“Sounds like a threat.”
This was what some Filipinos thought after watching a portion of Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos‘ guesting in the pilot episode of Matteo Guidicelli‘s new talk show.
The celebrity couple was the first guest of “Matteo G Primetime,” an evening talk show on Bilyonaryo News Channel featuring casual conversations with celebrity guests.
Judy Ann and Ryan opened up about love, growth, partnership, business and staying grounded in their 16 years of marriage.
At some point, they were asked who among them gets jealous more easily.
Matteo followed up by asking if Judy Ann would allow Ryan to have another woman as a leading lady in a movie. The actress immediately answered in the affirmative.
Ryan, however, replied, “Subukan niya.”
This prompted Judy Ann to laugh, while Ryan repeated his answer, saying that it was his response “to all.”
“Ang lagi kong sagot sa kanya, ‘Gawin mo. Tsaka na natin pag-awayan,’” the “Eat Bulaga” co-host said.
He also told his wife he would make similar comments in other matters, such as “Yeah, go ahead,” but Judy Ann said he never said, “Subukan mo.”
Ryan then explained that his “subukan mo” comment was part of his “inner monologue.”
“Kasi kung sinabi mo namang, ‘subukan mo,’ eh hindi mo naman na gagawin!” Judy Ann said to him, seemingly referring to how she would respond if her husband made such a remark.
Ryan further explained, but Matteo asked him to clarify what he meant by “subukan mo,” asking if it meant “yes” or “no.”
“Meaning, let the woman decide. Pag-awayan niyo na lang after,” Ryan said.
He later clarified himself, saying, “These decisions, syempre, if it works for me, hindi na ako aangal o makikipag-away.”
“But [if it doesn’t work], she will consult me, and I will be, ‘Sige, gawin mo, saka na natin pag-awayan,’” Ryan added.
Part of the clip was posted on X (formerly Twitter) and in a Reddit community, where some users expressed concern over Ryan’s response, “subukan mo.”
“Kunwari hinahayaan niya si Juday mag-decide, pero, ang totoo, he’s guilt-tripping her. Kaloka! Ba’t need ‘saka na pag-awayan’? Why not trust your wife and give full support in her career!” an X user commented.
“Making her own decisions, basta ‘yung decision niya in favor sa gusto ng guy, but if the decision is not in favor, away agad… so ganito bala gaslighter in real life. Hahahaaha,” another reacted.
“It’s like gaslighting? Guilt tripping??” a different Pinoy asked.
“Ang tawag diyan… ‘Guilt tripping,’” an X user wrote with an eyeroll emoji.
“I watched that. Akala ko ako lang nakapansin. Lalo na ‘yung ‘gawin mo, tsaka na natin pag-awayan.’ So para walang away, si Juday na lang ang mag-a-adjust,” another commented.
“‘Subukan mo’ sounds like a threat, wtf,” a different Pinoy wrote.
“Bakit naman nagbabanta. So f****** weird,” another reacted.
Judy Ann and Ryan met on the set of the 2004 television series “Krystala” and eventually began dating.
They tied the knot in 2009 and are now parents to three children: Johanna “Yohan” Louise, Juan “Lucho” Luis and Juana “Luna” Luisa.
