MANILA, Philippines -- Actress Judy Ann Santos, who has started working on her upcoming series "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala," expressed her support to comedienne Ai Ai delas Alas.
In an emotionalinterview with "The Buzz" on Sunday, delas Alas accused husband Jed Salang of physical abuse, as she confirmed that she left him on May 2 -- just almost a month after their wedding in Las Vegas.
Santos said she feels sad for her friend.
"I don't know Jed personally and I have nothing else to say to him. It's just that really sad na ang isang love story na pinangarap ng isang tao, all of the sudden biglang nawala. Sana talaga ay walang ganoon," Santos told reporters on Wednesday during the pictorial of her upcoming series, which promotes women empowerment.
"Sana hindi umaabot ang lalaki sa puntong kailangang pagbuhatan ng kamay ang babae, asawa, anak, nanay o sino man kasi hindi dapat nagkakasakitan ang mga taong nagmamahalan," she added.
Santos, who was last seen on TV hosting "MasterChef Pinoy Edition," said she is dedicating her newest soap to all women who have suffered like delas Alas.
"Nagkataon lang talaga. Hindi naman ito talaga patungkol sa sitwasyon ni Miss Ai. Mahal namin siya and we are all here for her. Nagkataon lang na ito ang naging tema ng teleserye namin. Sana sa paglabas nitong soap na pinaghandaan namin ay marami kaming mahikayat na kababaihan na ipaglaban ang sarili nila," Santos said.
"Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" tells the story of Anessa, a battered wife who will do everything to be free from her husband and to protect her child.
The 'queen' is back
In the interview, Santos said she is excited about "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala," which is her first telserye since "Habang May Buhay" in 2010.
"Sa totoo sobrang mas 'yung kaba, 'yung tuwa, nakaka-overwhelm at pressure. Wala ng stress, much more on nakaka-tense kasi iniisip mo kung ano ang magiging reaction ng tao mo after a long time," says Santos.
The actress admitted that she agreed to do the series to inspire women to fight for their rights.
"Marami kasing consideration kapag nawala ka kasi nasanay ang tao na may ka-loveteam ka at romantic ang teleserye. Ngayon ang story ay about women empowerment. Ipapakita namin sa tao na ang babae hindi sinasaktan at ang babae marunong lumaban basta nasa tama ang ipaglalaban niya," she said.
"At para makapagboost ka ng pakiramdam ng isang babae na hindi porke asawa ka ay basta ka na lang papayag sa nangyayari lalo't naapi ka na. Maraming makaka-relate na mga babae dito," she added.
Santos said the series also encourages women to be physically fit.
"Ipapakita ang self defense at 'yung nangyayari ngayon sa mga kababaihan sa kabuuan. Isa 'yon sa nagpapayag sa akin ...Ako kasi gusto ko 'yung active ako sa soap, gusto ko 'yung gumagalaw. Dito ay napag-usapan namin na ayaw naming maging teleserye siya na puro iyakan," she said.
For the series, Santos will undergo martial arts training.
"May iti-take up kaming martial arts pero hindi pa namin alam. Basta it's all about self-defense kung paano mo i-defend sarili mo na walang armas," said Santos, who is into boxing.
"Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" will air its pilot episode on June 17 on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida block.
