Supporting roles will beplayed by Ronan Ferrer, Thea Perez, Eugene de los Santos, Noel Azcona, Jun Francis Jaranilla, Raymond Roldan, Jade Riccio, and Micah Galang. The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Prof. Jae-Joon Lee will provide the orchestral accompaniment, while the internationally awarded UST Singers will render the choral support.
