  • Jodi Sta. Maria

    Jodi Sta. Maria has a lot to be happy about these days. Her hit teleserye "Be Careful with My Heart", which will end its two-year run on national television this month, has been touted as one of themost successful daytime soaps in recent history -- a feat by current standards. Her son Thirdy is growing up to be a fine, young boy. Lastly, she seems to have finally found peace and joy in her newfound faith.

    Find out what we mean by viewing the photos taken behind the scenes of our November shoot.
