Juday nagpa-tutor kay Ryan kaya gumaling mag-host

MANILA, Philippines - Si Ryan Agoncillo ang nagsisilbing personal tutor ni Judy Ann Santos sa pagho-host kaya naman super comfortable na siya. “He’s really my energy booster when it comes to hosting kasi siya naman ang mas bihasa. Alam niya kabado ako, takot ako when it comes to hosting. Ang advice niya, to read a lot, na ginawa ko naman and it helps kasi limited ang vocabulary ko before. Sabi rin niya, be confident, listen carefully sa sinasabi ng mga kinakausap mo. Hindi ako nahihiyang magtanong sa kanya and he corrects me kapag mali ang pagkaintindi ko sa English phrases,” pag-amin ni Mrs. Agoncillo kahapon sa grand launch ng bagong programa niyang I Do, isang realiseryeng mag-uumpisa nang mapanood sa August 30 sa ABS-CBN.

Ayon kay Juday, aasahan ng mga manonood na magbibigay siya ng mga payo sa couples na base sa kanyang personal na karanasan bilang isang asawa at ina. Limang taon nang kasal si Juday at may dalawa nang anak sila ni Ryan.

“Ang pinaka-challenge sa akin dito ay ang bigyan ng advice ang couples na pwede nilang isabuhay. Noong tinanggap ko itong show, hindi ko talaga alam anong pinasok ko, na-excite lang ako na original concept siya. Hindi ko alam na sa proseso parang magiging life coach pala ako. Ang sarap maging part sa journey ng isang couple na magpapakasal,” ani Juday.

Kaya naman may pagkakataon na umuuwi siyang tulala dahil na-absorb niya ang problema ng couples na kasali.

Titira ang couples sa tatlong bahay sa loob ng I Do village, ngunit magkahiwalay na matutulog ang mga babae sa mga lalaki.

Ayon kay Juday, natutunan niya sa show na wala sa tagal ng pagsasama ang tibay ng isang relasyon. “Ang sa akin, sana makakuha ng inspiration ang mga taong makakapanood ng show. Ginawa namin ito para makapag-inspire ng mga tao na ‘wag basta-bastang sumabak sa kung anu-anong sitwasyon. Lahat ng bagay ngayon dapat pinag-iisipan,” dagdag niya. Linggu-linggong haharap ang couples sa mga hamon at sessions na hango sa mga totoong sitwas­yon sa buhay mag-asawa at pamilya. 

Sa pagsisimula ng I Do, makikilala ang couples at ang sari-sari nilang kwento, kabilang na ang magkasosyo sa negosyo, ang Koreano at Pinay, ang engaged na magkasintahan, ang high school sweethearts, ang isang couple na may matinding pinagdaanan ang nakaraan, ang tatlong buwan pa lang na nagsasama, ang dating magkapitbahay, ang couple na 19 taon ang agwat sa edad, at isang batang couple na may anak na.

Sa huli, ang taongbayan ang mamimili ng winning couple na siyang magwawagi ng P1 milyon, house and lot, at ang kanilang inaasam na grand wedding.

Sharon kinamuhian ang sarili

Matapos manahimik ng matagal-tagal, naglabas ng nararamdaman si Megastar Sharon Cuneta sa kanyang Facebook account tungkol sa kanyang pinagdaraanan sa kasalukuyan. “I was going through a mid-life crisis, the effects of which I could never have foreseen. My reaction to it was awful; I became rebellious because I hated myself for the way I looked and the time I continued to waste by not focusing and working on bettering my own person. And each time I rebelled, often offending other people by being inconsiderate of their time and all else that I used to respect in and about them, I just felt worse and worse about myself. I was not “me.” I hit mid-life and didn’t know how to deal with it. I was lost.                     

“And then when I got used to it, I saw what had changed around me. And I didn’t know what else to do then but what I knew best to do to cope with any bad situation in my life: WORK, NEVER STOPPING, WORK LIKE A ROBOT... It was okay when I loved what I was doing. It wasn’t okay when I felt my “gifts” weren’t being used to the fullest, or correctly, or even at all. So this became a vicious cycle. Ignoring that I had gained so much weight and therefore had limited myself to certain movie roles when there was so much more I wanted to do... And forgetting that as I was doing all this, time was passing me by,” bahagi ng post ni Sharon.

Marami pang ibang mga sinabi si Mega kasama ang pagpatol niya sa bashers. “I cannot apologize for the person I am. I am transparent. I cry when I’m sad, I laugh uncontrollably when I’m happy, I am frank and say what I think when any part of my person or property is violated. I was very matiisin for many, many years, and lots of people took advantage of that. So very many. So I learned to stand up for myself. Twitter was one of the few places that provoked me to show that side of me, but make no mistake about it -- I am a fighter. I am not a doormat. And like every other human being, I deserve respect, especially because I know I am not a bad person. My mistake was I should’ve picked my battles like I always used to. I was shocked and unprepared, and so I was wrong to react the way I often did.
“I am just so tired of having to defend the kind of person I am, when I know that God knows exactly what kind of heart I have. It is very painful when you are the target of some and made to feel so badly over someone or something they say you are and that you know you are not. But I know I am not without fault. I am the farthest thing from perfect. But God knows I try my best.”
