ABS-CBN has come up with a new TV series called BUDOY. I can say that this is one of the brilliant teleseryes made by one of the largest networks here in the Philippines.
This is about the journey of BUDOY which is played by Gerald Anderson, one of the brightest young stars of his generation, has made a remarkable portrayal with his role of being a special child. The story is actually about a husband and wife, played by Zsa Zsa Padilla and Tirso Cruz III, who desperately want to have a child but unfortunately, after doing so many fertility procedures, none of them has worked. The husband (Dr. Anton Maniego) who married his secretary (Luisa) decided to consider an IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) as a last option even though the procedure might be so risky for the child. Maniego family who are known for a well-respected family of doctors contradicts the idea because no one had taken the risk to do an IVF ever in the country’s history.
As a result, the little boy that Luisa has given birth to has a moderate mental disability. The story goes on when her mother-in-law gave the custody of the child to a person in a far away province without her knowledge to be able to protect the family’s good reputation.
Janice de Belen (Elena) took the responsibility in raising Budoy and treats him as her own. She did everything to give this little boy a decent life and fought for the trials that a special child is going through as he grows older.

Gerald Anderson gives full justice to the role as well as his mother in the story which is played by Janice de Belen who just recently joined ABS-CBN coming from her long time home network which is the GMA7.
Every scene with Budoy is heart-warming and heart-pounding especially to a mom of a special child like mine. It really touches my heart in a deepest way that I found myself shedding tears.
This teleserye tackles about the journey of a mother and child, their struggles with the discriminating eyes of the public, their hopes, their dreams and how they managed to carry on with every step down the rough roads of a person with mental disability.
I hope this will serve as an eye-opener to the public who doesn’t have the heart to understand and to accept the special creation of God called the Special Children.
