ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID "Star ng Pasko" analysis with Juday appearing "last"

Ever since I was a child, I enjoyed watching station ID’s from both ABS-CBN and GMA-7.  For me, station ID’s gague a star’s importance in the network. Usually, it is the biggest star who is shown last or together with Charo Santos-Concio, in the case of ABS-CBN. For the past years, Dolphy had been the mainstay in the latter part of the ID and there is no doubt that he is indeed among the biggest stars in ABS-CBN.  What is more intriguing is who among the younger set of stars would appear last in the music video.

And alas, Judy Ann Santos was the last star to appear solo in the music video.  Although it was KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual who were featured first singing the ID theme song, it was Juday who was given the honor of appearing last.  And please correct me if I’m wrong, but noticeably absent was Claudine Barretto. Or was she there? I also didn’t see Kris Aquino. I don’t know, but I had this impression of who appears last is the most significant since I was, uhm, six? Zaijian Jaranilla also appeared beside Charo which sends the impression that he is among the most prized money-makers.

Also, the station ID is the biggest clue on what will be the upcoming shows of a network. For instance, Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz appeared together, meaning they would do a series together. Angelica Panganiban  appeared solo, meaning she would do a solo starrer, which is the title role Rubi.
