When multi-awarded actress Judy Ann Santos steps into the kitchen, she isn’t just preparing food—she’s creating memories. Whether she’s whipping up quick snacks for her kids, cooking breakfast before school, or hosting a full weekend feast, every dish is an expression of love. And because she pours her heart into these moments, the tools she uses must be just as dependable as the ingredients she chooses.
Today, Judy Ann has found a partner that shares her passion for family, home, and good food: Kyowa, the well-loved Filipino brand known for its reliable, high-quality kitchen and home appliances. She now joins the Kyowa family as its newest brand ambassador.

The Heart of the Home
For more than 38 years, Kyowa has been a steady, comforting presence in Filipino households. The brand is trusted for delivering appliances that blend affordability, durability, and practicality—qualities that have made products like the iconic Kyowa rice cooker, gas stove, electric kettle, electric oven, and pioneering airfryer household staples.
For Judy Ann, that legacy matters. “I’ve always believed that the kitchen is the heart of every home,” she says. It’s the place where families gather, share stories, and connect over food—so every appliance must make life easier, not more complicated.

This sense of reliability is what convinced her to choose Kyowa. “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 exactly what I need it to do. Tiwala ako sa may K,” she shares.
Trust, Dependability, and Everyday Excellence
Judy Ann is admired not only as an actress and restaurateur, but also as a passionate home cook. She explains that Kyowa stood out to her because it strikes the perfect balance between performance and practicality.

As a mother, she appreciates family-friendly innovations like the Kyowa Airfryer, which lets her prepare her children’s favorite snacks “without the guilt of deep frying.” When she takes on more intricate recipes—such as her Black Polvoron Halo-Halo—the Kyowa Ice Shaver gives her that smooth, fine ice texture essential to the dessert. These details matter, especially to someone who genuinely enjoys time in the kitchen.

Kyowa’s new campaign line, “Tiwala ako sa may K,” captures the brand’s decades-long commitment to trust, consistency, and everyday excellence—values Judy Ann has embodied throughout her celebrated career. Despite her long list of achievements, she remains grounded, making her a figure Filipinos naturally look up to.
“Having Judy Ann join the Kyowa family is something we’re truly proud of,” says Eugene Go, Chief Operating Officer of Kyowa. He shares that Judy Ann reflects the brand’s core values: reliability, warmth, and hard work. Her authenticity is exactly the kind of trust Kyowa aims to build with every product it creates.
