Judy Ann Santos chaperones son Lucho at international soccer tourney
It’s going to be all about son Lucho — at least for the next few days — for Judy Ann Santos, who recently flew with the 12-year-old for a soccer competition in Malaysia.
This marked the first overseas trip of the mother-and-son duo sans “EAT” mainstay Ryan Agoncillo and the couple’s daughters, college-bound Yohan and youngest Luna.
“First time to leave Manila without dada and the girls.. this time it’s just mommy and kuya [Lucho] and ate arlen .. missing a big chunk of our family here in KL.. mommy and kuya time muna (for now), while dada spends time with the girls. Missing you big time bub. [emojis] @ryan_agoncillo,” shared the award-winning actress, who uploaded multiple snaps with Lucho including a selfie during their plane ride on her Instagram.
