Juday back in a soap

MANILA, Philippines - Right in time for the 60 years of Soap Opera celebration of ABS-CBN, Judy Ann Santos makes a huge comeback with Habang May Buhay.

Judy Ann plays Jane Alcantara, a caring and loving friend and daughter. Jane has dreamed of becoming a nurse just like her mother Rose (Gina Alajar) since she was a child. But her world will fall apart when her mother and close friends, Sam (Derek Ramsay) and Nathan (Joem Bascon), face a drastic tragedy. Jane lives in misery and suffering. She vows to rise from her situation and seek justice that was never given to them.

As time passes, Jane will fulfill her dream of being a nurse. She will meet David, heir of the hospital where she works and the man she falls in love with. And Raon, her friend and rescuer.

What connection do the two have with Jane’s past? Will love rule over the search for truth and healing?

The teleserye also stars Rio Locsin, Tetchie Agbayani, Gladys Reyes, Will Devaughn, John Arcilla with the special participation of Sid Lucero. It is directed by Wenn Daramas and premieres Feb. 1 on ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida.
