Judy Ann wants twins
Although actress-TV host Judy Ann Santos and husband Ryan Agoncillo are open to having another baby, she admits it is hard to raise a child.
“Napapag-usapan, pero hanggang usap pa lang,” Judy Ann told Yahoo! Philippines OMG! and some members of the press during her photoshoot for “MasterChef” on Wednesday, October 3.
She adds that despite hers and Ryan’s successful careers, ensuring a bright future for the children is still a challenge.
“Madaling gumawa ng bagets pero mahirap magpalaki ng bata sa totoong buhay. Kahit na sabihin pa nating artista ka at madaling pumasok ang trabaho sa iyo, matatakot ka pa rin eh kung hanggang saan ang kaya mong ibigay para sa magandang buhay ng anak mo.”
Hoping for twins
The couple doesn’t mind having twins as their next children after Yohan and Lucho.
“Ngayon kasi perfect balance, tig-isa kami. Kung sakaling magkakaron kami ng anak, gusto naming kambal. Magkakampi yung kambal, magkakampi si Lucho and Yohan. Kasi kapag isa lang yung madadagdag, may isang maiiwan palagi. Nakakaawa naman. Tsaka kung magdadagdag ka, eh di damihan mo na,” Judy Ann said.
She is busy with her upcoming project “MasterChef Pinoy Edition” and will return to primetime drama with “Against All Odds.” After hosting the junior edition of “MasterChef,” Judy Ann said she is excited for the adult edition as the challenges will be tougher.
Will she change her hosting style for the adult edition?
“Siguro, mas kelangan lang magpakita ng kaunting tapang at pagiging prangka. Pero kung minsan kasi, emotional akong tao,” Judy Ann replied.
She is also prepping for her new TV drama, where Judy Ann stars with Sam Milby, KC Concepcion and Jessy Mendiola. Judy Ann’s co-stars predict that they believe “Against All Odds” will be a success because of Judy Ann.
“Naniniwala kasi ako ang isang teleserye hindi iyan magwo-work kung isa lang ang papanoorin. Siyempre magbi-blend ka sa co-stars mo. Hindi naman pwedeng ikaw lang ang magpapagana ng barko. Tulong-tulong kayo. May conscious effort iyon sa lahat ng artista kaya sila ang napili doon kasi kaya nila,” she said.
Cybercrimes
Meanwhile, Judy Ann, who admits she is not a techie person, is wary of giving her opinion on Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
While she acknowledges the reasons of those who are against it, Judy Ann said she approves of the need to protect the welfare of children. Celebrities are often targets of online attacks and criticisms.
“Wala akong karapatan magbigay ng opinion dahil unang-una, wala akong Twitter, hindi ako techie. Siguro yung iba kaya sila nagrereact ng hindi maganda kasi ito na nga lang yung pinaka-way para mabigay yung opinion nila sa ibang tao.”
Judy Ann said people can still freely express their opinions, but they have to make sure they can “stand up for it.”
“Okay lang rin naman para maprotektahan ang mga bata, teenagers. Sa totoo lang, nagiging violent ang mga bata dahil sa Internet. Aminin naman natin iyon na marami silang natututunan kahit hindi muna dapat, na hindi natin hawak,” she said.
Judy Ann added that the bill must be studied well and the clauses clarified.
“Kung ipapatupad iyon, hihimayin siguro muna dapat ng maigi, kung ano yung mga bagay na dapat i-ban. Yung mga salita na hindi pwedeng sabihin, hanggang saan lang ba sila dapat magsalita. Hanggang saan sila dapat magkomento.”
