Guess what Judy Ann Santos’ dream role is?
“Gusto ko naman, gusgusin ako. O ‘di kaya pulubi,” said the award-winning actress.
Yes, she will go out of her way to research to know how life is.
She will agree to live with them in their house, if she will be allowed to do so.
Judy Ann said, she and her family lived an ordinary life before she entered showbiz.
She met the late entertainer writer, Alfie Lorenzo, who asked her if she wants to be in showbiz.
“But you need to also help yourself,” Jude Ann recalled Alfie telling her. “Hindi dahil artista ka na, you leave everything na to fate.”
The former child actress acknowledges the help of her brother, Jeffrey Santos, who entered showbiz ahead of her. “I can’t thank my brother, Jeffrey, enough,” she said. “He helped and encouraged me to go on, even if Tito Alfie would scold and insult me from head to foot if he heard anything not good being said about me.
“Feeling ko, in any business, hindi lang tiyaga ang kailangan. Kailangan din maging mga iba’t ibang uri ng pangungutya o pami-mintas and dapat kayanin tanggapin o yakapin kaya.
“After all, in the end, ikaw pa rin at ang iyong pamilya ang higit na makinabang.
“And don’t forget to thank the Lord always,” Judy Ann further said.
