Judy Ann Santos, Piolo Pascual on working together again: Just like old times
'Tawa lang kami ng tawa kasi it’s still like old times. Wala naman nabago. Parang dati lang,' says Piolo

MANILA, Philippines – It’s been a while since Judy Ann Santos and Piolo Pascual last worked together, and then they briefly reunited on Friday, July 22 as Piolo welcomed Judy Ann to the Sun Life family as one of the new ambassadors of the financial services company. 

In separate interviews with reporters after the press conference, both stars talked about working together again.

Nakakatuwa. Wala tawa lang kami ng tawa kasi it’s still like old times. Wala naman nabago. Parang dati lang,” Piolo said about working with his former leading lady.

(It’s wonderful. Nothing, we just keep on laughing because it’s like old times. Nothing has changed. It’s just like before.)

Asked if he felt a bit uncomfortable since they haven’t worked together for some time, Piolo said, “We’re good. I’m so excited because Sun Life got her to be part of the team so at least we get to work together pero sa pelikula, [hopefully] some time soon.”

Piolo also answered a persistent issue that he and Judy Ann had a falling out in the past.

“We’ve always been okay. If there was ever a problem before, we were able to talk about it because siyempre hindi mo naman pwede isantabi yung relationship (you can’t just set the relationship aside), yung pinagsamahan (what we’ve been through). So Juday and I have always been okay,” he said.

Judy Ann also gave her side on the issue in a separate interview.

Okay naman. Nagbabatian naman kami. Kaya natatawa ako kanina kasi feeling ng tao magkagalit kami. Hindi kami magkagalit,” she said.

(We’re okay. We greet each other. That’s why I was laughing a while ago because people feel we’re not okay. We’re not angry at each other.)  

Nagbabatian kami pag nagkikita kami. We’re older now. We’re more mature.

(We greet each other when we see each other. We’re older now. We’re more mature.)

“Minamagnify lang ng fans siguro yung thought na ‘pag nagkasalubong, ‘pag nagkita… maybe malaki yung factor na matagal kami hindi nagkatrabaho.

(Fans just magnify the thought that when we see bump into each other, when we see each other… maybe because it was a big factor that we have both haven’t worked together in a long time.)

 

“So isang malaking event para sa kanila na magkita at magkasama kami sa isang press con. But you know, we’re okay,” Judy Ann said.

(So it’s a big event for them when they see us together in a press conference. But you know, we’re okay.)

Like Piolo, Judy Ann said she is looking forward to working with him on-screen soon.

Oo naman. Lagi ko naman sinasabi na walang possible ‘di ba?” she said. “Parang everytime na may press con hindi naman nawawala yung pangalan ni Piolo sa mga tanong sa akin and I’ll always welcome [these] sa pag-answer na, ‘Yes, in time, magkakatrabaho kami. Walang impossible.”

(Of course. I always said nothing is impossible right? It’s like every time there’s a press con, Piolo’s name will crop up when people ask me and I’d always welcome these, answering, ‘Yes, in time, we will work together. Nothing is impossible.)

Basta mabigyan yung tamang pagkakataon, ng tamang istorya, ma-plantsa yung mga dapat pagusapan, bakit hindi?” she said. 

(For as long as the timing is right, the story is right and everything has been ironed out, why not?)

Judy Ann and Piolo’s love team was one of the most popular tandems, as they starred in various movies and soap operas. Their films include Kahit Isang Saglit, Bakit Di Totohanin, Till There Was You, and Don’t Give Up on Us.

 

Judy Ann is now married to Ryan Agoncillo with whom she has 3 kids, while Piolo is a single father to son Iñigo, who is now also in showbiz. – Rappler.com
