This is what Judy Ann Santos said about the secret of longevity.
The “Queen of Philippine Soap Opera” is Judy Ann Santos, and this is the secret of her long and thriving career in show business.
2024 Metro Manila Film Festival Best Actress Judy Ann Santos is one of the public figures people look up to in the show business industry. She is the “Queen of Philippine Soap Opera,” and she is called by this moniker for many reasons.
She started working when she was 8 and has worked non-stop since then until she settled down. Santos stepped out of the limelight after marrying actor-host Ryan Agoncillo and focused on her most important roles – as a mother and wife. Apart from this, she also established her business in the food and beverage industry.
In a previous article, Judy Ann clarified that she is not retiring yet. She just lay low in acting. She remains open for new ones, but now, she has the freedom to choose whether to accept them or not.
She shared, “I would always work with my producers both ways na parang if I can get this, then you can get this. Kasi para fair. Kung hindi naman, I totally get it.”
Santos recently revealed the secret behind her lasting success in showbiz. With over 40 years in the industry, how did she manage to stay relevant for so long?
“Siguro kasi totoo lang,” she quickly expressed. She is also not scared, as she has always been true and has nothing to hide, and added, “Basta naman mahal mo yung ginagawa mo at patas kang makipaglaban sa bawat taong kasama mo sa trabaho, malayo naman na tatagal ka talaga kasi you’re always top of mind. That’s one.”
The second thing she mentioned was making sure she’s not a problem to work with to maintain a smooth working relationship with them. Lastly, she stressed about was when you do things correctly, and even exceed expectations, opportunities will keep coming.
“So ako, lagi ako nakadepende sa kung ano yung kutob ko sa isang project. And I make it a point that I just have fun with the cast, with the crew, with the production,” she said, as she believes that a peaceful and happy set will always have a quality output.
