It's a stunning moment caught on film: Julie Anne San Jose singing her heart out while playing piano on a remote sandbar, the gloomy yet picturesque sky hovering above and on the horizon.

Myke Solomon, musical director of Limitless: A Musical Trilogy, described it as one of the biggest highlights of “Heal,” part two of the musical.

“'Yung ginawa namin na we did a song sa sandbar with a piano, 'yun na 'yung pinaka-intimate because it's Julie's voice and an old piano - very intimate but for me, it's the biggest song,” said Myke.

The task alone to bring the scene into fruition was daunting as recalled by Julie Anne.

“Eight to ten people had to carry the piano in the middle of the sandbar and we were mindful to not catch the high tide,” Julie Anne mentioned.

Fortunately, the team was able to pull off the scene “beautifully” according to Julie Anne, who never imagined performing her own written song “at a sandbar.”

That scene perhaps encapsulates “Heal” as a whole - bold, majestic, lively, and unpredictable.

“'Yung 'Breathe' [part one], talagang punong puno ng puso saka looking into one's self talaga. I had the chance to really reflect and breathe on my own. I had alone time,” Julie Anne told GMANetwork.com.

One of the places visited by Julie Anne and the Limitless team in the Visayas is the “Mystic Island” of Siquijor.

“'Yung sa part two ['Heal'] naman, who's up for some fun 'di ba? It's always fun 'pag magta-travel ka so nag-invite kami ng mga friends, si Rayver [Cruz] and si Jessica [Villarubin], and the whole team really enjoyed our stay sa Siquijor,” shared Julie Anne.

“So ano lang siguro, mas fun and mas full of thrill and mysteries itong second part kaya sana abangan n'yo.”

Myke wholeheartedly agreed, saying that 'Heal' is more “celebratory” compared to its predecessor.

“Well, sa part one, it was more from the heart. Organic siya and mas intimate. Dito ['Heal'] mas [may] energy, mas celebration, mas masaya, mas inclusive siya. Kasi para siyang music to enjoy with friends, so mas masaya,” revealed Myke.
