tsaka parang nabalanse mo, mas gumanda ka, basta mas umayos lahat.”

Juday: “Monch, kilala mo naman ako simula’t sapul…”

Monching: “Oo naman…”

Juday: “Hindi naman ako naging artista na, I mean ibig kong sabihin, hindi naman ako umaarte sa harapan ng ibang tao. I mean, kung ano yung ipapakita ko, yun na talaga ako.

“Meron naman din akong ugali na kapag may nakita akong tao na hindi ko siya type, hindi ko talaga siya type, may ganun naman din akong ugali.”

Monching: “'Tsaka siya, usually kasi parang walang entourage. It’s either dalawa lang sila ni Nonong [Jeronaga] o tatlo sila nila Jane [Buencamino].”

Juday: “Ganun lang, e, at saka sila lang naman talaga yung core group ko. Wala na akong ibang barkada maliban sa mga staff ko and…

“Paano ba maging isang Judy Ann Santos? Sino ba yung Judy Ann Santos?”

Natawa ang lahat sa hirit na ito ni Juday.

Monching: “Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo na kasi ngayon kaya hindi mo na kilala si Judy Ann…”

“Oo, maganda ang kita sa trabahong ito kaya mas inalagaan ko siya. Hindi naman ako magpapakaplastik sa pagsabing alangan namang sabihin kong konti lang ang kita dito, e, bakit nandito pa ako, di ba?Juday: “Siguro kapagka... hindi kasi naman nakaplano ‘tong ginawa ko, e. Nangyare lang siya, nagkataon na na-enjoy ko siya, inalagaan ko siya.

“In reality and practicality, kung may gusto kang isang trabaho na gusto mo makaipon kaagad, yes pag-aartista yun. Pero ang kapalit naman nun is you have to work have for it. Kailangan mo i-earn yung trust nung tao, kailangan mong makisama nang husto, ng totoong pakikisama hindi yung nakikipagplastikan ka.

“Umaarte ka sa harapan ng camera, hindi mo rin naman gugustuhin pag nasa likod ng camera, aarte ka pa rin. Nakakapagod naman yun parang arte ka nang arte, ang arte!

"Arte-arte mo na, di ba, [so] parang maghahanap ka ng tunay na buhay, maghahanap ka ng simplicity in life, and I just happen to have that simplicity with my friends.

“Yung I enjoy my time with them, I enjoy having a massage with my mom, my sister, and I enjoy being alone. Simple things make me happy. Ngayon na nga lang nagkaroon ng mga branded na bagay-bagay, dati naman wala. Cardam’s okay na, ngayon kailangan may Louboutin ka, yung ganung…”

Monching: “So, Louboutin ito?”

Juday: “Hindi ko alam, hindiram ko lang ‘yan.

“Sana simple na lang ang buhay, yung ganun.”

Demai: “Pero ano po yung mga bagay po na parang nakakapagpa-down sa ‘yo?”

Juday: “Meron, oo, kapag siyempre kapag nagkakaroon ka ng issues with friends. I mean, pag may itinuturing ka talaga na tunay na kaibigan at nagkaroon kayo ng slight misunderstanding na nakakalungkot kasi pag nagtrato ako ng kaibigan, kaibigan talaga ‘yan na I will fight for you ‘til death pero kapag nasira naman yung trust ko sa ‘yo, asahan mong hindi ko na maibabalik yun.

“Maibalik man, matagal na panahon, poprosesuhin ko siya, hihimayin ko siya isa’t isa kasi I invested too much emotion, e. Parang I invested my life on you already and then nagkakaroon tayo ng ganyang issue. I care for my friends truly deeply. Ganun talaga akong tao siguro.”

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER. Tungkol sa pagkakaibigan, tinanong ng mga hosts si Juday kung sinu-sino nga ba sa showbiz ang maituturing niyang mga tunay na kaibigan.

Monching: “... sino mako-consinder mo ngayon na top 5 na mga kaibigan mo?”

Demai: “Pinaka-close mo…”

Juday: “Showbiz?”

Monching: “Showbiz pero friends mo na hindi nagpapaka-showbiz…”

Juday: “Mylene [Dizon], Gladys [Reyes]. Andiyan si Iza Calzado, andiyan si Agot [Isidro].

“Sino pa ba?

“Jolina [Magdangal], once in a while, though hindi naman din kami masyado nagkikita at hindi naman nagkakatextan pero sila talaga yung masasabi mong di man kayo magkita, di man kayo mag-usap, alam mong pag nagkita kayo, mahaba, marami kayong mapag-uusapan pero walang issue kahit di kayo nagkikita, walang issue kung hindi kayo nakakapagtextan. Parang naiintindihan niyo na lang na, ‘O may sari-sarili na tayong buhay, wag na tayong magpaka-ano na noh. Wag na tayong magpakabagets ba dito.’”

Monching: “Ito rin ba yung mga top 5 friends na pag kailangan mo sila, e, nandiyan sila?”

Juday: “Oo, ang masasabi ko, ito yung mga tao na pag may tinanong ka, alam mong sa inyo lang yung mga pinag-uusapan niyo. Hindi siya lalabas, hindi siya mapapag-usapan nang wala ka. Of course kasama diyan si Ga [Dante Garcia], si Joy, si Jane [Buencamino], si Anna [Dasig]. Si Beth [Tamayo], tama ka ng sinulat…”

Monching: “Kasi narinig namin na ano, tinutulungan mo yung Mommy niya sa pagpapagamot, merong Lymphoma, ano yung kwento…”

Juday: “Actually, she’s [mom of Beth] okay na, she’s undergoing some therapies now and I think she [Beth] wants to be quiet about it kasi hindi naman lahat ng tao, e, welcome sa pakikipag-usap sa ano, nararamdaman nila di ba lalo pa’t recent ano mo lang na-discover kung ano talaga yung nangyayare.

"So I made naman a promise to Beth na even before she left, I told her na ‘Sige Ka Beth, habang wala ka dito, ako muna ang bahala sa kanila,’ kung ano yung hanggang kaya kong maitutulong sa kanila, itutulong ko.”

Sa bahaging ito nagsimula ang mga tanong tungkol sa matinding kontrobersiyang kinaharap ni Juday sa kanyang showbiz career.

Monching: “Meron ka bang hindi kinayang controversy ever? Although, nalampasan mo naman kasi nandito ka pa pero yung pinakamatinding….

Juday: “Pinakamatindi siguro…”

Demai: “Yung talaga iniyakan ninyo, ikinasama talaga ng loob niyo.”

“At saka batang bata pa ako nun, napaka-vulnerable ko, napaka-sensitive ko tapos araw-araw din ako nagtatrabaho so, alam mo yung parang gusto mo na lang mawala at ayaw mo na mag-artista para na lang matapos yung issue kasi you’re torn, e.Juday: “Siguro, matagal na yun yung kay Mommy 'tsaka kay tito Alfie [Lorenzo]. Matagal na matagal na matagal na matagal na matagal na yun. Para kasing ang hirap kapag naipit ka sa gitna ng dalawang taong mahal na mahal mo at dalawang taong napakalaki at ang tindi ng... lalo na si tito Alfie, ang tindi ng ano niya sa show business.

“Nanay ko ‘tong pinag-uusapan natin tapos manager tapos pera tapos ipit ka sa gitna. Ayaw mong may masaktan pero at the end of the day, si tito Alfie din yung nagsabi sa akin na, ‘Alam mo kung hindi mo kinampihan yung Nanay mo, magagalit ako sa ‘yo.’

"Siya naman yung nagsabi sa akin nun so at least naging okay na rin sila ni Mommy, naging civil na rin naman sila.

“Iniisip ko baka kailangan ko rin talaga siyang pagdaanan kasi para alam ko rin kung paano ko protektahan yung sarili ko sa mga intriga na ganyan. Siguro dun nagsimula yung pagiging matabil ko sa pagsagot.

“Yung naging matapang ako, naging wala na lang akong pakialam sa sasabihin ng tao, tutal magsabi ka ng totoo, magsabi ka ng hindi, may masasabi sila so magsasabi na lang ako ng totoo. Kung may masaktan, e, di pasensiya, at least sinabi ko yung totoo, ganun na lang.”

Dito nagtapos ang isa sa mga pina-honest na interview ng Young Superstar, na kahit pa marami na siyang pinagdaanan sa showbiz, nanatiling totoong tao siya sa likod ng kamera.
