by GLEN P. SIBONGA MULTI-AWARDED actress and producer Sylvia Sanchez admits that she grew fond and became closer to the " I'mPerfect " cast with Down Syndrome and treats them like her own family already. Sylvia can not forget the cast party after the final day of shooting of their movie where something truly beautiful unfolded.  While the final day of any film shoot is typically a joyful 'cast wrap' party, the cast, crew and families found themselves instead in an emotional farewell.   Sylvia, when asked for a message, started with a long, tearful, wordless bow. Not long after, the cast with Down Syndrome ran to her, overcome by love. They embraced her tightly, still no words spoken—their silence speaking volumes of the deep bond they shared with her and everyone during the course of the filming. From an instant connection that began as soon as production started, each day of filming became a family-like ritual, a warm get-together with food and conversations in...
