Thank You For Sharing Your Stories...What's your favorite scene in A Special Symphony?

Kaye Chastine:  when Jayden said the ff:
"They're worth it." and "I need you more than you need me."
These words are VERY true....
 



Marianne Lemmuela Vergara:  the time when jayden's co-teacher heard zaky singing in the toilet cubicle. super funny yung scene.


Dee Arr Paglumotan:  when the kids sang for the first time =)


Cho Fernandez :  
I love the movie but my favorite scene is when he was about to board the plane in the airport talking to his manager in the Philippines and then Jayden's attention was caught by the singing of his song by the children! Its a very, very touching scene and a wonderful to end the movie!It symbolically showed that before Jayden will finally start his singing career in Manila, he already made a difference with the kids.Love it!:D





Reel to Real: They've seen it...now they're spreading the good vibes!

STORY GIST:  A   SPECIAL   SYMPHONY   does   not   only   tell   the   story   of   average   or   ordinary   children.   It   tells   the   story   of   extraordinary   children   with   CHRISTIAN   BAUTISTA   (Jayden)   finding   a   life   with   them...   Christian   portrays   the   role   of   a   Filipino  singer-­‐actor  named  Jayden  Valarao  whose  quest  for  fame  is  not  quite  successful  in  the  Philippines.  With  his  Aunt   Penelope,  he  decides  to  fly  to  his  mother  in  Jakarta,  Indonesia  whom  he  has  not  met  for  atleast  20  years.  Jayden   finds  himself  teaching  music  to  special  children.  He  faces  the  biggest  dilemma  in  his  life.  Teaching  special  children  is  not   in  his  dream  list  to  become  a    star,  yet  he  finds    a  hint  of  his  purpose  in  life.  He  made  it  possible  for  the  special  children  to   perform  not  only  on  class  room  but  on  stage  with  his  own  dreams  in  trance...
