Inday Badiday
Lourdes Jimenez Carvajal (August 6, 1944 – September 26, 2003), popularly known as Inday Badiday, was a Filipino host and journalist who was known as Philippine television's "queen of showbiz talk shows" and "queen of intrigues". Biography. Referred to by many in the entertainment industry as "Ate Luds", Inday began her broadcasting career as a radio host who talked about show business. The moniker "Inday Badiday" was coined by her mother Lala. Her commentary and knowledge about the industry eventually brought her fame. She is also a columnist for different showbiz & movie magazines "Eyebugs: Bigay Hilig sa Balitang  Showbiz", "Modern Romances" and "Tsismis". One of her first shows was "Nothing but the Truth" and later "See-True" and "Eye to Eye", which served as Philippine television's template for showbiz talk shows. These shows were all produced by GMA News and Public Affairs and her production company, LoCa Productions (LoCa is the combination of the first two letters of her names, Lourdes Carvajal). She made her television comeback on GMA Network in 2002 with the show "Inday, Heart to Heart". Death. Inday Badiday died on September 26, 2003, from multiple organ failure due to two strokes, at St.  Luke's Medical Center, Quezon City. She was 59 years old. She had three children, and is the grandmother of "Juicy!" co-host IC Mendoza. On April 1, 2004, GMA Network's drama anthology "Magpakailanman" aired her life story. To pay respect, Angelu de Leon played the role (aside from this, the actual props from her former shows, such as "See True" and "Eye to Eye", were used).
