Young superstar Judy Ann Santos and hubby Ryan Agoncillo were surprised how the media came to know about their plan to have a second honeymoon, which could either be a Mediterranean or Carribean trip. In an interview with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and other members of the press at grand press conference of Ha-bang May Buhay, which was held at Fernwood Gardens in Quezon City last night, January 26, the 31-year-old actress admitted that they are planning to take a break from show business and spend quality time together.
“Wala pa pong definite date, nasa pagpaplano pa lang,” Juday said. “Siyempre, marami pang trabaho, sayang naman kung hindi niya tatapusin ang mga trabaho niya ngayon. Tatapusin muna lahat ng commitments, ako din tatapusin muna ang Juday-Sarah [Geronimo] movie bago ako umalis.” This month-long, outof-the-country trip will be a triple celebration for the couple—Ryan is celebrating his 31st birthday on April 10, Judy Ann is turning 32 on May 11, and their first wedding anniversary is on April 28.
“Hindi na kami maghahanap ng iba pang regalo for anniversary, birthday niya, at birthday ko, ‘yon na ‘yon!” Judy Ann said with a laugh.
However, she stressed, “Siyempre, bina-budget pa lang namin kung saan kami makakarating sa pera na mayroon kami ngayon. Ako, excited ako ngayon kasi nakita ko si Ryan kung paano siya magtrabaho nang todo-todo, e, wala talaga siyang pahinga. So, I’m really looking forward to this trip.”
When asked if they would bring along their adopted daughter Yohan with them, Judy Ann said that they might not travel with her if the plan pushes through. “Kasi after naman ng wedding namin, ‘yong honeymoon namin ay sinama talaga namin si Yohan para makita niya talaga ang Boracay, ma-enjoy niya ang beach. So, basically, ito pa lang ang honeymoon,” she explained.
Their trip is not an easy deci sion, said Juday. “Pero siyempre, hindi ko alam kung paano ko hihiwalay ang aking anak. Kasi, ngayon pa lang namin iniisip na kung mawawala ako ng isang buwan, ang hirap!”
PLANNING TO HAVE A BABY.
The actress admitted that aside from getting some rest abroad, they also hope that this trip would give them an opportunity to have a baby of their own.
“Kasi ngayon na lang ulit kami makakaalis ng Pilipinas, ngayon lang ulit kami makakapagbakasyon. ‘Yong two months na preparation na ginawa namin for the wedding, hindi naman kami umalis, nagtratrabaho pa rin talaga kami,” she said.
The “queen of teleseryes” also related that it’s been almost a year since she started her “pregnancy work-up,” which was suggested by her doctor.
“Nasa work-up stage po ako ngayon,” she told the media. “Ayaw ko munang i-subject si Ryan sa mga check-ups kasi ibang usapan na ‘yon, e. Sa ngayon, kung puwedeng ako na lang muna, ako na muna.”
As part of this program, Judy Ann explained, “You’ll take medications like folic acid in preparation ng buong pangangatawan mo, pati na rin sa utak ng bata. ‘Yon ang explanation sa akin bilang first time naman akong magbubuntis, hindi ko naman talaga alam ang mga ‘yan. Isa rin ‘yong mapabilis [ang pagbubuntis], para maging fertile ka.”
Meanwhile, the Kapamilya star is also consistent in saying that she wants to have twins on her first pregnancy.
“Gusto ko talaga kambal kasi... Siyempre, sinasabi ko lang na para isang bugahan na lang. Hindi, e, mas masaya kasi kapag marami, di ba? Mas masaya ‘yong aligaga ka, hindi mo alam kung sino ang uunahin, gusto kong ma-experience,” Juday said.
