[edit] Specials
In addition to the regular Bituing Walang Ningning episodes, two specials were aired in connection with this series.
Bituing Walang Ningning: Special Screening. A concert was presented at the Music Museum to introduce the cast, characters, and plot of the drama series. The concert featured songs from the official Bituing Walang Ningning soundtrack, and musical performances by cast members, particularly Sarah Geronimo, Angelika dela Cruz, Zsa Zsa Padilla, and Ai-Ai de las Alas. The concert was later aired on TV as a special episode of the ABS-CBN TV series Your Song on May 14, 2006 -- one day before the drama series began airing.
Himig ng Pasasalamat. A concert entitled Himig ng Pasasalamat (roughly translates to "Song of Thanksgiving") was presented at the Araneta Coliseum on September 19, 2006 -- a few weeks before the series was scheduled to end. Taping of the climactic Grand Showdown scenes between Dorina and Lavinia also took place at the same venue just prior to the concert. The thanksgiving concert itself was aired as a TV special on October 15, 2006.
