Jodi Sta Maria's New Love

As if taking a cue from her daytime kilig-serye “Be Careful with My Heart” character, Maya, who aspires to be a flight stewardess, Jodi Sta. Maria has just recently discovered her new love: Traveling. “As much as possible, kung kaya, gusto ko sana every 2 months nakakalabas ng country, or if not naman out of the country, sa loob ng bansa,” Jodi shares. She finds it more worthwhile to spend on travel than to shop for designer shoes and bags. She takes her son, Thirdy, along with her travels, too, so he will grow up culturally educated. “Traveling is a wonderful experience to know and learn more about other countries' culture,” she says.

For her travel essentials, she admits “'Di pwedeng 'di ko bitbit ang Gluta-C products because I use the lotion everyday. Pati ung soap and toner. Kahit tingnan 'nyo pa yung travel bag ko!” Her personal favorite is the Gluta-C Intense Whitening Lotion with SPF 25 because it feels light, provides sun protection and is easily absorbed by the skin.

Jodi has been the beautiful face and body of the whitening skincare line, Gluta-C, for years now. In her recent endorsement shoot for the brand, she excitedly raved about Gluta-C's latest products – the Gluta-C Underarm and Bikini Gel and Gluta-C Body Scrub, “I really use them. And I don't endorse products na 'di ko naman ginagamit.” No wonder, celebrity make-up artist Juan Sarte found it so easy to enhance Jodi's effortlessly-radiant look. It was a breeze, too, for sought-after hairstylist Brent Sales and celebrity photographer Raymund Isaac to bring to life the concepts.

There is no doubt that Jodi Sta Maria will reach new places and heights with the rate her career is soaring. It feels like a lifetime ago since Jodi first graced our TV screens during her Tabing Ilog days but it's as if she has not changed a bit – still looking so young and radiant. And the secret to this? Jodi shares, “Looking young is something that comes from within. So, if you have peace and you're happy, it will radiate.”

Bad Attitude

The new young actor (NY) has one of the most amiable faces among the latest talents of this big network. NY, a very positive individual, is an ideal person having prioritized education first over a career in showbusiness. However, unknown to most, behind his amiable face is a crass personality.

NY treats his assistants AS as though they are his “slaves.” His requests sound like orders, which make his AS feel as though they are very incompetent and stupid. For example, when one of his AS made a mistake in getting the black shoes NY wanted, he reprimanded the AS along with curse words. NY almost threw the wrong pair of shoes at the AS. The AS could not reason out that NY has several black shoes and did not specify the brand he wanted.

In another incident, NY was looking for his hair wax. He insisted that the wax was placed in one of his bags somewhere. When the AS said he could not find the wax, NY nonchalantly insisted that it was there and that AS did not look hard enough. He even added that AS should look with his eyes and not with his mouth. After fruitless searching, AS thought of opening NY's  bag beside him - and voila, the wax was there all along! Instead of apologizing, NY accused AS of placing the wax in the bag to embarrass him.

AS soon realized he could not take NY's bad treatment anymore and left. AS was very disgusted as NY have become a monster towards the little people in the industry.

To make matters worse, NY allegedly does not bother with the basic needs of his assistants, such as food for instance. At one point, when NY was fasting out of his religious obligations, he did not bother to feed his assistants and told them that since he was fasting, they should then fast as well.

Perhaps NY's management should step in and teach him to treat his support staff humanly. After all, the success of any actor also hinges on the quality of people who work for him. NY should take the cue from his relative, who, despite his huge status in the industry, is known to be very decent, supportive, and respectful of people, especially to his very own staff.
