Teleserye Queen Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo

I must admit I'm no Judy Ann fan, being among those who made fun of her "siopao" face during her early years in showbiz. Meaning, she has a fat rounded face like a Chinese steamed bun.

At the height of the Mara Clara soap opera, which ran from 1992 to 1997, I was rooting for the kontrabida Gladys Reyes rather than its heroine.

But through the years, I have come to develop a liking for Miss Judy Ann Santos. I started to take notice in 2004, the year where she had a string of critically-acclaimed works such as the drama-suspense film "Sabel" by veteran director Joel Lamangan, the sci-fi TV drama series, "Krystala", and the epic war film "Aishite Imasu 1941". I then realized she is not only a good but a great actress.

Juday's marriage to Ryan Agoncillo on April 2009, after a four-year relationship, finally forced me to reject my juvenile prejudices. Here she is on the cover of Celebrity Mom magazine (age is but numbers to her, right?).

Her radiance quickly disproves those who speculate about her breakup/annulment/separation from her husband!

So by now, I have no qualms about Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo being tagged as the "Queen of Teleserye" by ABS-CBN to help in the promotion of her new TV soap opera series, "Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala" (aired two weeks ago).

I have also come to realize why she garnered several awards, nominations and citations from various bodies such as Gawad PASADO Awards, Gawad TANGLAW Awards, Gawad GENIO Awards, Film Academy of the Philippines Luna Awards, FAMAS Awards (said to be the Philippine equivalent of the Oscars), PMPC Star Awards for TV, PMPC Star Awards for Movies, ENPRESS Golden Screen Awards, Metro Manila Film Festival Awards, Gawad Urian Awards, KBP Golden Dove Awards, Manila Festival, Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Gawad Amerika Awards, and the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival.
