Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo strictly follow labor code for daughter Yohan

"Studies muna, tama na muna ang commercial," says Judy Ann Santos about letting daughter Yohan join show business. Right now, the mother and daughter are seen on three different TV commercials—a milk ad, a baby bath liquid soap commercial, and a hotdog ad.

Hindi ikinaila ng mag-asawang Judy Ann at Ryan Agoncillo na mahigpit sila sa tuwing magte-taping ng commercial ang anak nilang babae na si Yohan.



May bali-balita kasi na masyado umanong istrikto ang mag-asawa pagdating sa oras ng pagtatrabaho.



Pero para naman sa mag-asawa, sinusunod lamang nila ang nakasaad sa labor code ng Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) para sa mga bata.



"Kahit itanong nila sa DOLE, four hours lang po talaga ang working hours ng mga bata. So, 'yon ang sinusunod namin," paglilinaw ni Judy Ann nang matanong sila ni Ryan tungkol dito sa press conference ng bago nilang endorsement na Purefood Tender Juicy Hotdogs noong Sabado, Hulyo 2.



Kasama nila sa commercial nito si Yohan.



Dagdag pa ng multi-awarded actress, "Kami, oo, bilang parents ni Yohan, very strict kami when it comes to time because bata 'yan, e, madaling napapagod.



"Kung kami, walang problema sa oras. Although mayroon din kaming limit sa oras, puwede namang pag-usapan.



"Pero kapag may kasamang mga bata, 'yon talaga 'yong, 'Pasensiya na po, magalit na po kayo sa amin, hindi na namin puwedeng i-extend.'



"Kasi, baka naman magkasakit ang bata. Wala naman sila sa bahay para alagaan ang bata. Hindi rin nila nakikita kung paano mahirapan ang bata kapag pagod na pagod.



"Bilang magulang, 'yon talaga ang role namin. Kami na lang ang magiging masama sa paningin ninyo, huwag lang pagurin ang mga bata."



LEARNING FROM CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE. Sa usaping ito, naalala ni Judy Ann ang kanyang karanasan noong kabataan niya.



Matatandaang nagsimula si Judy Ann bilang aktress noong siya'y walong taong gulang. Ang kanyang mga naunang proyekto ay mga teleserye tulad ng Kaming Mga Ulila at Ula, Ang Batang Gubat.



"Wala pang DOLE noon. Sabi ko nga, 'Bakit wala pa niyan noong bata ako?'" natatawang sinabi ni Judy Ann.



Ito raw marahil ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit maigi nilang sinusunod ni Ryan ang regulasyon para sa bata pagdating sa pagtatrabaho.



"Kaya siguro ganito rin kami [ka-strict] ni Ryan sa ganyan dahil alam ko rin kung ano ang hirap kapag bata ka, 'tapos puyat na puyat ka, kinabukasan mayroon ka pang kailangang gawin.



"Nawawala ka na talaga ng childhood basically, dahil 'yon at 'yon din ang ginagawa mo.



"Kaya siguro ganito rin ang ano namin ni Ryan, na kapag gusto niya, pwede niyang gawin. Kapag ayaw niya, hindi namin siya pipilitin.



"So, before we close a contract, ilang beses namin siya tinatanong.



"Kasi, ayaw naman naming pumirma ng contract na hindi siya sigurado.



"Ngayon, kapag siguradong-sigurado na siya, saka pa lang kami pipirma."
PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT. Samantala, nilinaw rin ni Ryan sa press conference kung bakit tila mas madalas na ngayong nakikita si Yohan sa mga TV commercial. Hindi katulad noon na halos ayaw nilang makita ng publiko ang kanilang anak.

Isa raw ito sa mga maraming bagay na sinubukan ni Yohan nitong nakaraang summer.

Paliwanag pa ng award-winning TV host, "Maraming nagtataka kung bakit all of a sudden pumayag kami na ilabas siya. But it's a part of how do we think it will be healthier for her.

"Kagaya nitong summer, tinatanong namin siya, 'Gusto mong gumawa ng commercial o hindi?'

"It's also part of her role as an ate.

"Parang this is a form to let her know that the attention is shared again to her. Kasi, iba 'yong dynamics namin sa bahay at iba 'yong nape-perceive sa TV."

Bukod dito, nakatulong din umano ang paglabas-labas ni Yohan sa TV commercials upang mag-mature.

Kuwento ni Ryan, "Kung paano nakaapekto sa kanya, personally, napansin ko, mas naging maingat siya.

"Kasi, ang nangyayari naa-associate niya 'yong trabahong ginagawa niya sa trabahong ginagawa nina mommy at daddy.

"She sees na kung gaano kami kaingat sa sarili, inaalagan niya rin ang sarili niya.

"Parang ang nangyari, 'yong isang buong summer niya, pang-personality development."

Sa paglabas ni Yohan sa TV commercials, ibig sabihin ba nito ay papayag na rin silang maging aktres ang kanilang anak?

Umiling si Judy Ann at sumagot ng, "Parang hindi na muna yata."

Paliwanag niya, "Bukod sa [makakaapekto sa] pag-aaral, ang hirap kasi ngayon sa bata na mag-focus sa isang bagay.

"Lalo ngayon na Grade 1 na siya, nahihirapan na siya sa whole day na classes.

"Parang baka kapag nag-artista pa siya, baka mawalan na talaga siya ng focus sa pag-aaral.

"Studies muna, tama na muna ang commercial."

After the birth of her son Lucho last year, Judy Ann Santos admitted she didn’t mind having a low-key wedding anniversary celebration with her husband Ryan Agoncillo last April 28. “Nag-video games lang kami sa bahay at saka nag-dinner kaming dalawa. The night before our anniversary, some of our friends came over para salubungin. So parang birthday yung nangayri sa amin (laughs),” she said. The 32-year-old actress said they also held a thanksgiving mass in their home last May 1 to continue the celebration. “May thanksgiving mass sa bahay para sabay na din sa birthday mass para sa akin. ‘Pag birthday kasi namin at saka anniversary, nag-o-offer talaga kami ng thanksgiving mass for another year na maayos, kung ano man ang problemang dumating, masolusyonan naming ng maayos, yung we always do that, she says during her launch as Del Monte Pineapple’s newest endorser held last April 30 at the C55 Events Place in Quezon City. Juday said that being patient and appreciative with each other is one of the reasons why she and Ryan have managed to get along so well. “I think every year is getting much better. Mas nagiging comfortable kami sa buhay namin as a family. And we’re always thankful naman sa bawat taon na dumadaan sa amin. Ang sabi nga namin ni Ryan okay let’s take it a year at a time. Kasi yun yung nagwo-work eh. Siguro masyado lang kaming kumportable kung nasaan kami ngayon and at the same time feeling ko nga, sa aming relasyon, malaking bagay yung napapatawa namin yung isa’t isa. At higit sa lahat, yung magkaibigan rin kayo. Hindi lang kayo basta mag-asawa, mag-best friend din kayo. Puwede kayong mag-confide ng problema niyo sa isa’t isa, hindi lang sa trabaho, yung puwede kayong mag-usap ng hindi mo iju-judge kung ano yung nangyari sa kanya nung araw na yun. Kumbaga, kung kailangan kang maging kaibigan niya, maging kaibigan ka muna niya. I think yun yung talagang nagwo-work sa amin kasi sobra naming na-e-enjoy yung pagiging mag-asawa naming dalawa. Kasi para bang barkada lang yung feeling namin. Pero hindi naman yung barkada na nag iinuman lagi (laughs). Relaxed na relax lang kami. Wala masyadong rules and regulations na nakakasakal.” she shared. Juday also said that keeping an open line of communication is one of the key ingredients to a successful marriage. “I think yung pagiging open niyo talaga ang importante. Yung open sa lahat ng bagay. Not only sa buhay niyo sa loob ng bahay kundi yung buhay niyo rin sa labas. Nakakapag-kuwentuhan kayo about anything under the sun. Puwede kayong mag-biruan. Sabi ko parang feeling ko malaking factor yung may humor yung pagsasama kasi kung hindi kayo tumatawa, kung palagi kayong seryoso, ‘di ba nakakaburaot ata yun,” she explained. The new Del Monte endorser also couldn’t help but share how lucky she feels to have found her ideal mate. “Ryan’s a very good provider. Palagi kong sinasabi sa lahat ng nag-iinterview sa akin. Isang dahilan siguro kung bakit napaka-suwerte ko sa asawa dahil binigyan niya ako ng chance mamili kung babalik ba ako kaagad sa pagtratrabaho o hindi. Sabi niya it’s my choice and he will give that to me. So sobrang prenteng prente lang ako sa bahay. Akala ko nga hindi ko kakayanin na hindi magtrabaho kasi for the past 22 years wala naman akong ibang ginagawa kundi sumegway ng sumegway sa shooting. Ngayon, parang sobra akong enjoy na nasa bahay lang ako tapos kasama ko yung mga anak ko. Hindi kaya lahat ng babae may ganung oportunidad na puwedeng mamili kung gusto ba nila makasama yung mga bata or babalik kagad sa trabaho. At saka isang bagay na kung bakit ang saya saya ko is really because totoo pala yung sinasabi nila na you will realize the perfect person came into your life if you waited a long time and I think I really waited a long time and the right person came to me,” Juday admitted.

Juday adjusts work sched to assure quality time with her kids

Dalawang taon nang kasal sina Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo, pero tila nasa honeymoon stage pa rin ang dalawa dahil very sweet pa rin sila sa isa't isa tuwing mamamataan sa public at private functions.

Last Thursday, April 28, ay tahimik na ipinagdiwang ng mag-asawa ang kanilang anibersaryo sa pamamagitan ng paglalaro ng "video games" at isang intimate dinner.

"I think every year is getting much better at mas nagiging kumportable kami sa buhay namin as a family.

"We're always thankful naman sa bawat taon na dumadaan sa amin.

"Sabi nga namin ni Ryan, let's take it a year at a time—isa-isa muna," pahayag ni Juday nitong Sabado, April 30, nang humarap siya sa isang press conference na ginanap sa 55 Events Place sa Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

Ang nabanggit na presscon ay ipinatawag ng Del Monte Pineapples, na kasalukuyang iniendorso ng award-winning actress.

Bukas, May 1, ay magkakaroon naman ng thanksgiving mass sa tahanan nina Juday at Ryan bilang pagdiriwang ng kanilang anibersaryo at pasasalamat na rin sa lahat ng biyaya na patuloy nilang natatanggap.

"Some friends will come over to celebrate the anniversary with us," banggit niya.

"Hindi namin nagawa nung Thursday, kasi lahat may trabaho.

"Tapos hindi rin namin alam kung may makakapunta, kasi ang layo rin ng bahay namin.

"So, sabi namin, 'Sige let's do it on weekend na lang.'"

Ikinasal sina Juday at Ryan noong April 28, 2009 sa San Juan Nepomuceno Church sa San Juan, Batangas.

OPEN COMMUNICATION. Ibinahagi ni Juday ang dahilan kung bakit sa tingin niya ay maganda ang itinatakbo ng pagsasama nila ni Ryan.

"Yung pagiging open ninyo talaga, yung open sa lahat ng bagay, not only yung buhay ninyo sa loob ng bahay, kundi yung buhay ninyo rin sa labas, na nakakapagkuwentuhan kayo about everything under the sun at puwede kayo magbiruan.

"Ako, feeling ko, malaking factor yung may humor yung pagsasama. Kasi kung hindi kayo tumatawa, kung lagi lang kayong seryoso, di ba, nakakaburaot yata yun!" natatawang sabi ng aktres.

Dagdag pa ni Juday: "Malaking bagay rin yung magkaibigan din kayo. Hindi lang kayo basta mag-asawa, mag-best friend din kayo.

"Na puwede kayong mag-usap nang hindi mo idya-judge kung ano yung nangyari sa kanya nung araw na 'yon.

"Kumbaga, kung kailangan kang maging kaibigan muna, maging kaibigan ka muna.

"I think yun yung talagang nagwu-work sa amin ni Ryan ngayon.

"Kasi sobra naming nae-enjoy yung pagiging mag-asawa naming dalawa, kasi parang magbarkada lang yung tingin namin—hindi naman barkada na nag-iinuman lagi!
"Relax na relax lang kami, tapos walang masyadong rules and regulations na nakakasakal."

TIME FOR FAMILY. Aminado si Juday na hinahanap-hanap din ng katawan niya ang pag-arte sa harap ng kamera, ngayong madalang na siyang tumanggap ng showbiz projects para mapagtuunan ng pansin ang kanyang papel bilang maybahay at ina sa anak na sina Yohan at Juan Luis—o mas kilala sa nickname nito sa Lucho.

Si Yohan ay six years old na ngayon, samantalang six months old na si Lucho, na isinilang ni Juday nung October 7, 2010.

"Hindi naman po ako magsisinungaling, of course I do, I really miss acting.

"It's just that yung pagka-miss ko sa acting, hindi katulad ng pagka-miss ko sa mga anak ko pag wala ako sa bahay.

"Yung hindi ko kaya i-give up yung moment ko with my children para sa trabaho.

"Hindi naman po sa ayaw kong magtrabaho, of course I'm very thankful na maraming lumalapit sa amin ngayon.

"Ang sa akin lang, I think I would have to wait for the right and perfect project para maiwan ko muna sandali yung mga anak ko.

"Kasi para sa akin, kailangan may mas matinding dahilan para hayaan ko yung mga bata sa bahay, e." - Bong Godinez, PEP

JUDY ANN SANTOS LEVELS-UP HER ADOBO WITH DEL MONTE PINEAPPLES!

May 2nd, 2011

Every mom’s topmost concern is to serve her family, specially her kids, delicious dishes that will whet their appetite to eat more. However, moms also want to provide their family the proper nutrition they need for overall health. Judy Ann Santos, known as one of local showbiz’ young superstars, wife and mom with a solid background in culinary, shares with us how Del Monte Pineapples can turn regular dishes to more delicious and nutritious dishes.
In most cases, to be assured that their kids eat, moms prepare food their kids like. However, kids like things that are not necessarily nutritious for them. Dealing with this reality, moms have to find ways on how to excite and delight their kids with delicious cooking without compromising nutrition as they would want to give their kids the best of both worlds.

Del Monte Pineapple helps moms prepare dishes that kids will surely like such as Adobo with Del Monte Pineapple which is preferred by 9 out of 10 kids versus the one without Del Monte Pineapples based on a blind taste test conducted. Judy Ann tested it herself by cooking for judges that are very hard to please – kids! She tried the Chicken Adobo with Del Monte Pineapple recipe that is “piña-level up sasarap at sustansiya”. As a avid cook and as a mom, she was very happy with the results because kids were excited to eat, asked for seconds and cleaned up their plates. She considers this a major achievement to see kids eating heartily. Judy Ann says that she finds it more challenging to cook for kids than for her instructors in her culinary school because despite all the techniques you learn, “Kahit pa chef ka, hindi madaling mahuli ang taste ng mga bata.”

Aside from the delicious taste, nutrient analysis shows that Adobo with Del Monte Pineapples has 5x more fiber that kids’ daily diet typically does not have enough of. This is because Del Monte Pineapples are NATURE’S MULTIVITAMINS. Aside from Fiber it also contains Vitamin C, Manganese and Phytonutrients from nature that help increase the body’s overall health and immunity. Del Monte Pineapples are picked and packed on the same day to lock in important nutrients. The good news is, there are a lot of favorite dishes that can be “Piña-Level Up!”. There are recipes for Pork Humba, Pancit, Guisado and a lot more where you can add Del Monte Pineapple to add zest and nutrients to your favorite dishes. Just visit www.kitchenomics.com for recipes.

Judy Ann Santos knows her food and the ingredients that go well with it. She is very health conscious, which is why according to her, “ As a mother and an avid cook, it is very important for me to give my family, most specially my kids, the proper nutrition by serving them delicious and nutritious meals. Therefore, I’m always looking for new delicious and healthy recipes that will surely whet my family’s appetite.”
So like Judy Ann Santos, add Del Monte Pineapples to your everyday dishes like Adobo to make it “piña-level up sasarap at sustansiya”.

Kung matutuloy ang plano, may nakatakda rin siyang gawing pelikula para sa taunang Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) na ipinagdiriwang tuwing Disyembre hanggang Enero.
May usap-usapan na dalawang proyekto ang gagawin ni Juday para sa MMFF, subalit maging ang aktres ay nagsabi na wala pang konkretong detalye tungkol sa mga pelikula na inalok para gawin niya bago matapos ang taong kasalukuyan.
Kung may isang bagay man na sigurado, ito ang kahilingan ni Juday sa mga producers na payagan siyang magkaroon ng fixed number of hours sa set para naman hindi masakripisyo ang oras at panahon niya sa pamilya.
"Basta ako, ang request ko lang ngayon sa mga producers, sabi ko po, 'Kung gagawa ako ng movie, I can only give you twelve hours of the day to work.'
"I really can't be away from the kids ng matagal na oras.
"And kung sa ibang bansa man gagawin, I have to bring the kids and kailangan i-timing yun sa sembreak ni Yohan, kasi nag-aaral na siya sa big school.
"Hindi puwedeng maiwan yung mga anak ko.
"Naku, maloloka yata ako 'pag wala sila sa tabi ko!"

Judy Ann’s new commitment

INQUIRER.net
First Posted 13:05:00 04/09/2011


MANILA, Philippines – Philippine viewership has a long-standing relationship with Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo: from her youthful days of portraying the kind but poverty-stricken, iconic Mara in the genre-edifying soap opera “Mara Clara,” to becoming the lovely bride to Ryan Agoncillo’s groom in a rare meeting of hearts and minds between two talented celebrities.

Judy Ann is undeniably Philippine showbiz royalty, and her eminence as a star can be attested to not only by the number of awards she has garnered over the years, but also by the number of her dedicated fans.

Coming back from a brief break from acting to give herself time to enjoy motherhood, Judy Ann yet again proves her star power to the public by way of a new commitment. And this is no ordinary commitment, for this has implications not only on her family life, but on the family lives of countless other moms as well: 100% nourishment.

Wanting to give her children no less than her 100%, Judy Ann champions the cause of complete nutrition in every Filipino household, as guided by the food pyramid, an internationally recognized standard of proper nourishment, hoping that other moms will also pick up the challenge of promoting 100% nourishment wherever in the country they may be.

Both 100% nourishment and the food pyramid are the main thrusts of Lactum, her daughter’s milk of choice and leading children’s staged milk. These thrusts bring Judy Ann’s involvement close to home – for she is spreading its message of nourishment not so much as a celebrity actress, but as a mother who constantly worries about her child’s nutritional well-being just like any other mom. Add to that the fact that she is also a chef, having taken up culinary studies, which means that anything related to food and feeding is immediately within her scope of concern and expertise. This is why she is passionate when it comes to Lactum – Lactum 6+ being her partner or “katuwang” in feeding.

The Drama of Feeding

The Lactum 6+ TV commercial in which Judy Ann appears tells the story of what every Filipino mom – Judy Ann included – goes through on a daily basis: that feeding children can be tedious, that it is a struggle, but one nonetheless must deal with it every single day and overcome this daily hardship, no matter how repetitive, because a mother who loves her child will never put her child’s health at risk.

Scenes from the project reveal Judy Ann in full form, involving a bit of drama, a tinge of romance, plus a side of the actress that audiences rarely get a taste of – action: a mom can reach a point of desperation where she has to kneel just in order to plead with her daughter to eat properly; a chase sequence can also occur around the dining table between a mom holding a plate and the child trying to get away from it; and sometimes tears can stream from a child’s eyes when her mom tries to keep her away from the favorite food that she so desires and loves to eat, ignoring everything else on the table.

While all moms are familiar with such hard domestic imagery, thankfully they do not have to face these trying times alone. For they have a partner that complements three balanced meals a day in making their children 100% nourished kids – and that partner is Lactum 6+ with essential nutrients.

It’s inevitable for moms to face such worries. The most common issue they have to deal with is having favorites in food where children tend to choose their favorite food over other nutritious choices, eating nothing else. Judy Ann attests to this, mentioning that her six-year-old daughter, Yohan, keeps asking for cheesedog and French fries. “Kung puro cheesedog at French fries na lang,” she complains, “walang mangyayari sa nutrisyon niya.”

To tell if her child is getting complete nourishment, Judy Ann always refers to the food pyramid. “E sabi sa food pyramid, mahalaga ang vegetables, so I try to sneak vegetables into her meals,” Judy Ann narrates. “For example, gagawa ako ng spinach soup, but I tell her it’s ‘Shrek soup’ para kainin niya.”

The actress certainly taps the practical chef in her for solutions. And because the practical chef in her has faith in the food pyramid, she also has faith in Lactum 6+, because its formulation of essential nutrients is inspired by the food pyramid.

A recipe for 100% nourishment and 100% peace of mind

On set, Judy Ann expresses her initial hesitation to let Yohan become part of the project. It is of course Judy Ann’s instinct to protect her child, and she is in no way going to force her daughter to do anything Yohan does not want to do.

Previous acting opportunities have been flung Yohan’s way before, but this is the first time her mom has let her actually take one, not only because Judy Ann herself believes so much in Lactum and what it has to offer to her child’s welfare, but also because Yohan herself enjoys drinking Lactum 6+. This TVC hence is actually Yohan’s debut participation in Philippine TV, and it has happened out of her own voluntary enjoyment of the milk.

“Masarap daw kasi,” the actress explains, giving her child's description of Lactum. “I don’t want her to say when she’s old that her mom forced her to drink milk she didn’t like when she was young,” she continues, punctuating her statement with mild laughter. The idea that Yohan is only forced to drink Lactum cannot possibly enter anyone’s mind, given the way she would finish entire glasses of it during the shoot in a heartbeat, even licking her upper lip in satisfaction as she smiles. “Na-try ni Yohan ‘yung ibang gatas. Ayaw, hindi siya nasasarapan.

Matabang daw,” Judy Ann says of another milk brand her daughter has tried, narrating how even she has had to add sugar to this other brand just to make it more palatable to her child.

Judy Ann excitedly shares that Yohan loves the taste of Lactum 6+, which the child has told her mom to possess just the right amount of sweetness to make it palatable. She adds, “Sugar is part of the food pyramid; and like everything in the food pyramid, it’s good for the body when taken in proper amounts.” She also stresses the reality that the right amount of sugar contributes to the taste of milk, saying that moms don’t necessarily have to compromise on taste just because they want complete nutrition for their children.

“Gustong-gusto ni Yohan ang lasa ng Lactum dahil malinamnam ang sweetness and creaminess nito. Di naman dahil matamis, puno na ng sugar. Una sa lahat, karamihan ng mga gatas, may sugar. In fact, pati ibang pagkain, maski gamot, nilalagyan ng sugar para maging appealing sa panlasa ng bata. Maraming palaisipan pagdating sa sugar. Kesyo more sugar, kesyo less sugar ang iba. Ang dapat itanong: Naangkop ba ang sugar levels sa mga standards?”

On the proper sugar levels, Judy Ann says, “Ni-research ko ‘yan, and na-verify ko na may tatlong batayan: World Health Organization (WHO), Institute of Medicine, and FNRI that recommend limiting sugar content to 39 grams, 100 grams, and 25 grams of added sugar per day para sa batang six to nine years old. Lactum 6+ has 9 grams of sugar per serving, which is less than two teaspoons of sugar. Kutsarita ha, hindi kutsara kaya tama lang. Pasok na pasok ang Lactum 6+ sa batayan ng local and international guidelines for its sugar levels.”

“Kids prefer milk that tastes good; mothers prefer milk that is nutritious – thankfully, Lactum 6+ compromises on nothing. On top of that, there is a Lactum for every stage. Kahit may feeding challenges as they grow up, there is Lactum who can be a nutritional support system because it contains essential nutrients from the food groups found in the food pyramid. Kaya naman, sa Lactum 6+ lang ako 100% panatag,” she concludes, with a special emphasis on “lang” to indicate that she strongly believes that only Lactum can give her peace of mind.

Who knew the recipe for peace of mind could be both nutritious and delicious? And easy on the budget too: the celebrity mom reveals how happy she has become since Lactum’s price went down, with savings reaching up to 92 pesos. “Mas madali nang maging 100% panatag,” Judy Ann concludes. One certainly cannot help but appreciate Lactum for possessing the right combination of nutrition, taste, and affordability.

Judy Ann Santos and celebrity friends appear on Talentadong Pinoy for Ryan Agoncillo's birthday special

Rommel Gonzales

Ginanap kagabi, April 4, sa Skydome sa SM North EDSA ang birthday special ni Ryan Agoncillo sa Talentadong Pinoy.

Dahil birthday ni Ryan, na siyang host ng Talentadong Pinoy, isang special guest talent scout ang bisita nila. Ito ay walang iba kundi ang misis ni Ryan na si Judy Ann Santos.

Kauna-unahang TV guesting ito ng aktres mula nang ipinanganak niya ang anak nila ni Ryan na si Lucho.

Kasama si Judy Ann ng resident talent scouts ng naturang talent search program ng TV5 na sina Lucy Torres-Gomez, Shalala, at Direk Jose Javier Reyes.

Ang chairperson naman ng jury ay ang ina ni Judai at mother-in-law ni Ryan na si Carol Santos.

CELEBRITY SHOWDOWN. Since espesyal nga ang naturang episode, isang Celebrity Showdown ang naging tema ng palabas noong gabing 'yon. Mga celebrity na close kay Ryan ang nag-compete para maging "Celebrity Talentado."

Ang unang nag-perform ay si Daiana Menezes, a.k.a. Lady Amigaga. Naka-costume na tila isang belly dancer, kumanta at sumayaw si Daiana ng kanta ni Shakira na "Waka Waka Africa." Dabarkads ni Ryan si Daiana sa top-rating noontime show naEat Bulaga! sa GMA-7.

Pangalawang nag-perform sina Jose Sarasola at Marion dela Cruz, a.k.a. MC Tuklaw & MC Quintin Tarantahin. Naging kaibigan ni Ryan sina Jose at Marion sa Argentina, kung saan ginanap ang reality show noon ng ABS-CBN na Pinoy Fear Factor. Naging participantes sina Jose at Marion, samantalang si Ryan naman ang nag-host ng programa.

Celebrity contestant No. 3 si Miriam Quiambao, a.k.a. Magnetic Miriam, na kumanta ng "Fireworks" ni Katy Perry. Dating nakasama ni Ryan si Miriam sa Unang Hirit ng GMA-7.

Pang-apat na nag-perform si Jeffrey Santos, a.k.a. Bayaw. Si Jeffrey, as we all know, ang nakatatandang kapatid ni Judy Ann. Isang kakaibang drama-skit mula saEl Filibusterismo ang ipinamalas ni Jeffrey, kasama ang dati niyang kasamahan saThat's Entertainment na si Brylle Mondejar.

Celebrity contestant No. 5 naman si LJ Moreno, a.k.a. Daredevil Chic. Sumayaw na tila isang showgirl si LJ na may lifting pa. Nasa grade school pa lamang noon si LJ at nasa high school si Ryan ay magkaibigan na sila. Naging participante rin si LJ saPinoy Fear Factor.

"VERY, VERY SPECIAL GUEST." Isang "very, very special guest" naman ang kumanta at sumayaw for the birthday boy—ang panganay na anak nina Ryan at Judai na si Yohan.

Kasama ni Yohan na kumanta ng "You Belong With Me" ni Taylor Swift ang pamangkin ni Ryan na si Macqui, na anak ng kuya ni Ryan na si Dondee Agoncillo.

Very first TV performance ito ni Yohan. Natatawang sabi nga ni Ryan, ang tagal niyang pinigilan na lumabas sa telebisyon ang anak, but this time, wala na siyang nagawa.

Isang special VTR din ang ipinalabas kung saan nagkuwento ang mga magulang ni Ryan na sina Daddy Chito at Mommy Nina, at Kuya Dondee ni Ryan, ng mga bagay-bagay tungkol sa TV host-actor.

Isang malaki, kumpleto, at mamahaling tool box naman ang regalo kay Ryan ng kanyang Talentadong Pinoy family. Tuwang-tuwa si Ryan sa naturang regalo. Matagal na raw kasi niyang plano na simulang mag-aral magkumpuni ng sasakyan. Kahit daw kasi car racer siya, hindi pa siya marunong magkumpuni ng sasakyan.

"It could be my fallback [career]!" ang natatawa niyang sabi.

Upang malaman kung sino ang nagwagi sa Celebrity Showdown, mapapanood ang special edition na ito ng Talentadong Pinoy sa TV5 sa April 10, Linggo, na mismong kaarawan ni Ryan.

Judy Ann Santos says she has no plans on becoming a stage mother.

After years of keeping her daughter out of the limelight, Judy Ann Santos finally allowed cameras on her eldest daughter Yohan, whom she appears with in the recent Lactum milk commercial on television. ”Yung sa pag-arte part, medyo pag-iisipan ko muna. Yung sa paggawa ng commercial, as long as gusto niya at ginagamit niya yung produkto, papayag naman kami. At saka nasa tamang time frame ng paggawa ng commercial kasi siyempre pag bata, alam mong importante sa kanila yung play time, kung kelan yung study time. Tapos this coming June sa big school na siya so gusto naming mag-concentrate na siya sa pag-aaral niya. Basta gusto niya, bakit hindi. at saka yung advertisers they make it convenient for us, very flexible naman sila.

“Nung inofferan naman si Johann ng Lactum, married na kami ni Ryan. At saka naghintay talaga sila. Sinabi namin na sa tamang oras na gusto na ni Johann. Kasi siya naman yung tinatanong namin kung gusto nya ba gumawa ng commercial. Nung una tinanong niya, ‘What’s a commercial?’ So pinapanuod ko sa kanya yung ibang commercials ng Lactum, napanuod rin niya yung commercials ng Ate Frankie niya at si Miel. So parang gusto niya i-try. So that’s why we allowed her, simply because she said yes. If she didn’t say yes, it will be a very hard decision for me because Lactum is part of Yohan’s life already so parang, hindi naging mahirap. Okay lang kay Johann at ginagamit niya so go,” she says.

Juday admits that it didn’t take long for Yohan to get used to the cameras. “Nung first day ng shooting niya, medyo may pagpapatulo ng luhang naganap. Pero after a while, nung pangalawang araw niya, iniiwan na niya ako sa dressing room, pupunta na siya mag-isa sa set tapos tintitingnan na niya yung camera man, yung assistant director. Tapos nag-enjoy naman siya. Ayaw pa nga niya umuwi. Sabi ko, ‘anak, tapos na ang quota eh, uwi na tayo,’ she recalls.

 The 32-year-old mom also couldn’t hide how proud she was of her six-year-old daughter’s talents. “Mahilig siya kumanta. Mahilig din siya sumayaw. Mahilig mag-show, yung may sarili siyang cooking show. Pag nagluluto kaming dalawa, hinahayaan ko siyang tumalak ng tumalak sa camera ko, yung ganun. Bata siya, madaming gustong gawin. Marami siyang gustong mangyari sa buhay niya. Gusto na nga niya makipag-date eh (laughs),” she says.

Being a child star herself, Juday says she isn’t keen on Yohan entering showbiz so early in life. “Kasi alam ko yung mga pinagdadaanan ng mga batang artista eh. Kulang sa tulog, hindi nila nagagawa yung gusto nilang gawin. At saka iba ang panahon noon sa panahon ngayon. Nung panahon ko, nung umaarte ako ng eight years old ako, nagagawa ko pang maglaro sa set. At saka naging bata ako hanggang 14 years old ako. Sa aking pagmamanman ha, sa mga kabataan ngayon, parang pag 10 years old sila parang 15 sila. Yung dalaga na kagad sila. Gusto nila dalaga na kagad sila. Nakakalungkot di ba kasi malaking part ng kabataan ang hindi nila na-e-enjoy,” she explains.

Juday says that even if Yohan is already showing an aptitude for showbiz, she wants her daughter to explore her other interests first. “Ano lang, parang gusto ko ma-enjoy kasi ni Johann yung buhay niya bilang bata. Kung gusto niyang mag-soccer, or football, yes puwede. Kung gusto niyang mag-artista, in time, pag nakapagtapos na siya ng pag-aaral. Kasi ang mga bata talaga ngayon, once na nagsimula sila sa buhay artista, ang nangyayari home-study. Which is something I really don’t like my daughter to experience kasi ako mismo hindi ako nag-enjoy sa home-study. Bilib ako sa mga batang nakakapagtapos dahil nag-homestudy sila, ibig sabihin talagang gusto nila makatapos sa pag-aaral nila. Ako kasi, hindi ako nag-enjoy. Gusto ko may kino-kopyahan ako,” she says jokingly.

‘Lucho and Yohan kids of Judy Ann Santos’ Judy Ann on her family life and increasing weight

After almost a year of shunning the limelight of the Philippine Cinema, the Queen of Drama is back to give smiles to her adoring fans with her signature tear jerking acting. But it would only be on a part time basis. Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo is ready as ever to give the profession she had come to love another go despite her now being a dedicated mom and a full pledged wife to Ryan Agoncillo and loving mom to Yohan and baby Lucho.

Despite her award winning and time tested unparalleled acting prowess, Judy Ann expressed her hesitance to go back as a public figure. One reason for this is her increasing body figure that is now quite noticeable after conceiving and giving birth to Baby Yohan. Judy Ann is known to have struggled on some weight issues in the past and had overcome is quite sensationally. This year, it would be another hurdle for her to overcome. She had gained a lot of weight and she is on a race to decrease it to make her more appealing to TV screens. Many are quick to notice that she now resembles Sharon Cuneta in her body structure and facial chubbiness.

No matter how tongues wag to criticize her ballooning figure, Judy dismissed it aside stating that her prolonged vacation off the camera had done her good and she is living a blissful life with Ryan which might be some of the contributing factor for her weight gain.

“I promised myself na i-e-enjoy ko lang muna itong mga nangyayari sa akin kasi mula eight years old nagtrabaho naman ako so first time ako nagpahinga ng ganito kahaba. So na-enjoy ko naman siya ng husto. Parang kulang pa nga,” Judy Ann said in an interview with ABS-CBN’s “SNN” on Thursday, March 17.

When asked about her weight, Judy Ann spewed biting lash backs. “Kung may magsasabi sa akin na mataba ako at hindi pa sya nabuntis, tatanunging ko sya ng: Bakit, nabuntis ka na ba?” was the Drama Queen’s hot tirade. Yet, she also shared that she is trying to get back on shape.

“Lucho is now five months. I started going back to the gym when Lucho turned 3 months kasi yun yung tamang proseso daw so the third month saka pa lang ako nagtakbo-takbo unti-unti. Nag gi-gym, nag da-diet,” she shared.

Judy Ann stated that it might take her awhile to engage in a full time job as an actress. One movie a year was all that she could promise because she wants to spend some more time with her family. As of now, her current project is endorsing a milk brand Lactum.

Judy Ann and Ryan Agoncillo uncover marriage bliss secrets

by Diana A. Uy

Two years into the marriage and Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo have found the secret to a happy union: Always have two separate blankets in bed.

“Kasi nag-aagawan kami sa kumot hanggang sa kinabukasan inaaway niya ako (we keep fighting over who gets the blanket. Sometimes it even carries over to the next day,)’’ says Santos, during the launch of Samsung’s latest air conditioners. The popular couple are the new endorsers of the electronics giant.

Agoncillo echoes the sentiment.

“We discovered that a few months into the marriage. Juday would hog the blanket, it doesn’t matter whether the blanket is big or small, she gets it all. I always end up with a cough the next day because my back gets exposed to the cold. So we decided, separate blankets for us,’’ he laughs.

The couple, who married in a fairytale ceremony last April 28, 2009 after nearly four years of being together, now have two kids—Yohan, six, and Lucio, five months—but still consider themselves newlyweds.

“I love it,’’ gushes Santos, referring to her current status as wife, mother and homemaker.

‘‘I am very relaxed. I am very contented with what I have now. Ayos na ayos ako.’’

“I’m happy as long as she’s happy,’’ says Agoncillo. “As long as she’s happy with what she’s doing... and she’s not bored or not deprived of what she wants to do then I’m okay. I can see how devoted she is to the kids.’’

This mutual concern for each other has made the couple ideal endorsers for Samsung’s latest line of digital appliances, including its latest eco-friendly, split-type, virus-safe which are perfect for the couple’s growing family.

Samsung’s new air conditioners are energy-efficient allowing users to save up to 50 percent in the electricity bill. The models were also designed to eliminate biological contaminants in the air such as viruses and bacteria through its revolutionary micro plasma ionizing technology.

Domestic diva

Santos, who took a break from her showbiz commitments to devote her time and attention to her family, is the picture of domestic bliss as she describes her typical day, which starts early in the morning. She checks up on Lucio, gives him a bath and then plays with Yohan right after. A family nurse sometimes helps her take care of her kids, alleviating some of the stress that motherly duties bring.

The drama princess sometimes cooks for her husband as well, depending on his diet and activity for the day.

“If he doesn’t have any duties on Eat Bulaga, or if he’s not on a diet, I’m the one who cooks for him. It depends on what his activities are for the day, say for example, he has taping for Talentadong Pinoy, I prepare the appropriate meals. Sometimes I prepare up to three separate meals. Ryan is not a picky eater, so I am able to find ways to work with his diet.’’

Santos is an accomplished chef, having earned a diploma from the Center for Asian Culinary Studies. In fact, she is set to host Junior Master Chef Pinoy Edition on ABS-CBN soon.

Room for improvement

Juday and Ryan appear to have transitioned fairly well into wedded bliss. Upon further probing however, both argue that, like most young married couples they are still adjusting to the new changes in their relationship routine and activities. Discovering new things about each other, they say, is a continuous process.

‘‘Decision making is a little more complicated, a little more complex now because we can’t just get up and go if we want to see a movie or travel abroad or go on a road trip,’’ shares Agoncillo.

He shares he has learned to be less abrasive now, following his wife’s lead in the art of subtle persuasion. ‘‘I learn a lot from her. I get to observe how she gets her way with people.’’

For her part, Santos appreciates the fact that not only has she gained a husband, she now has a 24/7 consultant/advisor as well. “He tells me the pros and cons of every issue and gives me a clear idea of my choices,’’ she avers.

Fringe benefits

All things considered, Juday and Ryan are thankful that they have known each other for as long as they did before getting hitched. Juday confesses that she is already used to picking up Ryan’s clothes left scattered, one-by-one, all over their home once he gets back from work. Not even his snoring bothers her anymore. Juday says she is not the OC (obsessive compulsive) or nagger type.

Ryan, meanwhile, now welcomes his wife’s sudden cravings in the middle of the night and Juday is not even pregnant. Or the fact that when Juday is really hungry, she sometimes forgets to “serve’’ Ryan at the dining table when normally she would see to it that her husband has his plate full first.

On the brighter side, both Juday and Ryan agree that family life has made them more creative and spontaneous with their relationship, keeping the flame burning.

Both like giving little surprises to each other once in a while: A fine dining dinner by their garden courtesy of Juday, for instance; or a surprise trip to China thanks to a well-conceived plan by Ryan.

The Agoncillos allow themselves small quarrels, too, simply because they want to.

“We actually try to come up with something to argue about [sometimes] because maganda rin na nag-aasarin ng konti. There's a lot of humor to it afterwards. Once in a while we try to give each other a hassle just for the heck of it,’’ says Ryan.

“We don't really plan,’’ says Juday. “We just live our life. A lot of things [can] happen in a month, for example. Something comes up and then you have to talk about it and then something comes up again. So we have to adjust to what's there.’’

Judy Ann Santos says she and Ryan Agoncillo want to be the best kind of parents

by: Rhea Manila Santos


As they celebrate their second wedding anniversary this coming April 28, Judy Ann Santos said she feels lucky that she made the right decision to marry Ryan Agoncillo. “I discovered na he’s a very excellent father and husband as well. He’s a very good provider. Sinasabi ko nga na masyado akong naging masuwerte sa buhay ko ngayon kasi may choice ako sa lahat eh. May choice akong magpahinga habang nagbubuntis ako. May choice akong bumalik sa showbiz. Andiyan yung asawa ko para sabihin na, ‘O sige, ako muna magtratrabaho, ikaw muna magpahinga. Kung gusto mo bumalik sa trabaho, puwede ka bumalik sa trabaho.’ Andiyan din yung mga producers, mga advertisers, and media na ‘pag bumalik ka, naka-abang lang sa ‘yo. Thankful ako kasi andiyan lahat ng kailangan ko para magkaroon ako ng bilib uli sa sarili ko. And they make me take my time,” she said during the Lactum press conference where she was launched as the milk brand’s newest endorser last March 18 at the C55 Events Place in Quezon City.

The 32-year-old actress said there aren’t any special plans set yet for their anniversary, which is just fine with her. “Parang wala pang plans kasi magastos yung panganganak ko eh. (laughs) Kami ni Ry, hindi naman kami madaling magplano sa mga ganyan. Very spontaneous kami pagdating sa mga celebrations. Ang hirap kasing umalis ng bansa kasi may bagets. Parang production number kung aalis kami kasi may bata, may nurse, may yaya, may dalawang bagahe sa bawat bata, bagahe ko pa. Iniisip ko pa lang, nakakapagod na. Pero naiisip naman naming umalis ng bansa. It’s just that kailangan lang talagang planuhin ng maayos. Sa anniversary, baka mag-dinner lang kami somewhere. Tapos na kami sa mga mahal na regalo so oras na para mag-ipon na uli,” she laughed.

When it comes to disputes, Judai shared that she and her husband always try to lessen any disagreements while in the household. ”Pagdating sa mga desisyon, dapat pareho kami nag-a-agree. Kasi importante yun eh. Ang pinaka-ayaw naming pinag-aawayan is money. Kasi money lang yan. Wala ng mas hihigit pang puwedeng pagsamahan ng mag-asawa kundi understanding, loyalty and love. If it’s about money already, parang dun yata nagkakasiraan ng maraming relasyon, hindi lang ang mag-aasawa. So we try not to talk about work when we’re home. ‘Pag nasa bahay kami, happy happy lang kami pero may mga chance na nag-uusap kami tungkol sa trabaho ‘pag talagang kailangan. Yung ‘pag kailangan ko ng advice niya or kailangan niya ng advice ko, yun lang yun pero hindi na ulit nauulit. Kumbaga bago maulit yun dapat pareho kaming lasing,” she joked.

Judai said she and Ryan have already decided to become supportive and open-minded parents to their kids Yohan and Lucio. “Gusto lang naming maging honest sila sa amin. Yung honest na in a way na puwede naming malaman yung mga crush nila, yung mga sikreto nila, yung mga gimik nila. Yung pagiging strikto hindi ko pa masasagot yan not until dumating kami sa puntong kakailanganin na naming magdesisyon para sa gimik ng mga batang ito. Kasi by then iba na yung kalakaran ng mga batang gumigimik, iba na rin yung pananamit,” she said.

As she prepares to host Junior MasterChef by the end of the month, Judai admitted she is excited because she has long been a fan of the reality cooking series. “Mag-sa-start na kami ng auditions ng March 31 for the first 100 kids then down to 50, down to 20, I think. Excited ako kasi napakadami daw mga batang magagaling na nag-o-audition ngayon. Sana talagang abangan ng mga tao ito kasi mahal na mahal ko itong show na ito, pinapanuod ko talaga ito. Nung buntis ako, yinu-You Tube ko talaga yan ng bonggang-bongga,” she admitted.

Judai said she has also asked Ryan for advice on how to be a good host. “Nagtatanong ako actually kay Ry. Pinapapanuod ko nga sa kanya yung Junior MasterChef ‘pag pinapalabas kasi humihingi ako sa kanya ng tips kung paano ba yung okay. Kasi hindi naman ako host eh. Sa presscon puwede akong maging madaldal pero pagdating sa pagho-host, yung puso ko parang nasa kabilang kanto na, natatakot na ako. So kinakalma naman niya ako and sinasasabi niya sa akin yung mga do’s and don’ts sa hosting,” she said.

Juday sinulot si Claudine

NI: FAVATINNI SAN

PINALITAN na ni Judy Ann Santos sina Claudine Barretto at Jodi Sta. Maria bilang endorser ng isang kila­lang brand ng gatas. May mga natuwa at mayroon ding mga nagulat. Siyempre, masaya ang fans ng aktres dahil muli na naman nilang napanood ang kanilang idolo kahit sa TV commercial lang. Nagtataka naman ang fans nina Claudine at Jody dahil nasanay na rin silang napanonood ang mga ito sa nasabing milk ads.
Ayon sa aming source, may kinalaman ang shaky marriage nina Claudine at Jodi kaya bi­g­lang ipinalit sa kanila si Juday. Ayaw mamatay ng mga ulat na may problema talaga ang mag-asawang Claudine at Raymart Santiago, habang out in the open na hiwalay na sina Jodi at Pampi Lacson.
At dahil gatas ang produktong ini-endorse ng drama princesses kaya’t importanteng happy ang sound ng marriage/family ng mga ito. Kaya nga raw si Judy Ann, together with Yohan, ang napiling maging bagong mukha ng naturang produkto, ayon pa sa source.
Samantala, naiintriga rin si Juday na mag-oober da bakod na raw sa TV-5 gaya ng mister niyang si Ryan Agoncillo.
“May kontrata pa ako sa ABS-CBN, although kaibigan namin si Perci Intalan (ng TV-5),” paliwanag ng aktres. “Ngayong taon ding ito, may gagawin akong TV show sa ABS-CBN at baka makagawa ako ng isang pelikula.”
Pero aminado siyang kailangan pa niyang magbawas ng timbang. “Tulad ‘pag may oras, nagdya-jogging ako sa loob ng subdivision. I also watch my diet pero kumakain pa rin ako nang pakaunti-kaunting sweets at carbohydrates.”
Aminado naman si Juday na bagama’t masaya siya sa pagiging misis ni Ryan at nanay nina Yohan at Lucio ay miss na rin niya ang showbiz.
“Miss ko talaga ang show business. Pero masaya na rin ang nangyari sa akin, naramdaman ko ang pagiging ina at misis. Wala na akong mahihiling pa sa aking buhay… Sa aking fans, maraming salamat sa patuloy ninyong pagsuporta sa aming pamilya,” sey ni Juday.

LI ng kontrata si Judy Ann Santos sa ABS CBN, kaya walang posibilidad na magkasama sila ni Ryan Agoncillo sa TV5.

“Nakakontrata pa po ako (sa Dos), hindi pwede pero very welcome naman po ako sa TV5. Good friends naman po ako with Sir Perci (Intalan, TV5′s head ng Creative and Entertainment Production). Na-shake hands ko naman po si MVP (Manny V. Pangilinan, TV5 owner).
“Pero panatag naman ako that ABS-CBN will give me good projects,” saad ng young superstar.
Ukol naman sa hindi niya pagsipot sa finals ng Talentadong Pinoy, humingi ng paumanhin si Juday sa naturang pangyayari at nangakong babawi siya ng bonggang-bongga sa susunod.
“Something came up that was very important noong araw na ‘yon-graduation ni Yohan. So dapat may maiwan sa amin sa bahay kasi may kaunting celebration na magaganap, kahit na sabihin nating ang magtatapos sa amin ay Prep, nakapagtapos ako ng Prep.
“Sobrang apologetic ako sa Talentadong Pinoy kasi they’re family already. Two months before the grand finals, naka-oo na ako sa kanila.
But a week before the finals, sinabi ko sa kanila, ‘Pasensiya na,’ something came up. Naintindihan naman nila ako and I’m very thankful. Sabi ko, babawi ako ng bonggang-bongga,” esplika pa ng misis ni Ryan.
Pagdating naman sa kanyang showbiz career, ipinahayag ni Juday na gusto niyang gumawa ng movie this year at malapit na raw niyang simulan ang Junior Master Chef at baka isa pang show sa ABS CBN.

Judy Ann not ready for comeback

MANILA, Philippines - JUST A THOUGHT: Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a positive attitude while waiting.

• • •

TWO COMEBACKS: First to admit she isn’t ready for either a big or small screen comeback is new mother Judy Ann Santos.

The drama star is taking it slowly, marking her return, so to speak, by way of a milk commercial, one for Lactum 6+. Juday admits she’s still overweight, joking that she came to that lunchtime promotional wearing two girdles hidden around her waist.

She spoke of a movie she’s supposed to shoot sometime soon in Las Vegas, where she’ll play an OFW. The matter was confirmed earlier by her long-time manager, Alfie Lorenzo.

Alfie would not mention which company is producing the movie, although he added that Juday’s entourage will include her two children, Yohan and Lucho.

Yohan makes her TVC debut through the Lactum 6+ commercial, which claims that mothers like Judy Ann can remain panatag (at peace) when their children drink the milk brand known for being a complete meal.

Judy Ann joins other celebrity mothers like Carmina Villaroel, Jodi Sta. Maria and Claudine Barretto as endorsers of the brand. Among the four, Judy Ann and Carmina appear like they’re the most panatag when it comes to their married life.

NO TO FAMILY PLANNING: Dissenters to the Reproductive Health Bill led by church leaders will be happy to find a supporter in the couple Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos.

The actress said she and her husband are not engaging in family planning measures as they’re very much in favor of having another child (and some more) in the near future.

Judy Ann, already in her early 30s, wants a quick follow-up to Lucho, unmindful that another pregnancy could balloon her figure even more. Juday said she has started her own lose-weight program to prepare for a real showbiz comeback.

“I want to look good in my next film,” she said.

The comeback film, however, will be preempted by an ABS-CBN reality-cooking show, “Junior Master Chef,” which Judy Ann will host starting June. Note that the actress also now wears another hat, that of a chef’s
