Award-winning actress Judy Ann Santos has achieved another milestone, this time in her culinary journey. Santos recently completed the Professional Culinary Arts Program at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies (CACS), graduating with honors.
In her graduation speech, Santos reminisced about her first time studying at CACS years ago and shared her decision to refine her skills further.
“Last time I graduated here at CACS was a long, long time ago, and then I decided to further my skills into cooking,” she recalled.
She described the culinary world as an endless and enriching experience.
“It is this school that made me believe na I could actually do so much more apart from acting. The world of culinary is endless. Wala siyang corners. It’s a beautiful journey,” Santos said.
At 46 years old, Santos expressed joy and pride in proving that age is no barrier to learning.
“You’re never too old to learn something new. So aral pa tayo some more. Yehey, graduate na ako at 46!”
Santos’ culinary journey began at the suggestion of her husband, Ryan Agoncillo, and was initially inspired by her desire to be a better role model for their daughter, Yohan, whom she adopted in 2004.
Judy Ann Santos continues to excel both as a celebrated actress and a passionate chef, and a businesswoman inspiring many with her dedication to personal growth and learning.
In addition to completing her culinary course, Santos has also ventured into entrepreneurship as the restaurateur behind Angrydobo.
