uring the victory party and press conference recently for "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo," the top grosser of the 2007 Metro Manila Film Festival, its stars, real and reel life love team Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo told the entertainment press that they don't have yet any date for their wedding.

"We are not in a rush," shared Juday in Filipino. "We're still still enjoying."

Ryan added smiling, "Our relationship is still young. We don't even have an anniversary yet and we just recently discovered our relationship's theme song,"… our wedding date will come later. We'll save first."

According to them, they discovered their song accidentally. After a successful weekend run of "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo" during the MMFF last Christmas, they were listening to the radio and they heard Jason Miraz' version of "I Melt With You" (originally by Modern English). In that instance, they decided that that was their song.

So what's in store for this successful showbiz couple in 2008?

The two simply agreed that they're both raring to work hard again this year when they return from their vacation abroad. Both flew last week to grace the internatonal screening of "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo" held last Jan. 12 at the Alex Theater in California and at the Honolulu Theater in Hawaii last Jan. 13. Other international screenings would be held in Guam, Las Vegas , Seattle and San Diego in North America, and in Milan , Italy , Dubai and Abu Dhabi .

"What we would do during our vacation is to go to places we both haven't been to so we would both enjoy our vacation. Then when we come back, we would just work hard and won't complain about work even if it meant working till the wee hours the next morning. They gave us our vacation so we must also give them back what they deserve from us as actors," exclaimed Juday.

When asked if there was any truth that their successful films "Kasal, Kasalai, Kasalo" and "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo" would be turned into a sitcom, Ryan affirmed that there were indeed talks about such plans.

"There were talks… but ABS-CBN wants us to part ways for awhile in television like I go back to my hosting and she goes back to her acting; …it would be okay if it would become a sitcom someday," he said.

In the meantime, Judy Ann Santos is set to launch this 2008 her new single entitled "Ikaw Lang." This is another cut from her Star Records album "Judy Ann Santos: Musika Ng Buhay Ko" which was released last year.

This album represents the music in Juday's 20 years in show business. It's a collection of songs that are very close to the actress' heart. What makes it even more valuable is that the country's big named singers lent their talents to complete the said album. They are Sharon Cuneta, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Gary Valenciano, Yeng Constantino and Ella Mae Saison among others.

"I'm so glad that Star Records gave me the chance to show my musical side'… and I'm very happy for the worldwide support that I've gotten for this album. I'm not a professional singer but I really felt my fans' support and warm acceptance of this album and I'm very grateful to them," remarked Juday after her album sold very well worldwide through www.starrystarry.com.

So why "Ikaw Lang?"

"Because ‘Ikaw Lang' is a song that I can say has been a big part of my life. It's a song that has given me happiness and that has made my heart smile. It's a song that has taught me to love another person very much," explained Juday of her album's newest single.
