Juday rescues friend from Malate bar assault


Judy Ann went to O Bar at Malate to rescue a production designer friend who was assaulted by one of the bar's staff.

It was three a.m., Saturday, when Juday came to O Bar with Derek Ramsey, her co-star in the soap "Ysabella" to help production designer Dante Nico Garcia.

Director Andoy Ranay who was with Garcia said that a man went back to Dante and smashed the bottle on his head. They managed to stop the attack and took Dante outside.

When Juday came, one of the bar's manager was arrogant and insulted the actress and told her that he [the bar manager] thought they [Garcia and Ranay] were going to call the press but its only Juday who arrived, he also added that he's not star-struck by Juday's presence.

According to O Bar management, it was Garcia's fault. When he get drunk, he started groping this male ledge dancer, who apparently was also the man who smashed a bottle to Garcia.

Garcia however neither confirmed nor denied the alleged groping. He also denied reports that Judy Ann "created a scene" at the bar when she came to his rescue.

Nico Garcia added that he plans to file suit against the O Bar’s owners.

Yesterday, an official statement from Rupert Acuña,who was identified as O Bar’s owner was read over The Buzz show.

This is the copy of the statement read by Boy Abunda and Ruffa Gutierrez:

"We at O Bar are quite surprised that this incident has been brought to national attention through your show. We are a fun bar and cater to professionals."

"We discourage indecent acts whether from our ledge dancers or from our clients. According to witnesses, the ledge dancer gave mr. Garcia several warnings to stop harrassing him, but he didn't stop."

"We do not condone the actions of the dancer and have indefinitely suspended him, however, we expect our clients to act responsibly and know how to handle their liquor."

"When the incident occured we called the police. This is part of our standard procedure. Mr. Garcia was too intoxicated to give a straight statement to [the police]."

"We were surprised when Ms. Judy Ann Santos arrived with Mr. Derek Ramsay. We found out she is a friend of Mr. Garcia."

"In fairness to Judy Ann, she remained calm and listened to our side. We respect and admire her for her fairness to us and the loyalty she gave to a friend."

"Pinakita niya kung ano ang tunay na kaibigan at isang taong maganda ang kalooban." (She displayed what a true friend is like and showed she’s a person with a good heart.)

"We apologize to her for any inconvenience. We are all adults and are responsible for our actions. It's sad Mr. Garcia was not responsible enough."

A silent war was still on with Judy Ann Santos and Director Joyce Bernal after the movie “Don’t Give Up on Us” of Star Cinema.

Juday and Piolo were the main cast of this said movie and that time, Juday and Ryan Agoncillo are starting their relationship.

It was said that Juday requested Star Cinema to cut the kissing scenes in their movie and ask not to tell about this to the Piolo-Juday fans. This was to protect her growing relationship with Ryan.

Until now, Juday and Director Joyce are still having their silent war, Ryan on the other hand doesn’t want to butt-in to the issue. According to him, he’s not part of the issue and he doesn’t want to hurt anybody’s feeling with what he’s to say. He’s letting them manage their own disagreement.
