PIOLO-JUDY ANN REUNION: The possibility of a reunion movie between former loveteam Piolo Pascual and Judy Ann Santos echoed during a Sun Life event at a Makati hotel the other day.
The idea was floated jokingly by ABS-CBN chief content officer Charo Santos Concio, herself a Sun Life endorser.
Charo expressed her wish to finally come up with a film that would reunite the two box office stars.
Caught by surprise on stage, Piolo and Judy Ann immediately agreed. Judy Ann said jokingly to Piolo: Kaya mo?
In an interview, Piolo said he owed a lot to Judy Ann, who was his first screen partner. ‘She helped me a lot in my career,’ he said.
Both actors said they’re willing to do that reunion film as long as certain conditions are met. These include scheduling and most important, the right material.
Charo recalled that the three of them acted together in TV soap Esperanza back in the 90s.
Star Cinema is considering several scripts to bring back the Piolo-Juday tandem.
