Judy Ann Santos gets emotional during Plato Para Kay Ploning...

John “Sweet” Lapus gives his all-out support to friend Judy Ann Santos!

Maybe this is one reason why John Lapus earned for himself the nickname, “Sweet.” Sure, he has his own explanation as to how the moniker came about; but seeing the TV host/comedian emceeing last week in Judy Ann Santos’ fundraising event Damit Para Kay Ploning confirms that John Lapus is also known as Sweet because, well, he’s a sweet friend.

The event held at Plaza Ibarra, Tomas Morato was to raise funds and lobby Judy Ann’s film Ploning into the Best Foreign Film category in the 2009 Academy Awards in Hollywood. Sweet, Judai, her best friend Beth Tamayo, and comedienne Candy Pangilinan, among others, took turns as auctioneer during Damit Para Kay Ploning. They hosted and entertained the bidders, who laughed at their impromptu spiels and gushed over the vast collection of items up for bid. Prior to the auction, Judai staged fundraising dinners at the home of Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez. It was well-attended and supported by the actress’ celebrity friends, including Sweet, who even shared some pictures of the get-together in one of his recent KText journals.

Despite the fact that Sweet is working outside of ABS-CBN, he still remains a Kapamilya as a contract artist of Star Magic and Kapamilya KText. He has said before during the height of his controversial network switch that he owes ABS-CBN too much to ever let go. In fact, it was in ABS-CBN where he met Judai through a common friend, Dante Nico Garcia, the director of Ploning. -Abs-Cbn.com-
