Aside from being at the top of her league as a dramatic actress and even being tagged as the Philippines’ Queen of Teleserye, Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo has always been known as a kitchen goddess. Her journey in the culinary scene has been a story of growth, from simple home cooking skills to becoming a well-schooled chef.
Earlier this year, she had the opportunity to meet world-renowned celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who tasted her special halo-halo with black sesame polvoron and complimented her on it. Judy Ann shared her recipe during the launch of her Kyowa ambassadorship on October 24 at Seda Vertis North.

Here’s her cream cheese leche flan:
When the multi-awarded actress steps into the kitchen, she goes beyond cooking and starts creating moments. Whether she’s preparing breakfast before school, whipping up snacks for her kids, or hosting family dinners on weekends, every meal is an act of love. For someone who pours her heart into every dish, trust in the tools she uses is just as important as the ingredients themselves.
Now, Judy Ann has found a partner that shares her passion for home, family, and good food in Kyowa, the well-loved and trusted Filipino brand known for reliable, high-quality kitchen and home appliances.
Shared love
For more than 38 years, Kyowa has been part of countless Filipino homes, known for appliances that combine function, durability, and affordability. From its iconic rice cooker, which is seen in many kitchens, to the innovative airfryer, electric kettle, gas stove, and electric oven, Kyowa has quietly become the brand families rely on.
“I’ve always believed that the kitchen is the heart of every home,” Judy Ann shared. “It’s where families gather, share stories, and bond over food. When I look for kitchen appliances, I look for ones that make life not only easier but more importantly, ones that I can rely on.”
That sense of reliability, Judy Ann said, is exactly what she found in Kyowa. She shared, “It’s not just about having a product that works well, it’s knowing that every time I turn on the stove or use the rice cooker, it will do what I need it to do. Tiwala ako sa may K.”
Simpler but better
Known for her culinary creativity both at home and as a restaurateur, Judy Ann has tried and tested her fair share of appliances. What made Kyowa stand out for her is the brand’s thoughtful balance between practicality and performance.
“When I use the Kyowa Airfryer, I can easily make snacks my kids love without the guilt of deep frying,” she says with a laugh. “Or when I prepare my Black Polvoron Halo-Halo, the Kyowa Ice Shaver helps me achieve that perfect, fine ice texture. These small details matter when you love being in the kitchen.”
For Judy Ann, Kyowa is synonymous with reliability, a brand that has seamlessly grown with Filipino families through the years. From classic kitchens to contemporary homes, Kyowa continues to evolve alongside the modern homemaker, offering practical innovations that make everyday living simpler, smarter, and more fulfilling. Kyowa’s new campaign slogan, “Tiwala ako sa may K,” serves as a reflection of what the brand has stood for through the years: trust, dependability, and everyday excellence.
These three words perfectly embody Judy Ann, a woman whose life, career, and values mirror the same ideals. With her decades in the industry, she has earned admiration not just for her success, but for her sincerity and dedication, both as a professional actress, a businesswoman, and a homemaker.
“Having Judy Ann join the Kyowa family is something we’re truly proud of,” says Eugene Go, Chief Operating Officer of Kyowa. “She reflects everything that Kyowa stands for: hard work, warmth, and reliability. With her stellar achievements, she is someone Filipinos look up to and yet she remains grounded. That’s exactly the kind of trust we aim to build with every product we make.”
With Judy Ann at the forefront, Kyowa aims to continue empowering Filipino families to cook, create, and connect without the stress or worry. The brand’s wide range of products are designed to make home life easier and more fulfilling.
