PART 200: JUDY ANN SANTOS: What a JOURNEY it has been to THE NEW MODERN

[crystalblast]

Juday is ‘nanay na nanay’

Manila, Philippines – ‘NANAY’ JUDAY – What’s the adjective that best describes Judy Ann Santos?

“Nanay na nanay” – loving, caring, hands-on mother. But a disciplinarian when called for, every now and then.

It was a pleasure listening to Juday advise young mothers like her on proper nutrition at SM Megamall last week. It was actually a presscon called by Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN) to hype Lactum 3+ & 6+, which the actress is endorsing.

*
ADVICE – MJN also invited at the presscon some young mothers, who took the rare chance to exchange parenting ideas with Juday. They told her their kids do not want to eat veggies. “Pero karne at junk food ang gusto.”

“Nanay” Juday said kids in general do not go for veggies. Her daughter Yohan is one. So she “bargains” with Yohan. She may have her share of hotdog tonight, but for lunch she should eat veggies. Juday said she “repackages” kalabasa, sayote, kamote, kamatis into attractive soup or salad. “It works,” Juday assured.

Of course, she also serves Yohan Lactum 3+ & 6+, rich in vitamins and nutrients.

*
‘100% PANATAG WORLD’ – After the presscon, Judy Ann Santos stayed on at SM Megamall to visit the supermart and other outlets, part of “100% Panatag World.” It’s [a] one-of-a-kind event, visiting malls in Metro Manila, dedicated to helping moms raise 100% nourished kids.

Juday is 100% panatag (at peace, confident mom), knowing she raises (and feeds) her two children well, Yohan and Lucho.

Of course, she’s also [a] good wife to Ryan Agoncillo.

*
YOUNG SUPERSTAR – AT the presscon, colleague Mario Bautista noted that she has no movie or TV show yet. Fans, the public are missing the Young Superstar.

Whatever happened to the adult edition of “Master Chef”?

Juday said it was pre-empted by the Teenage Edition of PBB, but a last-quarter of 2012 playdate is being planned.

She assured she’d have a movie and a soap this year.

At this point, her longtime manager and mentor, Alfie Lorenzo, whispered something to Juday. Tito Alfie was serious looking. Galit kaya?

“Hindi galit si Tito Alfie,” Juday laughed. “Ibinulong niya may malaking project ako, malapit na. Pero di puwedeng sabihin. Wala pang downpayment.”

Could it be a movie pairing the Young Superstar with the Original Superstar, Nora Aunor?

Let’s wait and see.

Judy Ann Santos shares her views on celebrity Twitter wars
5/26/2012 2:29 AM
by: Rhea Manila Santos



Although Judy Ann Santos does not have a Twitter account, the talented actress said she can commiserate with celebrities like Sharon Cuneta who has become very vocal on the social messaging site by sending out tweets defending her daughter KC Concepcion. “Kasi may mga bagay talaga na hindi na lang dapat tini-tweet. I’m not referring to Ate Sharon kasi, kasi payapa na yung issue eh. Wala namang pumapansin. Ngayon mag-tweet ka ng anything sa isang tao, siyempre yung unang magre-react ang nanay. Lalo na’t siya ang naghirap diyan at siya yung nakakakilala sa bata. Especially when you work for a major company. Wala na dapat ganyan dahil it’s a very sensitive topic to begin with. Eh nanay ako di ba? Sinasabi ko nga kahit mangyari sa akin yan, baka maging halimaw ako, baka higit pa,” she said during her appearance as a Lactum endorser last May 19 at the SM Megamall activity center.

The 34-year-old actress said she has not yet been able to talk to Sharon since the online incident happened. “Hindi pa kasi nung isang araw lang ito nangyari di ba? Hindi pa, wala pa. Hindi mo talaga mapipigilan ang damdamin ng isang nanay pagka halimbawa may sinasabi na yung below-the-belt na yung paninira. Siyempre maglalabas ka na rin ng bala mo para matahimik yung mga taong involved. Kung ako man ay sabihan mo ng ganyan, para matahimik ka ilabas ko na kaya? Tapos na dapat, okay na eh. Tulog na lahat eh. Ginising mo pa eh (laughs). Yung ganun eh,” she stressed.

Juday said she herself also experienced the same thing after hearing some not-so-pleasant comments after giving birth to her son Lucho in 2010. “Nung lumabas si Lucho merong kung anu-ano ding nagsabi. Sabi nga ng asawa ko sa akin, ‘Huwag ka na kasing magbasa ng comments,’ pero maiiwasan mo ba? Gusto mong pumatol pero naisip mo na lang itong mga ito basta may masabi lang. Eh kung maglabas kaya sila ng picture ng anak nila, tingnan natin. Lahat naman ng bata di ba pag bagong silang mukhang magnifying glass? (laughs). Kasi siyempre pag bagong panganak ka, napaka-sensitive mo. Lahat ng bagay na puwedeng makasakit sa ‘yo lalo na kapag anak mo ang tinira, masasaktan ka talaga. Pero at the same time naisip ko din na it’s not worth my time, it’s not worth the effort dahil una hindi ko sila kilala and maybe it made them feel good to say those words about my kid. Masuwerte lang sila hindi nailabas ng unang araw yung anak nila. Kasi baka ako ang unang kumomento (laughs). At saka mas masaya ang buhay ko eh. Bakit naman ako magpapaapekto pa sa kanilang hindi masasaya ang buhay?” she recalled.

After just having come back from spending a week long birthday celebration in Singapore, Juday said she was very happy with husband Ryan Agoncillo’s birthday gift. “Nag-Singapore kami buong family tapos si Mommy kasama rin namin. Yun yung birthday gift niya, yung Singapore trip namin at sapatos na maganda. Kasi alam naman niya even before pa na palagi ko kasi siyang niyayaya na pumunta ng Singapore kasi si Yohan gustong mag-Universal Studios at saka yung Songs of the Sea, bata pa lang si Yohan memorize na niya yun. Eh ngayon kasing nakaka-appreciate na siya ng theme park tapos malapit lang naman, kaya dun na yung rinequest ko sa kanyang trip namin at saka ang sarap kasing kumain ng street food sa Singapore. So kumain ako ng kumain (laughs). Lahat yun kanya. Yun ang kanyang birthday present. Alam niya kasi na pagka-out-of-the-country, masarap kasi kapag kasama mo mga magulang mo eh. At saka minsan lang kasi kami, and tamang tama din Mothers' Day kaya maganda rin na kasama namin ang mga mommies namin nung week na yun,” she shared.

Judy Ann Santos shares her secret in giving her kids 100% nutrition

What is Judy Ann Santos’ secret in giving her kids nutritious food? Good communication. “Talk to them and make them understand the consequences kapag hindi sila kumain ng tama.” The actress-mom also swears by a glass of milk for them everyday.

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo knows too well how tough it is to feed kids with vegetables.

Everyday the actress-mom goes through discussions with her kids Yohan and Lucho about eating junk food.

“My kids love junk food, but I don't restrict them. I allow them kasi parang ganoon din, e.

“Kung hindi naman ako ang kasama nila I’m sure, one way or another, some people will give these junk foods to them, e, di ako na lang.

“Right now, si Lucho kasi doesn’t understand pa, e, but I try to add in mga veggies and fruits sa daily diet niya.

“Okay to eat French fries, okay to eat burger. Si Lucho kasi he loves pasta, he loves bread, he loves crackers, and fruits so it’s not really hard.

“But with Yohan, meron kami laging deal.

“’Okay, you want to eat French fries now?’ or ‘You want to eat ice cream now? Tomorrow you cannot eat anymore, okay?’ or ‘O, sige you ate ice cream kanina, you eat gulay naman tonight.’

“Palagi kaming may gano’n and she knows naman that one.

“She’s a good girl naman so I allow her like an ice cream for tonight before going to bed.

“Kasi pag mapilit, pag sinasabi ko sa kanya ‘That’s too much sugar hindi ka makakatulog.’

“She would say, ‘No, Mommy, it’s okay,’ so hahayaan ko siya.

“Pero pag hindi siya nakatulog at nakita ko siyang puyat kinabukasan, so siya naman iyong nagsa-suffer.

“So, binibigay ko sa kanya [iyong gusto niya] and then I let her experience kung ano iyong consequence na kapalit ng ipinilit niya.

“So, next time, naiintindihan na niya. It’s actually just a matter of good conversation with your children.”

Although Juday admits that parenting is still a learning process for her, she feels it is her duty as a “Panatag Mom” to share with other parents what she has learned inside her own home.

Which is why for the next two months, Juday will be touring the country to appear as a guest speaker in Lactum’s 100% Panatag World.

This event is a fun-filled educational expo made especially for families so they can learn tips and techniques on how to achieve 100% nutrition.

Last May 19, Juday graced the event’s staging at SM Megamall Activity Center and there she revealed her secret weapon: “I give my kids Lactum everyday, kesyo kumain sila ng veggies noong araw na iyon o hindi.

“Kasi, Lactum has all the nutrients na kailangan nila like iron, folic acid, vitamin B12…’yan lahat kasi ng mga 'yan kailangang kailangan ng katawan nila sa paglaki so importante ‘yan.

“Iyan talaga ang binibigay ko para 100 percent iyong nakukuha nilang nutrition at 100 percent panatag din ako.”

Catch the Lactum 100% Panatag World on June 2-3 at Puregold Caloocan; June 16-17 at Trinoma Mall, Quezon City; June 23-24 at CSI Mall Dagupan; June 30-July 1 at Puregold Tanza, Cavite; July 7-8 at Robinsons Mall Novaliches; July 14-15 Ever Gotesco Commonwealth; and July 28-29 at Waltermart North EDSA in Quezon City.

Judy Ann will be appearing on selected dates only.

The tropical splendor of Malibu beach was experienced in Manila recently as Cosmopolitan Philippines magazine celebrated its 15th anniversary with a grand bash held at the NBC Tent at The Fort, Taguig last May 17.

Cosmo girls and hunks who attended what is dubbed as the “sexiest party of the year” decked out in their alluring summer formals and partied the night away with the showbiz stars and personalities who graced the event.

Part of the celebration was to honor this year’s recipients of the Fun, Fearless Female Awards.

Awardees include artist Dina Gadia, environmentalist Bea Misa, entrepreneur Tamylyn Manaloto, runner Monica Torres, human rights journalist Pat Evangelista, advertising executive Corey Cruz, radio personality Jessica Mendoza, jewelry designer Nicole Wisenhunt, poet Mookie Katigbak, vegan chef Marie Gonzalez, youth leader Mildred Ople, fashion blogger Laureen Uy, singer Zia Quizon, and stellar sisters Anne Curtis and Jasmine Curtis.

Returning editor-in-chief Myrza Sison proudly led the toast to honor the magazine’s successful 15-year run.

“Others try to imitate—but no one can really duplicate—the Cosmo brand and its special place in the Filipina’s life.

“Tonight, we salute the Cosmo way of life and how it has enriched the life of the Filipina, emboldening her to live big and go after her dreams.

“Cosmo is happy to have played such a significant role, not just in thousands of young Filipina women’s lives, but also in our women’s history.

“We look forward to many more years of empowering many more thousands of Cosmo girls all over the country.”

Aside from the ladies, the magazine also honored its “15 Hottest Hunks Ever”— Derek Ramsay, Marc Nelson, Jon Hall, Enchong Dee, Fabio Ide, Hideo Muraoka, Aly Borromeo, Jay-R, Brent Javier, Jake Cuenca, Jon Avila, Aljur Abrenica, Will Devaughn, Rafael Rosell and Paulo Avelino.

The one-hour program was hosted by Joey Mead-King. Musical performances by Markki Stroem, Zia Quizon, The Romantics (led by the magazine’s own managing editor Camille Besinga) and DJ Mars Miranda enlivened the celebration.

Cinemalaya announces 2012 film entries
ABS-CBNnews.com
Posted at 05/26/2012 2:43 PM | Updated as of 05/26/2012 2:43 PM

MANILA, Philippines – Twenty-five films have been announced as the official entries to this year's Cinemalaya Festival.

The Cinemalaya Foundation and the Cultural Center of the Philippines on Friday announced the entries to each of the three categories the 2012 Cinemalaya Festival: the New Breed Full Length Feature category, the New Breed Short Film category, and the Director's Showcase category.

Ten films have been chosen for the full-length feature lineup of "new breed" directors -- each of which aims to "reflect and enrich Filipino identity and culture with fresh insight and artistic integrity."

Competing entries for the said category are: Emmanuel Palo's "Santa Nina", Gino Santos and Jeff Stelton's "The Animals", Vincent Sandoval's "Aparisyon", Mes de Guzman's "Diablo", Lemuel Lorca and Jerry Gracio's "Intoy Syokoy ng Kalye Marino", Alfred Aloysius Adlawan's "Ang Katiwala", Marietta Jamora's "Ang Nawawala", Paul Sta. Ana's "Oros", Julius Sotomayor Cena's "Mga Dayo", and Loy Arcenas' "Requieme".

Ten short films for the New Breed category were likewise picked to compete in the festival. These are: Nadjoua Bansil's "Bohe: Son of the Sea", Sigrid Andrea Bernardo's "Ang Paghihintay sa Bulong", Mario Celada's "Pasahero", Sheron Dayoc's "As He Sleeps", Marianito Dio Jr.'s "Sarong Aldaw", Emmanuel Escalona, Jr.'s "Balintuna", Hannah Espia's "Ruweda", Chuck Gutierrez's "Ulian", Richard Legaspi's "Manenaya", and Jarell Serencio's "Victor".

Experienced directors are also set to showcase their works in the Cinemalaya Festival. Adolfo Alix, Jr.'s "Kalayaan", Joey Javier Reyes' "Mga Mumunting Lihim", Raymond Red's "Kamera Obskura", Jun Lana's "Bwakaw", and Lawrence Fajardo's "Posas," will also compete in the Director's Showcase category.

Each of the 25 films were provided a seed grant of P500,000 by the Cinemalaya Foundation, and were monitored to guide "the new filmmaker to meet professional standards set by Cinemalaya in the financial, artistic and technical aspects of filmmaking, particularly casting decisions."

Of the foundation's involvement in the production of its film entries, Cinemalaya Foundation Chairman Tonyboy Cojuangco said it is careful to strike a balance between "the foundation's desire to catch potential technical and artistic flaws and the new filmmaker's passion to make bold decisions."

"Keeping this delicate balance, we believe, has been the strength of Cinemalaya as it continues to produce films that are daring in its storytelling yet cognizant of industry standards," he said.

Now on its eighth year, the Cinemalaya Festival will premiere the 25 film entries starting July 20-29 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines and the Ayala Cinemas in Greenbelt Makati and Trinoma Quezon City.

Pagmamahal ang ‘kontrata’ nina Judy Ann, Tito Alfie - Ryan Agoncillo
May 5th, 2012

GAGAWIN ngayong Sabado, Mayo 5, ang Talentadong Pinoy Battle of the Champions, at ihahayag ang panalo bukas, Mayo 6.

Isa sa laging iniimbita para mag-judge sa Grand Finals ng Talentadong Pinoy ang asawa ng host nitong si Ryan Agoncillo na na si Judy Ann Santos.

Gayunman, sinabi ni Ryan sa isang panayam na hindi niya alam kung pupuwede ang aktres.

Natanong din si Ryan kung totoo ba ang napabalitang kumalas na si Judy Ann sa manager nitong si Alfie Lorenzo at magiging Star Magic talent na.

“Sila pa rin. Matagal na namang usapan `yan, eh. But no, they’re still ano, eto nga nakita n’yo pinagalitan ako, eh (ni Tito Alfie). So, kung hindi siya ang manager `di hindi na ako papagalitan ni Tito Alfie,“ sabi ni Ryan, na nakita naming humalik at yumakap kay Tito A.

Wala raw kontrata sina Juday at Tito Alfie, taliwas sa tsismis na mag-e-expire na ang managerial contract ng dalawa this 2012. “Ang kontrata nila ay `yung pagmamahal nila sa isa’t isa, I doubt kung may hangganan `yun, so dire-diretso pa rin `yun,“ sey pa ng TV host.

At sa balitang pumirma na si Juday sa Star Magic, ayon kay Ryan, sa pagkakaalam daw niya ay hindi.

“Sa pagkakaalam ko, ha? Ite-text ko siya (Juday) mamaya. To be honest, hindi ko alam `yun, I doubt na mag-iiwanan sila ni Tito Alfie,“ paglilinaw pa ni Ryan.

Samantala, nagdaos ng ikatlong wedding anniversary sina Ryan at Budaday noong Abril 28, at nag-out of the country ang dalawa nang hindi kasama ang mga anak na sina Yohan at Lucho.

At nalaman namin na sa Maldives Island pala nagpunta ang mag-asawa, na walang ginawa kundi mag-swimming at mag-scubadiving. Pareho kasing mahilig sa tubig sina Ryan at Judy Ann. –Reggee Bonoan

Judy Ann, kapalit ni AiAi
May 23rd, 2012

SI Judy Ann Santos ang kapalit ni AiAi de las Alas sa movie project kasama sina Sen. Bong Revilla, Jr. at Vic Sotto para sa MMFF 2012.

“Ako lang naman, wala namang problema. Susmaryosep! Hello naman! Ako pa ba naman ang… (tatanggi sa project)? Nakakaloka naman ako kung sabihin ko na pag-iisipan ko muna.

“Ang sa akin lang, gusto ko lang makausap ‘yung company (M-Zet Films at Imus Production) para malaman ko kung ano ‘yung timeline ng shooting.

“Para hindi mag-overlap sa taping. Siyempre kasi ngayon nakasalalay na (ang oras) sa pamilya, sa mga anak, sa akin mismo. Hindi ko na kaya ‘yung araw-araw, oras-oras,” katwiran ng aktres.

Inamin ni Juday na nagkausap na sila ni AiAi tungkol dito.

“Actually, natanong ko na si AiAi about it. Siyempre, hindi ko naman puwedeng i-divulge ang napag-usapan namin. Pero nabanggit nga sa akin (ni AiAi) na, ‘Kinokonsider ka, bakla!’ ’Tapos sabi ko, ‘Ay ‘yon? Bongga!’” tumawang kuwento pa ni Juday.

Tinanong namin si Juday kung may basbas ang ABS-CBN na mag-guest siya sa ibang TV network, tulad sa TV5 na isa siya sa judges noong nakaraang finals ng Talentadong Pinoy.

“With ABS naman meron naman kaming (usapan), ano na lang ‘yun, parang respeto lang din nila sa amin ni Ryan, na hindi na kailangan pang barilin kung halimbawang mag-guest ako kay Ryan or kay Ate Sharon (Cuneta, sa TV5 din).

“Even with GMA, ganu’n din naman, hindi naman ako as in super-exclusive ng ABS. For teleseryes, I am exclusive with them,” pahayag ng aktres. – Reggee Bonoan

Judy Ann, Gladys Share Thoughts On Celebrity Twitter Issues
By NR RAMOS
May 26, 2012, 4:24pm

MANILA, Philippines - Judy Ann Santos says she perfectly understands her fellow celebrities who sometimes lose their cool when dealing with bashers on Twitter, noting Sharon Cuneta and how she reacted when an ABS-CBN executive supposedly posted seemingly malicious messages that alluded to the Megastar’s daughter, KC Concepcion, on the social networking site.

According to Santos, she might have done the same thing, if not more, given the situation.

“Baka maging halimaw ako, baka higit pa,” said she in an interview with push.com on May 26.

Santos said that people should learn to think twice before posting anything through the popular microblogging site.

“Kasi may mga bagay talaga na hindi na lang dapat tini-tweet... ngayon mag-tweet ka ng anything sa isang tao, siyempre ‘yung nang magre-react ang nanay. Lalo na’t siya ang naghirap diyan at siya ‘yung nakakakilala sa bata. Especially when you work for a major company. Wala na dapat ganyan dahil it’s a very sensitive topic to begin with,” she said.

The 34-year-old actress also told Push that she almost got into the same situation a few years back after hearing some not-so-pleasant comments about her son Lucho in the media.

“Merong kung anu-ano ding nagsabi. Sabi nga ng asawa ko sa akin, ‘Huwag ka na kasing magbasa ng comments,’ pero maiiwasan mo ba? Gusto mong pumatol pero naisip mo na lang itong mga ito, basta may masabi lang,” she related.

“Pero at the same time naisip ko din na it’s not worth my time, it’s not worth the effort dahil una hindi ko sila kilala and maybe it made them feel good to say those words about my kid. At saka mas masaya ang buhay ko eh. Bakit naman ako magpapaapekto pa sa kanilang hindi masasaya ang buhay?” she added.

Meanwhile, in a separate interview, Gladys Reyes, who counts Cuneta as Godmother in her marriage to actor Christopher Roxas, said she feels bad that the situation got out of hand.

“Nakakalungkot lang na kailangang humantong sa ganoon,” she said in an interview with PEP on May 25.

But just like Santos, she understands where Cuneta is coming from.

“Alam n'yo, kapag nanay ka, ang sakit naman talaga kapag may nang-bash sa mga anak mo,” she said.

“Minsan, ‘yung anak baka tatahimik na lang ‘yan. Pero ang nanay, baka hindi talaga kayanin na tumahimik, she added.

She then went on to call for responsible “Tweeting.”

“Siyempre, entitled naman ang bawat isa sa nararamdaman niya. At ‘yung Twitter, pampublikong networking site na rin ‘yan, ‘di ba? Kahit sino puwedeng magpahayag sa nararamdaman niya. So, respeto lang talaga siguro. Importante rin na think before you tweet,” she said.
