Judy Ann Santos prefers to do one project at a time

"Very emotional din naman itong show na 'to e," says Judy Ann Santos, referring to her new show, Junior Master Chef Pinoy Edition.
"Kung minsan nga mas pagod pa akong umuuwi sa bahay kesa sa teleserye kasi talagang the whole time, nakatutok kami sa mga bata. Kung may umiyak man, andiyan ako agad, nakasalo ako. Nakatayo ka buong maghapon na naka-heels ka, so parang sa aspetong iyon nahihirapan ako. Pero masaya, masayang-masaya kasi  natututo ako sa mga bata," she adds.

Ngayong host siya ng Junior Master Chef Pinoy Edition ng ABS-CBN 2, hindi naman raw nangangahulugan na tatalikuran na ni Judy Ann Santos ang paggawa ng mga teleserye.

Sa katunayan, may mga offers siyang gumawa muli ng mga drama shows.

"Oo naman, oo naman, meron naman, meron naman. May mga offers din naman ang ABS, yun nga lang tinatantiya ko rin yung time, yung taping schedule, yung hangga't maaari isa-isa lang muna," ang kwento ni Judy Ann sa PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

"Mahirap kasi pagka pinagsabay-sabay tapos wala ka na ring oras sa bahay, wala ka na ring oras sa pamilya and at the same time, hindi mo na nagagawa nang maayos yung trabaho mo kasi lugami ka na sa iba mo pang pinagdaanang trabaho!

"So as much as possible yung gusto ko, one step at a time, slowly, but surely ba.

"Very emotional din naman itong show na 'to e," says Judy Ann, referring to Junior Master Chef Pinoy Edition.

"Kung minsan nga mas pagod pa akong umuuwi sa bahay kesa sa teleserye kasi talagang the whole time, nakatutok kami sa mga bata. Kung may umiyak man, andiyan ako agad, nakasalo ako. Nakatayo ka buong maghapon na naka-heels ka, so parang sa aspetong iyon nahihirapan ako.

"Pero masaya, masayang-masaya kasi  natututo ako sa mga bata."

RYAN'S APPROVAL. Lahat nga ba ng mga projects na tatanggapin niya ay kailangang may approval ng mister niyang si Ryan Agoncillo?

"Hindi naman, hindi naman. In fairness dun naman sa asawa ko, wala naman yung...  kahit  noon, at hanggang ngayon, kung ano yung mga tinatanggap naming trabaho pagdating sa career namin wala namang problema. Ano lang, time management lang talaga ang dapat."

Hindi nila pinapakialaman ang isa't-isa pagdating sa trabaho.

"Siyempre sasabihin mo na may gagawin ka pero pagka halimbawa lang din... kasi naniniwala kami, bilang individual na artista... may sarili din kaming diskarte pagdating sa mga projects na tinatanggap.

"We never talk about work pag nasa bahay kami, not unless kailangan talagang ikonsulta, halimbawa meron akong hindi alam o meron akong dinadala na something, iyon sasabihin ko na sa kanya.

"Pero hangga't maaari ayaw naming dinadala sa bahay ang trabaho kasi bahay iyon e, it's supposed to be your family na pinagtutuunan mo ng pansin and not work."

Masaya si Judai na hindi magkakatapat ang mga shows nilang mag-asawa. Parehong tuwing Sabado napapanood ang mga shows nila, pero sa magkaibang time slot.

"Kasi siyempre gusto rin naming mapanood ng mga tao yung mga shows namin, di ba? And respeto rin sa show ni Ryan. Nauna naman talaga ang Talentadong Pinoy, parang hindi  naman din tamang pagtapatin kami.

"Iba ang tema ng show niya at iba ang tema ng show ko, gusto ko mapanood ng mga tao parehong shows."

Naitanong kay Judy Ann, halimbawang mag-offer ang TV5 sa kanya ng projects...

"Kasi nakakontrata pa ako sa ABS, sa pagkakaalam ko, hanggang 2012."

GOOD TAXPAYER. Top 100 na taxpayer siya last year sa BIR.

"Ano, may kaso o ano," ang tumatawang reaksyon ni Judai.

Mas mahigpit daw ngayon ang BIR sa mga celebrities pagdating sa taxes.

"May ihihigpit pa ba? Hindi ba mahigpit na? Ah well, sa aking palagay, tama lang naman na lahat tayo, magbayad ng mga taxes natin, hindi ba? Obligasyon natin yun bilang mga artista at bilang mga nagtatrabaho sa Pilipinas.

"Kung may ihihigpit pa, abisuhan ninyo po kami para malaman namin, para hindi na po madagdagan ang mga kaso, mahirap kasi yung walang abiso.

"Sana lang po huwag naman sanang masamain, kung may ihihigpit pa, makita lang sana namin kung saan napupunta yung mga binabayad, di ba, para masarap magbayad ng taxes. Yung nakikita mong may pinupuntahan yung pinagtatrabahuhan mo kasi hindi mo naman pinupulot ang pera, e."

Hindi pa tapos ang dating kaso ni Judai sa BIR.

"Ay hindi pa ayos, hindi pa. Nag-uusap pa rin kami, hindi pa hindi pa."

Pero last year ay kasali na siya sa list ng good taxpayers.

"Nakakatuwa, di ba? Pero may kaso ako. Nakakatuwa, di ba?"

Nasa ABS na rin si Robin Padilla; willing ba si Judy Ann na makatrabaho ulit ang action star? Nagkasama sila dati sa serye ng Dos na Basta't Kasama Kita.

"Well, sa palagay ko, hindi ko na yata kayang mag-action. Ako ang masasabi ko lang, yung journey ko bilang artista, halos nagawa ko lahat bago ako magpakasal.

"Parang right timing, yung hindi ko na sila hahanapin pagka nag-asawa ako, nanganak ako... yung hindi ko puwedeng sabihin sa sarili ko na, 'Ay hindi ko nagawa ito, dapat ginawa ko ito.'

"Wala, nagawa ko lahat; nakapag-action ako, naging superhero ako, nagkaroon ako ng album, nag-concert ako sa Araneta.

"Yung... nakakatawa, karamihan ng ginawa ko, 'Talaga lang ha? Makapal ang apog mo ha, ginawa mo yan, ha!'

"Pero it's all about having fun in whatever you do.

"Pero sa palagay ko pag nag-action ako ngayon, baka naman pagtawanan  na ako ng mga tao," natatawang pahayag ng aktres.

"Okay na ako. Kung sakaling dumating yung panahon na yun [ang muling pagtatambal nila ni Robin] bakit hindi? Mapag-uusapan naman lahat yun."

Okay kay Ryan yun?

"I guess so, oo naman."

NEXT LEADING MAN. Sino sa palagay niya ang puwede pa niyang maging leading man sa isang teleserye?

"Maaaring Jericho [Rosales], John Lloyd [Cruz]."

Si Coco Martin?

"Si Coco! Pero magtatambal kasi kami sa pelikula. Sino pa?

"Maraming-maraming magagaling ngayon e, ang daming mahuhusay na artista ngayon."

Speaking of her movie with Coco, hindi nga ito tuloy this year sa pagsali sa Metro Manila Film Festival. At okay lang naman ito kay Judy Ann.

"Kasi di ba pag Metro Manila Filmfest marami kayong pelikulang sabay-sabay. Baka itong pelikula namin ni Coco nararapat lang yata na... o baka, baka lang, baka naman iba ang dating sa tao ng nararapat... baka mas magandang ipalabas siya ng siya lang kasi maganda yung istorya. Pagkabasa ko ng script ang ganda!"

Open ba si Judy Ann sa muling pagtatambal nila ni Piolo Pascual?

"Ang sabi ko, ang lahat ng bagay, madadaan sa maayos na usapan."

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo on weight issue being hurled against her: "Bigyan n'yo ako ng time!"

 
"Hindi naman po nabibili itong pagpapapayat ng buy one, take one. Bigyan n'yo lang po ako ng time. Hindi ko nga kayo pine-pressure na maging mabait, e. Huwag niyo akong i-pressure na pumayat," says Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo to her detractors who continuously hit her about her weight.

Sa tagal na ni Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo sa show business, natutunan na umano niyang ipagkibit-balikat ang anumang mapanirang komento tungkol sa kanya, lalo na ang tungkol sa kanyang katawan.

Matatandaan na noong dalaga pa lamang siya, naging tampulan na ng pangungutya ang aktress dahil sa kanyang pangangatawan. Nabawasan naman ito nang unti-unti rin siyang magbawas ng timbang.

Subalit muling nabaling ang atensiyon ng tao sa kanyang katawan nang ipagbuntis at naipanganak niya ang unang anak nila ni Ryan Agoncillo na si Lucho.

Sa press conference ng bago niyang TV show, ang Junior Masterchef, inamin ni Judy Ann na nagdalawang-isip siya noong una na lumabas agad sa publiko dahil sa pagdagdag ng kanyang timbang.

Subalit hindi umano siya nagpatalo rito.

Sa halip, aniya, "Inisip ko, magpapapayat na lang ako sa harap ng mga tao.

"Iniisip ko kasi noong una, sa totoo lang, ayaw ko rin naman talagang lumabas na malaking-malaki ako.

"Alam ko na, alam ko na kung anu-anong batikos ang maririnig ko.

"Pero iniisip ko, sige, haharapin ko na lang lahat ito.

"Haharapin ko lahat ng sasabihin nila, para mas ma-encourage akong magpapayat."

"NASANAY NA AKO." Tulad ng iba pang artista, isa ring biktima si Judy Ann ng mga mapanirang komento ng mga tao sa iba't ibang showbiz websites.

"Napakaraming nakarating sa akin at napakaraming kong nabasa!" sabi ni Judy Ann.

Sa halip na mainis, inisip na lang umano ni Judy Ann na, "Hindi mo naman kailangang i-please ang lahat ng tao, e.

"At saka siguro, nasanay na rin ako na mula pagkabata, ang tawag naman sa akin, e, siopao, monay, aparador... May bago pa ba akong puwedeng marinig?

"Nasanay na ako. Hindi na bago sa akin 'yong mga ganyang bagay."

Hinirit din ni Judy Ann, "Sa totoo lang naman, kahit gaano ka kagaling umarte, kahit gustung-gusto mo nang magpapayat...

"Ang mga Pilipino kasi, makapanglait lang, manlalait, e, di ba?"

"BIGYAN N'YO AKO NG TIME." Dahil napatunayan na rin ni Judy Ann na kaya niyang magpapayat at alagaan ang pangangatawan, sinisiguro niyang magagawa ulit niya ito.

"Ginagawa ko naman po ang lahat, e. Bigyan n'yo lang po ako ng time!" natatawang sabi ni Judy Ann, na mula 168 lbs matapos manganak ay naging 138 lbs na lamang. (CLICK HERE to read related article.)

Pabiro pang ipinakiusap ni Judy Ann, "Hindi naman po nabibili itong pagpapapayat ng buy one, take one.

"Bigyan n'yo lang po ako ng time.

"Hindi ko nga kayo pine-pressure na maging mabait, e.

"Huwag n'yo akong i-pressure na pumayat."

"EASY LANG SA PAGBATIKOS." Sa huli, naging seryoso na ang aktres na nakiusap sa publiko na maghinay-hinay lang sa pagbibigay ng mga negatibong komento sa kahit sino.

Paliwanag niya, "Although ako, naa-appreciate ko 'yong ibang panlalait, kasi it makes me a better person and it makes me much stronger.

"Pero sa iba, parang below the belt na, e.

"Sabi nga nila, sa bawat obesity ng ibang tao, mayroong istorya sa likuran niya.

"Puwedeng alamin niyo muna ang istorya nila bago kayo magsalita?

"Kasi, baka pinapalalim natin 'yong sugat ng tao.

"Medyo maging sensitive lang ng slight."

At kung sakaling magpatuloy pa rin ang paninira ng tao tungkol sa kanyang pangangatawan, ito naman ang sagot ni Judy Ann:

"Ang sa akin lang, ang puwede ko lang sigurong maisagot sa mga taong bumabatikos, sana huwag silang magsalita ng mga hindi magagandang bagay sa ibang tao, kahit hindi artista.

"Mapataba o ano pa man, tumingin muna sila sa salamin.

"Tingnan muna nila ang sarili nila kung perfect sila.

"Kasi, wala namang ginawa ang Diyos na perfect na tao, e.

"Maaaring maganda at sexy sila, pero hindi naman maganda ang ugali nila.

"Easy-easy lang sa pagbabatikos."

Now serving: Kids in the kitchen

Philippine Daily Inquirer

Two young contestants in the TV show “Junior MasterChef Australia” (photo: abc.net.au)

Knives, hot stoves and children do not a good combination make. But  two local television shows are out to  break this perception and encourage parents to let loose their kids in the kitchen.
GMA’s “Amazing Cooking Kids” and ABS-CBN’s “Junior Masterchef” pit young chefs against each other in a competition for kitchen supremacy, as they plan, execute and plate gastronomic delights.
“ACK” is an original concept brought to life by GMA, while “JMC” is a local take on a successful international franchise. But both reality cooking competitions take advantage of the Filipinos’ love for food and their affinity with kids on television.
Actress Carmina Villaroel, “ACK” host, tells SIM how appropriate the show’s title is because “the kids are really amazing. I couldn’t believe they’re such great cooks. I’ve learned a lot from them just by watching how they move around the kitchen.”
“JMC” host Judy Ann Santos echoes this sentiment. “They already know a lot of techniques that I only got to learn when I took culinary arts,” exclaims the actress.  “Another thing that surprised me was how the kids come up with names for their dishes. They’re names you’d associate with a fine dining restaurant,” she adds.
But no matter how good they are, the young chefs must face the day of recknoning when one of them gets eliminated.  This, Villaroel and Santos admit, is the most difficult role they assume in the shows. Telling children they are no longer part of the competition pains them both, but the two actresses reveal that their experiences as former child stars help them cope with this challenge.  Being mothers now doesn’t hurt either.

They have to be extra careful when delivering the bad news to the kids and must help the youngsters accept their fate, the two women add.
“I’m a touchy person, so I hug and console them. I tell them it’s still okay and it’s not the end of the world,” Villaroel shares.
Santos explains: “I’m extra sensitive in dealing with these kids because I know that whatever I tell them now, they will bring with them until they grow up. I don’t want them to be bitter towards me when they become adults.”
“ACK” production manager Jenny Corcuera-Reyes tells SIM that they provide counseling to the eliminated kids. A child psychologist is always on standby to cushion the blow.
The program’s chef-judges also approach the parents to tell them why their children failed to advance to the next round.
“JMC” director Connie Macatuno  cites communication as key in making both children and parents accept the elimination and to understand that this does not mean an end to the  kids’ culinary ambitions.
“As in everything else, it’s also about the timing. Maybe it’s not yet the time for the kid to excel,” says Macatuno, a mother herself.
The  adults on the set are expected as well to mind  their manners, she adds.  The use of foul words and gay lingo on the set is prohibited. “We have to set the example to these kids. They look up to us,” she explains.
Other than the psychological and emotional support showered on the kids, the two competitions also employ other measures to make the programs more kid-friendly.
Chef Rosebud Benitez, one of the judges in “ACK,” says the young competitors are given ceramic knives “so they don’t have to apply more pressure in using it. It helps in reducing the risk of using knives.”
And though most chefs prefer using conventional gas stoves, kids in “ACK” use electric stoves “because they are safer,” adds Chef GV Barlao. Chef Jackie Ang-Po, meanwhile, says training the kids in handling cooking implements also reduces the risks that come with cooking.
But all three chefs agree that adult supervision is  very important to make  cooking safe for kids.
Lauren Dyogi, ABS-CBN’s business unit head handling “JMC,” stresses the same point.
Aside from having  safer induction cookers for use in the show, Dyogi advises parents about the need for constant guidance as the children’s best protection in the kitchen.
Dyogi laments the exodus of parents abroad as OFWs, making it more difficult for children to explore the kitchen, which is now dominated by househelp and nannies.
Villaroel recalls helping her grandmother prepare cookies when she was a young girl. Benitez, meanwhile, recounts feeling obligated to help in the kitchen as a kid.
“It felt more of a chore so I really didn’t enjoy it that much,” the TV chef quips. Make kitchen chores enjoyable to encourage children to participate in cooking, she suggests.

“JMC” judge Chef Rolando Laudico finds it very Filipino to have children helping out in the kitchen.  “Everything’s happening in the kitchen. People are there to have a good time and social interactions.” He adds: “The kitchen is one area of the house where you’ll see everyone, from kids to lolos and lolas.”
Parents should encourage their children to explore their fields of interest, whatever that may be, including culinary arts, says Santos. “There’s more to life than just playing computers, PSP or Facebook,” she adds.
Ang-Po, meanwhile, advises   parents to take their children to restaurants and not just to fastfood joints, “to make the children familiar with a wide range of cuisine.”
With the wealth of dining and learning options readily available to parents and their kids, the people behind “ACK” and “JMC” believe that the two reality cooking shows can help push a culinary revolution among children.
“We hope to inspire not only children, but also their parents, to hone their cooking skills,” says Reyes.
Says Dyogi:  “The confidence that the kids gain from their (TV) exposure could lead them into thinking that their lives can change with the simple act of cooking.”
“ACK” has already wrapped up its first season, while “JMC” is set to air in August.

Judy Ann Santos hopes she won’t disappoint viewers as host of ‘Junior MasterChef: Pinoy Edition’

After focusing on family duties, Judy Ann Santos is now back to work as host for the new ABS-CBN reality show Junior MasterChef: Pinoy Edition. In an interview with Push.com.ph on the JMC set, the actress talked about how happy she is every time she gets to be with the kiddie contestants. “Napakagagaling ng lahat ng mga kiddie cooks. Makikita mong salang-sala talaga, from Top 60, at ngayon may Top 20 na. Kahit halos lahat kami e marunong nang magluto, may mga bago pa rin kaming natututunan from these kids. This is a never ending discovery for all of us.”

As part of her preparations for her hosting job for JMC, Judy Ann watched the Australian version of the program. When she finally saw the kitchen set up for the Pinoy version of JMC, she was almost speechless.

However, the biggest challenge for the Young Superstar in JMC was doing the spiels. She talked about how her first taping day went. “Nung first taping day at first time kong makita ‘yung mga bata, sobra ‘yung kaba ko na hindi ko ma-explain. Parang gusto kong magbanyo nang ilang beses sa sobrang tensed. Pakiramdam ko maduduwal ako sa sobrang kaba. Masakit ang tiyan ko, nanginginig ako. Para akong nagle-labor, ha ha ha!”

Judy Ann vowed that she would do her best and continue learning the craft of hosting so as not to disappoint the ABS-CBN management and most importantly the viewers. “Aminado naman akong hindi ko talaga linya ang hosting. Pero willing talaga akong matutunan ito kasi, sino ba naman ako para mamili ng trabaho? Itong ibinigay na proyekto sa akin ng ABS-CBN, hindi lang dapat career, dapat career-in mo nang bonggang-bongga.”

Judy Ann Santos says it might take time before she returns to teleseryes

7/08/2011 8:42 AM

by: Napoleon Quintos

Judy Ann Santos is about to return to television, not as an actress, but for the very first time as a host, for the new ABS-CBN reality show Junior MasterChef: Pinoy Edition. After more than a year of taking a break from showbiz to focus on mommy duties, Judy Ann said that he decision to go back to work was very much supported by her husband Ryan Agoncillo. “Ever since si Ryan lagi niyang sinasabi na kung ano man ang maging desisyon ko about sa pagbabalik-trabaho, okay lang sa kanya. Ako rin naman, gusto ko rin mag-work na for as long as may oras pa rin para sa mga bata.”

The Young Superstar admitted that she missed working in front of the camera. But now her main priority is to be a hands-on mother to her two kids, Yohan and Lucho. “Kailangan kasi talaga nila ng guidance especially now na si Yohan ay nag-school na and si Lucho naman ay nagkakaisip na. Ang hirap kapag lagi kang wala sa bahay at hindi mo nakikita ‘yung mga anak mo. Nakaka guilty. E dito sa JMC ang mga kasama ko pa puro mga bata. Kaya nga kapag dire-direcho ang taping namin masyado akong malambot kasi miss na miss ko na ‘yung mga anak ko. Nagtataka sila sa akin kasi para na akong loka-loka, ha ha ha!”

She also shared that her daughter Yohan is very excited about JMC and is insisting on visiting the big kitchen set. As much as Judy Ann wanted to grant her little girl’s request, the location is very far from their home. “Gusto niyang pumunta dito. Hindi ko pa siya nadadala dito sa set kasi nung nag-start kaming mag-taping pasimula na ‘yung school. Kailangan na namin siyang i-practice na matulog nang maaga at gumising nang maaga. Tsaka medyo malayo itong set sa bahay. Kung malapit lang sana madaling ihatid-sundo. Kaso Marikina ito tapos Alabang kami. Ang hirap sa gas. Uuwian ko na lang siya siguro ng mga pictures, ha ha ha!”

Judy Ann said that she still has an existing contract with ABS-CBN. Since she is the “Queen of Teleserye,” many are wondering when she will do another drama series. The actress, however, couldn’t give a definite time. “Siguro mid next year na siguro. Hindi pa ako makapangako sa inyo kasi naghihintay pa ako ng magandang material. And also sa ngayon feeling ko solved na ako dito sa JMC. Gusto ko ito kasi hindi masyadong stressful ang workload.”

The actress explained how happy she is that with the schedule of taping for JMC she still has the time to be at home with her family. “May mga times na maaga akong nakakauwi since maaga ang start ng roll. Thankful ako na may time pa rin ako with Yohan and Lucho. Sa umaga kasi gumigising ako ng five o’clock para sabayan si Yohan sa breakfast and ipahatid siya sa school. Routine ko na ‘yun. Kaya nga kapag mga alas otso o alas nwebe na ng gabi, ‘yung mukha ko halos bagsak na sa sahig sa sobrang pagod. Sobra pa akong satisfied sa kung anong meron ako ngayon.”

Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo, ready to have their third child after Baby Lucho

Friday, July 8, 2011, 12:17

HINDI MAN KAMI naka-attend ng press launch ng Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdog nina Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo, pero marami kaming chika na nasagap tungkol sa mag-asawa.

Tinanong ang actress kung may balak agad silang sundan ang one year old baby nilang si Lucho. Unang sumagot si Ryan, sumiseksi raw ang kanyang misis na biglang sulyap kay Juday. Hindi na ito nag-elaborate pa, pero may posibility na puwedeng agad masundan si Baby Lucho. Dugtong naman ni Juday, hindi raw nila napag-uusapan ni Ryan ang tungkol sa bagay na ‘yun. Basta raw bigla na lang kung maramdaman nila.



HINDI PALA PROBLEMA kay Judy Ann kung sakaling mabuntis ulit siya. Kung mangyayari, mangyayari raw ‘yun.

Hindi raw niya hawak ang puwedeng mangyari. Kung gusto ni Lord na magkaroon uli sila ng baby, ibibigay niya ‘yun in the right time. Kung mabuntis uli ang actress, it’s a good sign dahil kaya pa nilang buhayin at mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang susunod nilang baby. Sa ngayon daw, okay na sila with two kids (Yohan at Lucho), pero kung masusundan uli si Lucho, okay sila dahil swak sa quota nila ang tatlong bata.

May nagtanong pa nga raw kung ano ang pagkakaiba ng hotdog ni Ryan sa ibang hotdog. Biglang natawa ang mister ni Juday pati ang media, kasi naman may double meaning ang hotdog, ‘di ba? Kung bibigyan mo ito ng malisya, iba ang mai-imagine mo. Siyempre, mas meaty tender at juicy ang hotdog na ini-endorse ng TV host at pamilya nito compared sa ibang hotdog. Tama po ba ako, Mr. Noel Ferrer?

Judy Ann Santos hopes her movie project with Coco Martin will push through

6/09/2011 8:36 AM

by: Napoleon Quintos

Fans of Judy Ann Santos continue to wait for her to become active again on television and in movies. The actress is preparing for her newest TV project, ABS-CBN’s reality show Junior Master Chef where she will serve, for the first time in her career, as host. However, in terms of other projects, Judy Ann said her comeback is still dependent upon discussion with different producers and the material to be offered to her.

As early as now there are talks that the Young Superstar is set to star in a movie opposite Coco Martin. Judy Ann clarified that the said project is still under discussion. Nevertheless, the actress expressed her admiration for Coco as an actor. “Hindi ko man siya kilala personally, wala man kaming direct connection, alam kong pinaghirapan niya kung ano man ‘yung narating niya ngayon. Nakikita ko ‘yung pagka-intense niya bilang aktor kaya gusto ko rin maranasang makatrabaho siya.”

Judy Ann was further flattered when told that Coco looks up to her as an actress. In return, she praised the actor for having achieved so much at a young age, one of which is being recently named as Aktor ng Dekada by the Gawad Urian. Judy Ann said, “Para sa akin naman kung talagang mahusay ang isang tao wala namang imposible. Nakikita ko kay Coco kung paano niya pinagbubuti ‘yung trabaho niya, magaganda ‘yung mga projects niya.”

She promised that once the movie with Coco is finalized, she will quickly fill everyone in on the details. For now, all that is in her mind is her first venture into hosting with JMC, produced but the same team that brought us Pinoy Big Brother and The Biggest Loser: Pinoy Edition. How does the Filipino version of JMC differ from the other ones shown abroad? Judy Ann explained, “Siyempre may mga ginagawa sa abroad na hindi mo pwedeng gawin dito sa Pilipinas kasi we have a different culture. Itong version natin for sure makaka-relate ang maraming Pilipino habang nanonood sa mga bata.”

JMC Pinoy Edition is already in the process of trimming down 60 young hopefuls to the official contestants who will make it to the competition proper. The 60 kids from all over the Philippines were recently gathered together in general assembly held at ABS-CBN’s Dolphy Theater last May 23. Judy Ann talked about how she is very much excited about meeting these kids and bonding with them over culinary activities. “Gusto kong makita ‘yung reaction nila kapag nakita na nila ‘yung kitchen. Masarap kasi sa pakiramdam ng isang bata na mahilig magluto tapos makakakita ng isang professional kitchen. Magandang experience ‘yun para sa mga bata. Feeling ko magiging super close ako sa mga bata kasi almost everyday kaming magkakasama sa taping.”

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