Judy Ann Santos Topbills New Teleserye 'Against All Odds', Joined by a Powerhouse Cast

The ‘Queen of Teleseryes’ Judy Ann Santos is set to make her grand return on primetime television via upcoming drama series on ABS-CBN titled Against All Odds. 

Judy Ann will be joined by a powerhouse cast that includes Sam Milby, KC Concepcion, John Estrada, Mylene Dizon, Jessy Mendiola, Joseph Marco, Bryan Termulo, Mr. Tirso Cruz III, and Ms. Coney Reyes.

Judy Ann Santos was last seen on a TV soap via Habang May Buhay in 2010 where she played nurse Jane Alcantara. Now in Against All Odds, we will see a different Judy Ann as the series will promote women empowerment.

With an ensemble of great actors and a great story, we just can't wait to see the return of 'the queen' on television. This will be the first time that Judy Ann and Sam Milby will be working together on a teleserye. Meanwhile, Sam had already worked with the KC Concepcion in the movie Forever and A Day and with Jessy Mendiola via MMK last February. 

From Budoy, Mylene Dizon and Mr. Tirso Cruz III will add spice in Against All Odds. With the addition of  John Estrada and Madam Anna Manalastas herself, Coney Reyes (who also worked with Juday in Ysabella), this new teleserye is just ready for greatness.

Another grand ABS-CBN teleserye in the making, Against All Odds (if you know what i mean).

Judy Ann Santos Back on Teleserye with Sam Milby

Queen of Teleseryes, Ms. Judy Ann Santos will be having her comeback teleserye together with Sam Milby. According to reports, Sam Milby and Judy Ann Santos will also be joined by Jessy Mendiola and KC Concepcion.

Sam Milby and Judy Ann Santos will star in an upcoming teleserye

Both Judy Ann and Sam have their last appearance in their own teleseryes way back in 2010 with Judy Ann doing the medical drama Habang May Buhay and Sam doing 1DOL opposite Sarah Geronimo. However, Judy Ann hosted Junior Masterchef last year while Sam had his teleserye and MMK guestings.

This will be the first time that Judy Ann and Sam Milby will be working together on a teleserye. Both of them are excited with the project. Judy Ann said in an interview that the material is very good and is not a typical story.

“Kasi may pressure na kasama (dahil matagal na din na hindi nakagawa ng teleserye). Pero maganda ’yung project. Hindi siya ’yung tipikal na teleserye na nawalang kapatid, nawalang nanay, may balat ang anak, walang ganu’n. This is about women empowerment kaya maganda siya," said Judy Ann.

Meanwhile, if ever Jessy Mendiola and KC Concepcion will be included in the cast, Sam will be more comfortabel as he already worked with the two. KC did a movie with Sam (Forever and A Day) while Sam starred in an MMK episode with Jessy Mendiola last February.

Aside from the teleserye, Judy Ann will be starring in her indie film, Mga Mumunting Lihim with Iza Calzado, Janice De Belen and Agot Isidro. She is also considered to replace Ai Ai Delas Alas in an MMFF 2012 entry together with Vic Sotto and Sen. Bong Revilla. Ai Ai was reportedly joining the cast but reports claimed that Star Cinema did not allow the Comedy Queen to go with the project.

Sharon Cuneta Reacts on Eric John Salut's Tweet about Daughter KC's "Baho"

Megastar Sharon Cuneta flooded her twitter account with reactions regarding ABS-CBN's ad prom head Eric John Salut's tweet about daughter KC Concepcion's supposed "baho."

The said tweet was sent to a certain @ladymars12 who reacted to the former's earlier tweet: "Kilala ko na kung kaninong fans ang bitter sa succes ng #EveryBreathUTake. Obvious!..." (referring to KC's fans).

Here is a screenshot of Eric John Salut's tweet (a reply to @ladymars12): "Gusto mo ng baho ng idolo mo? Dami kong alam. Di mo kakayanin."

Then the tweet got Sharon really upset which prompted her to react and answer bashers. Here is the screen shot of some of Sharon's tweets:

Here is a transcript of her tweets to Eric John Salut and Roxy Liquigan:

Eric, what's the problem with my daughter? Has she done anything karumal-dumal? Or do you guys just choose to have a problem with her? Di ba puedeng mag-move-on na lahat?

If @ericjohnsalut or anyone else says may 'baho' si KC they better support it w/ LOTS of proof/evidence/witnesses. Kasi kung gusto namin manira, ang dami naming kilalang involved noon at ngayon.

"If KC has done anything to upset anyone, or bring shame to our family, or ruin my trust in her, or ruin my NAME, AKO MISMO ANG BUBUGBOG SA ANAK KO AT HIHINGI NG TAWAD SA PUBLIKO BAGO PA MAKARATING SA MGA NANINIRA."

Some tweets pointed Sharon as palengkera but Sharon said that she just couldn't hide her disappointment. because it's too much this time. Sharon also underlined that she didn't expect the remark to come from the advertising and promotions head of ABS-CBN, where KC is a contract star.

‘The X Factor Philippines’ Begins Search for Next Singing Superstar

The X Factor Philippines brings together four of the country’s biggest names in the recording industry across generations, Concert King Martin Nievera, Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano, international singing sensation Charice, and Asia’s Queen of Songs Pilita Corrales, as celebrity judge-mentors who will start touring the country this week and begin the search for the next Pinoy singing superstar.

“It’s such an honor to be part of the show. I’ve been there. I joined singing contests and I know how they feel. So, as a judge-mentor, I’m just going to be kind but honest to them,” said Charice who is the youngest ‘The X Factor’ judge-mentor in the history of the international franchise.

Martin also expressed his excitement to work with his fellow “The X Factor Philippines” judge-mentors.

“Gary and I have a great working relationship. Tita Pilita is my mentor. Not too many people know it though, but she was the one who discovered me and said that I have a future in the industry. Charice is the youngest with most experience so I’m sure she has a lot to bring so I am just excited to work with all of them,” he explained.

Gary, on the other hand, is just as excited as Martin to start the show especially on mentoring the contestants. He also shared his stand on the possible competition that may happen among the judge-mentors.

“I am that kind of guy that if I challenge anyone— it’ll be myself. It will not be for the other judges because the other judges have their own idea on who’s going to be the next big thing. Whether I get to mentor the Boys, the Girls, the Over 30s, or the Groups, I hope that in the end it’ll be one from my group who will win. But knowing the judges we have, it will not be a challenge to put down anybody but rather bringing out the best in whomever the contestant is,” said Gary.

Meanwhile, Pilita, who is not new in judging talent searches, admitted she is quite challenged because the show is entirely different from the past shows or judging she did.

“There is mentoring involved here. We are not just looking for the voice. We are looking for a personality you can sell worldwide. If we are looking for someone who sings well, there are thousands in this country, on every corner of the street but they need to have that ‘x factor.’ We can’t even define it but once we see it on someone, we would know,” said Pilita.

The celebrity judge-mentors will soon tour the country together with host KC Concepcion.

"I'm flattered talaga na pinili ako bilang isa sa mga judges. X Factor kasi iba din yon. Yung X factor na yon, kaya siya X di mo masasabi kung sino ang may X na yon. Maaaring sasabin ng tao what does the X stand for? We don't know but it's all going to be seen. It's going to be experienced and interpreted in the contestant's own way and the judges will see that. Yung tipong di ko alam pero ang galing noon, yun ang x-factor."

The Philippine version of The X Factor will be hosted by actress-singer KC Concepcion, who has been going around the country for the show's auditions.
