Habang May Buhay Episode 2 sees the two brothers, Nathan and Sam having to part ways. Upon learning about the crime their sons got into, Manuel and Ellen immediately decide to hide them abroad; and on their supposed escape, Nathan and Sam get separated. Apparently, Nathan’s adoption papers are still jammed, and he couldn’t leave the country with his whole family, so he then decides to run away on his own, and change his name to Raon for his personal safety. On the other hand, Rose greatly suffers from the accident. Unfortunately, her fall badly damages her brain, thus leaving Jane with no other choice but to take good care of her. And since her mother is in great need of close attention, they had to live with her notorious aunt, Aida. (Source: Abs-cbn.com)

Habang May Buhay Pilot Episode: Fateful, Fatal Accidents

2010-02-01T11:58:00.000-08:00

Habang May Buhay Pilot Episode begins with a vehicular accident where a jeepney loses control, explodes, injures most of its passengers and even kills some of them. It is also an accident when Nathan sees his (adoptive) father, Dr. Manuel Corpuz, kissing his nurse (Rose) who happens to be his friend, Jing-Jing/Jane's mother. The last, unfortunate event happens when Sam (Nathan's adoptive brother) accidentally pushes Rose over the cliff while confronting her about the "kissing" incident with their father.

Waiting for two years for Habang May Buhay is indeed worthwhile. Its pilot episode easily gets the viewers' interest and makes us wanting to watch the next. Of course, we are all excited to see the grown-up Jane as portrayed by the queen of Pinoy soap opera, Ms. Judy Ann Santos. But so far, the younger Jane (played by Noemi Oineza), the young Nathan (Paul Salas) and the young Sam/David (John Manalo) are all doing a very good job, credits to the Abs-Cbn workshops and their trainors. Ms. Gina Alajar, as always, is at her best. She never seems to age, and can very well pass for a woman in her twenties. The rest of the cast are equally good as well - John Arcilla (playing Dr. Manuel Corpuz), Tetchie Agbayani (playing Mrs. Corpuz) and Makisig Morales (who has a very short exposure in this episode.)

The next episodes of Habang May Buhay are definitely a "must-see"! Congratulations, Abs-Cbn and the cast and crew of Habang May Buhay!

New Habang May Buhay Teaser

2009-12-16T15:07:00.000-08:00

Finally, Habang May Buhay will definitely be shown on the early part of 2010. Last November 2009, when ABS-CBN held its trade show for its upcoming programs for 2010, it was announced that "Habang May Buhay" will be ABS-CBN's opening salvo for 2010. Furthermore, it will also be ABS-CBN's first offering for the 60th Year of Philippine drama. So, I guess the looonnng, looonnng wait is "almost" finally over.

Let's take a peek at what's in store for Habang May Buhay, and see if it's really worth the wait. Here's the latest teaser (video) of Judy Ann Santos' latest and most awaited nurse-serye:

Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo Tie The Knot

2009-04-28T14:12:00.000-07:00

After almost a year of being engaged, celebrity couple Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo finally tied the knot early Tuesday morning, April 28 at San Juan Nepomuceno Church in San Juan, Batangas.

The private ceremony, which was closed to the media, started at around 7 a.m. and ended after an hour.

The wedding was officiated by Fr. Tito Caluag, the couple's spiritual adviser.

The couple's principal sponsors include -- Mon Isberto, Smart Communications spokesman; Bien Bautista, Ace photographer; Benjie Gonzales, Ryan's uncle from the US; Susie Entrata-Abrera, TV Host; Rory Quintos, TV & Movie Director; and Jane Buencamino, Judy Ann's road manager.Megastar Sharon Cuneta, Santos' "sister-in-showbiz", was the matron of honor while Agoncillo's brother, Dondi, stood as best man.
Some of the country's top singers performed during the ceremony. Agot Isidro sang the song "Runaway" while Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid sang "The Prayer" during the offertory.

Isidro and Alcasid performed "One Hand, One Heart" during Communion. The ceremony was attended by the couples' families and closest friends in and outside showbiz. Spotted at the event were Santos' mother, Carol, Senator Francis Pangilinan, KC Concepcion, Suzy Entrata, Paolo Abrera and directors Joyce Bernal and Rory Quintos.

As of posting time, the newly wed couple and their visitors are headed to an undisclosed private resort for the reception.

As early as last night, the couple and some of their guests were already spotted near the church to make sure that they will be present for the early wedding ceremony. The couple decided to marry at daybreak to signal the new start in their lives as a married couple.

Agoncillo and Santos were first paired in the teleserye "Krystala" where their romance blossomed. They have starred in two movies together, "Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo" and "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo" -- both of which have been heavy earners at the tills.

Their next project for ABS-CBN is the teleserye "George & Cecil."

Agoncillo proposed marriage to Santos on her 30th birthday last year. They revealed the engagement a month later. The couple have been mum about the actual date of their wedding with some news reports saying that the wedding was scheduled on May 2. Santos earlier said they plan to go to Mexico for their honeymoon, according to an SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon report. Santos, who turns 31 on May 11, has an adopted daughter named Johanna Lois or Yohan.

George And Cecil Premieres May 31, 2009

2009-04-12T13:48:00.000-07:00

George and Cecil will be the newest romantic comedy show on abs-cbn channel 2 that will bring back two very popular team-ups - (1) engaged couple Judy Ann Santos & Ryan Agoncillo and (2) Judy Ann Santos & Gladys Reyes of Mara Clara fame. Judy Ann and Ryan were last seen together on primetime tv in the teleserye Ysabella. Before that, they did Krystala where their real-life romance actually started.

Who could ever forget the tandem of Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes from Mara Clara days where the search for a measly diary took five long years. Even so, the popularity of that classic television series could not be surpassed. Anyways, that sort of plot is now obsolete because one can observe from the current teleseryes that everything is now fast-paced.

We can just imagine how excited the two stars were when they learned that they will do not only one show together again, but two.

“Yes nakakatuwa kasi dalawang shows yung magkasama kami ni Gladys and talagang na-miss namin ng bonggang-bongga ang isa’t-isa. Dun sa nurserye, parang pina-reenact ulit ni Direk Wenn (Deramas) yung eksena namin sa Mara Clara na nagsampalan at nagsabunutan. Talagang after the scene may mga kalmot kami pareho,” said the actress during the taping of George and Cecil in Antipolo last Friday, March 20.

Judy Ann further shared how she and Gladys have established an understanding when it comes to doing fight scenes—something which they have perfected after playing rivals for so long. “Gano’n naman kami ni Gladys. We don’t have any fight instructor. Basta bago lang yung eksena, ‘Mare ito na ‘to. Sorry na ha.’ Walang issue sa amin kung magkasakitan kami. Nagkabuhol-buhol na yung buhok namin nung ginawa namin yung eksena tapos hapung-hapo lang kami. Talagang sabi namin, 'Matanda na tayo ‘day.’ Hingal na hingal kasi kami.” And yet they merely laughed at the bruises they’ve acquired while working on their reunion project. “Si Gladys ang daming pasa sa tuhod kasi hindi ko napansin na natulak ko siya. Tapos yung sabunot niya sa buhok ko mga tatlong araw parang may pasa yung anit ko,” she happily recounted.

Viewers will also get to see that these two can be the best of friends on cam. “Opposite naman ng Habang May Buhay yung characters namin sa George and Cecil. Pareho kaming pulis na magbarkada. Siya naman yung kaibigan ko na madaming frustrations sa husband niya at sa biyenan niya. Kaya kapag may nahuhuli siyang tao na masama binubugbog niya, dun niya inilalabas lahat ng galit niya. Isipin mo maliit na babae nambubugbog ng malalaking mama, yung ganon. Breather din para sa aming dalawa.”

- Usapang Kapamilya, ABS-CBN Forum

George and Cecil will be a weekly sitcom on abs-cbn channel 2 and will be aired every Sunday, directed by Joey Reyes.

Habang May Buhay Updates

2009-01-24T17:51:00.000-08:00

So ... it's been a long, long, long time since we've heard anything about Habang May Buhay. There were talks that this most awaited first ever nurse-serye will start airing by February. Well ABS-CBN has released its line-up of new shows for February and Habang May Buhay doesn't happen to be one of them. Too bad. It's been more than a year now since lead star Judy Ann Santos and the rest of the cast and crew started taping their scenes, mostly in the U.S., and it's sad to think that up to now, there is still no definite date of showing. No one can tell when! Not even ABS-CBN ... not even Judy Ann's manager, Alfie Lorenzo ... not even Wikipedia! (Wikipedia's article on Habang May Buhay says, "... This article or section contains information about a scheduled upcoming television series. ... It may contain non-definitive information based on advertisements, a website or interviews. The information may change as the date of the series premiere approaches.") It's starting to get so frustrating, thinking that Tayong Dalawa, which only started taping late last year has now been on air for two weeks! I have nothing against Tayong Dalawa. It is a wonderful, high-quality TV production with a good storyline and powerhouse cast, but I hope Habang May Buhay will also be given the same kind, if not a better treatment that it deserves, considering its lead star is one of ABS-CBN's moneymakers and a premiere actress at that!

Anyways, so much for the ranting. The following are excerpts of Alfie Lorenzo's articles on Abante Tonite's Star Nga Siguro. They would at least give us an idea on the status of Habang May Buhay.

11 January 2009

Kahit isang taon iginarahe si Juday at hindi napanood sa nurserye niyang one year na in the making -- naging reyna si Juday ng mga commercial. Pinakamaraming commercials si Juday na nakasuporta sa mga programa ng GMA network at ABS-CBN.

Halos nagkakasabay pa ang labas ng commercials ni Juday sa dalawang network. And ‘yang tumatakbo ang Fitrum niya, sa kabila naman ang Pride soap niya -- then Maggi Magic Sarap, Lactasyd, Pantene. Nagpapaligsahan ang Fitrum at Pantene sa dami ng exposures sa dalawang network.

Kung kelan palipad uli si Juday for Hollywood ay saka inaapurang magteyping ito. Nu’ng hindi paalis si Juday, naka-relax lang ang staff and crew ng Habang May Buhay na ngayon ay may bago na namang direktor in Wenn Deramas. Kasi, magtatapos na ang Dyosa at walang assignment si Wenn kaya sa kanya ibinigay ni Enrico Santos ang nurserye ni Juday na nagsimulang Habang May Buhay, naging Humingi Ako Sa Langit (ng mga bagong direktor kaya?) at ibinalik sa Habang May Buhay. Enero 2008 nang mag-roll sa San Francisco ang nurserye cameras under Direk Mark Meily (of Baler) na pinalitan si Jeffrey Jeturian as original director. Pagbalik ng pilipinas, si Jerry Sineneng na ang direktor with Andoy Ranay. And now, si Wenn naman. Kelan kaya magte-takeover naman si Rory Quintos na dating direktor ni Juday sa past teleseryes niya?

24 January 2009

Nu’ng Huwebes nang gabi dumating si Juday mula Hollywood, at kinabukasan ay tuloy na siya ng taping ng Habang May Buhay nurserye na si Direk Jerry Sineneng pa ang nagdidirek, tapos lilipat na siya sa bagong ibang serye at maiiwan kay Direk Wenn Deramas ang Juday-Derek nurserye. Kung matutuloy ang usapan sa mismong birthday ko sa penthouse ng Imperial Palace Suites ay may bagong karakter ang papasok sa nurserye at bagong artista, na bagong katambal for Juday ang aming iiintrodyus. Alam n’yo naman si Juday, pag nalahian niya ng suwerte ay biglang sumisikat ang isang unknown. What more kung sikat na itong ipapareha kay Juday eh mas bongga at malakas ang laban! Nire-request pang magteyping si Juday ng ilang episodes for Your Song since hanggang ngayong linggo na lang ang kina Kim-Gerald, kasi, concentrated na sila sa Tayong Dalawa.

1 February 2009

Ewan ko ba kung bakit eksaktong 13 -14 years ago eh nagkakapareho ang mga pangyayari. Naging guest namin ni Inday Badiday sa Eye to Eye ang baguhang si Candy Pangilinan na nagpelikula na at lumiban muna sa mga impersonator’s act niya. Ang pinu-promote niyang movie from Viva Films ay ang Habang May Buhay starring Donna Cruz. 14 years after, nagteteyping ngayon si Candy Pangilinan sa nurserye ni Juday na ang title ay Habang May Buhay rin! Ang role ni Candy rito ay misis ni Michael Conan. Bwahahaha!!!!! Siguro nga, habang may buhay, hindi dapat mawalan ng pag-asa. Mapupulot at magagamit mo pa rin ang gamit na gamit na!

"Humingi Ako Sa Langit" Is Changed Back To "Habang May Buhay"

2008-12-18T19:04:00.000-08:00

The Philippines' most awaited first-ever Nurse-serye starring Ms. Judy Ann Santos was originally entitled "Habang May Buhay." It was later changed to "Humingi Ako Sa Langit". Just very recently, Alfie Lorenzo, Judy Ann's manager, said in his column, "Star Nga Ba" in Abante Tonite that they will again be using the original title, "Habang May Buhay." The reason, it seems, is basically either religious or superstitious.

He explained that he personally doesn't approve of including the word "langit" (heaven) in the title because he feels that it should solely belong to the One up there and not to be used for business or commercial purposes by anyone. He added that he and Ms. Charo Santos-Concio (ABS-CBN's top boss) had both agreed that "Habang May Buhay" is a more fitting title for the story of a nurse who takes care of sick people, while the title "Humingi Ako Sa Langit" is quite ambiguous in the sense that it provokes the question of 'what is really being asked from heaven' in this nurse-serye.

He further mentioned that before the title was changed, the tapings had been going on smoothly. After the (title) change, all kinds of problems started to crop up like conflicting schedules, frequent pack-ups, problems with the script and actors being pirated by other shows. Hence, Lorenzo seems to hint that he superstitiously attributes this to the title having the word "langit" in it.

Here's the theme song of Judy Ann Santos' Humingi Ako Sa Langit, the first ever "nurse-serye" in Philippine television.

HUMINGI AKO SA LANGIT

Pangarap ko'y
Makita kang
Naglalaro sa buwan

Inalay mo
Sa aking ang
Gabing walang hangganan

(Hindi mahanap/'Di mahagilap)
Sa lupa ang pag-asa
Nakikiusap (na lang/ sa buwan)

Himala,
Kasalanan bang
Humingi ako sa langit ng
Isang himala?
Kasalanan bang
Humingi ako sa langit ng
Isang himala?

Pangarap ko'y
Makita ang
Liwanag ng umaga

Naglalambing
Sa iyong mga mata

Judy Ann Says Playing ‘Nurse Jane’ Is Not Easy

2008-12-08T23:41:00.000-08:00

Award-winning actress Judy Ann Santos is very much happy with her role as Nurse Jane Alcantara on Habang May Buhay since it honed her acting skills all the more. The biggest challenge for her though is to familiarize herself with the medical terms and the proper handling of patients to make the soap as authentic as possible. “It’s a very different approach on my part kasi kagagaling ko lang sa pagluluto (Ysabella) na master na master ko, tapos pupunta ako sa isang aspeto na wala akong kaalam-alam, darling. Kaya ‘pag nagpapa-ER ako ngayon, para akong loka-loka kasi naka-observe talaga ako sa mga nurse. Nakakataba rin ng puso because ipinagkatiwala ng ABS sa akin ang isang papel na hindi mo pwedeng basta-basta gawin, kailangan mo talagang pag-aralan ng husto,” she enthusiastically shares with ABS-CBN.com.

Having professional doctors on the set ensures that they’re pretty much accurate on the medical aspects of the show, something which will also give the viewers some useful information as well as a good dose of drama. “In a way nae-educate din ako to the point na yung mga kasama ko tinatanong ako, ‘Nay Ploning, ano’ng sakit ‘pag ganito ang symptoms?’ Sasabihin ko, ‘Sandali hindi pa ako nurse, darating tayo d’yan.’ But seriously ang dami kong natutunan about everything—cancer, hepatitis, AIDS—na kung malaki lang ang memory ko malamang walking encyclopedia na ako ngayon,” she says with a laugh.

Through gi Habang May Buhay, people will also get to appreciate the various struggles of Filipino nurses who desperately want to earn their way to a better quality of life. “Nakakatense pero nakakaaliw na I was able to play their part. If that would be the way to show the Filipinos here in Manila and abroad kung gaano kahirap ang pinagdadadaan ng mga nurses dito at sa ibang bansa, bakit hindi? Para magkaroon sila ng mas mataas na respeto hindi lang sa mga doktor kundi pati sa nurses,” she stresses.

On a lighter note, Judy Ann confides that her working relationship with onscreen partner Derek Ramsay is better than ever. After their successful team-up in Ysabella, they continued to be good friends and occasionally sought each other’s advice during tough times. “Wala kasing issue sa ‘min ni Derek eh. Maganda lang kasi naging maayos yung friendship namin so yun siguro yung lumalabas na rapport namin onscreen. Na nakakatuwa kasi ‘di ka na madaling makakakuha ng ganong kapartner na magkakaron kayo ng instant rapport. Si Derek okay naman siya, magaling naman siya, ‘di naman siya mahirap katrabaho so I hope abangan ng mga tao ‘to kasi ibang-iba rin siya dito,” she grins.

Adding spice to their romance on Habang May Buhay is Will Devaughn’s character. The show’s production manager Ethel Espiritu confides that having a second love interest for Judy Ann—one who’s also tall, dark, and handsome like Derek—happens to be one of the significant threads of the story. For now, however, Judai feels blessed with all the dashing actors that have been cast as her leading men throughout her teleserye career. “Sabi ko nga kung totoong buhay lang ‘to napakahaba naman ng hair ko dahil mula’t sapul, mula Mara Clara pa lang, siguro yung buhok ko lumibot na ng buong mundo at nakabalik na sa akin ng ganon ganon na lang. Siguro ganon talaga, kailangan sa isang soap, perfect yung mga kapartner mo kasi kailangan ikaw yung maglalagay ng imperfections sa kanila,” she quips.
