The talented host actress said she wasn’t disappointed by the news because it allowed her to focus and perform better on her projects.</div><div><br/></div><div>“Actually<i> sa akin </i>okay<i> lang. </i>In-explain <i>ko rin naman sa kanila na kung ipapagawa niyo sa akin yung MasterChef, hindi ko kayang pagsabayin yun at yung teleserye kasi paniguradong may isang mag-su-</i>suffer. <i>Ayoko naman ng ganun. Ayoko namang mag</i>-suffer <i>yung </i>performance<i> ko doon. Ganun din dito sa pag-ho</i>-host <i>kasi bagong pasok lang ako dito, babarubalin ko na</i>. So <i>naintindihan naman nila</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The 34-year-old actress said that despite the delay in airing the series, nothing has changed with regards to preparing for Against All Odds. “<i>Tuloy pa rin, wala namang nabago</i> and<i> wala namang nadagdag, wala ring nabawas. Tuloy pa rin siya </i>definitely.<i> Nag</i>-shoot <i>na kami. Marami na. Naka-isang linggo na kami, naka-</i>pilot week<i> na kami. May mga </i>considerations <i>na kailangan gawin kasi pati sa </i>production, <i>maraming kailangan i-</i>adjust with the <i>teleserye. Hindi naman ma-de</i>-delay <i>masyado yung</i> taping<i>, yung</i> airing <i>lang</i>,” she shared.</div><div><br/></div><div>Juday also admitted that she enjoys working with her newest leading man Sam Milby. “In fairness <i>may </i>acting<i> si </i>Sam<i> ha. </i>In fairness<i> kasi kung wala naman siyang </i>acting <i>siyempre malalaman naman yun pag sinabihan siya ng </i>director. <i>May</i> acting <i>siya. Yun nga lang ang problema lang niya talaga ngayon</i> is <i>yung pagsasalita niya. Nahihirapan talaga siya pero natutuwa ako dun sa </i>effort<i> na pinapakita niya na gustong-gusto niya talaga mag</i>-Tagalog, <i>ayaw naman ng dila niya</i> so at least <i>may </i>effort,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Juday also commented on reports that Sam feels intimidated by her. “<i>Sabi niya yun pero</i> feeling<i> ko naiintimidate siya kasi nabubulol siya. Pero kasi may </i>effort<i> siya mag</i>-<i>Tagalog. Gusto ko naman yung</i> effort <i>na yun sa kanya na mag-Tagalog siya. Kaya nakakatuwa naman din. Pero siguro natatakot siya. Hindi ko alam eh.</i> Actually <i>diri-diretso lang kami, wala kaming </i>take one take two take three. Continuous roll <i>lang kami kung may magkamali man basta diri-diretso lang kami,</i>” she explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>The <i>MasterChef</i> host also talked about her relationship with her longtime manager Alfie Lorenzo. “Okay <i>naman kami. Parang kaming mag-nanay na away-bati, tampuhan-bati. Si tito</i> Alfie <i>siyempre bilang</i> pioneer <i>sa industriya na ito siyempre meron siyang mga bagay na i-e</i>-explain<i> sa ‘yo na akala mo hindi nangyayari pero</i> after a while<i> maiisip mo na, ‘Ah oo nga ano, nangyari nga,’ yung mga ganun. Minsan matatawa ka sa mga panukala niya, may punto. Strikto pero marami kasi siyang alam dito sa industriya</i> so <i>makikinig ka lang din. Basta makinig ka lang at intindihin mo lang yung sinasabi niya, wala kayong magiging problema</i>,” she explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>Catch Judy Ann Santos on <i>MasterChef Pinoy Edition</i> on weekdays before <i>Be Careful With My Heart</i> on ABS-CBN’s Umaganda block.
