Julie Anne San Jose’s musical trilogy continues in the Visayas
AFTER the trip to Mindanao and performing with talents from the big island down south for the first part of her musical trilogy, singer and actress Julie Anne San Jose travels to the Visayas in Limitless Part 2: Heal.
The second installment of the online musical special, which follows Limitless Part 1: Breathe, will premiere on Nov. 20 on GMA Synergy.
“It’s one of the things that I am really proud of because other than being able to sing my songs, we also appreciate sites around the Philippines.” Ms. San Jose said in an online press conference on Nov. 10.
“I am also happy that I get to travel because traveling is also something that I love.”
In Limitless Part 2: Heal, Ms. San Jose visits beaches around the Visayas and interacts with the local communities. Ms. San Jose, a host or “Clash Master” on The Clash, a reality talent competition show broadcast by GMA Network, will be performing alongside Clash Master and good friend Rayver Cruz, and The Clash Season 3 Grand Champion Jessica Villarubin.
“We listed possible featured artists and we all agreed to include Ravyer since he is one of my close friends at work. It’s much better if you have a friend to accompany you on travels,” she said.
“I also got to immerse myself with the locals of Siquijor,” she said. “It’s an amazing feeling to experience things for the first time.”
One of the highlights in Heal is a segment where Ms. San Jose plays an original composition on a remote sandbar.
“Eight to 10 people had to carry the piano in the middle of the sandbar and we were mindful to not catch the high tide,” she said in English and Filipino. Despite the rainy shooting schedule, “It all turned out beautifully,” she said.
“I never imagined performing my own composition at a sandbar,” she added.
Ms. San Jose said that this episode is more fun and energetic compared to the first installment which was more emotional.
“We want to create relatable content. As an artist, I want to keep myself relatable to other people and somehow contribute to their everyday lives in my own music. It’s a good feeling to just share your music and craft. It’s fulfilling,” Ms. San Jose said.
Limitless, A Musical Trilogy is directed by Paolo Valenciano, with musical direction of Myke Salomon.
