Years ago, I-Witness covered different life stories of
children from different places in our country. There was this 3 year old
Ekang from Pasay, Jimmy and Jonel Carde from Camarines Norte, and
Charles and Adrian from Abra. If there is something that they all have
in common, it is how they are born in this world where all they could
see is poverty. Ekang’s parents were victims of “kapit sa patalim”
because in Pasay, stuff like crimes, prostitution, and distribution of
illegal drugs are their idea of way of living. We cannot blame them
because in their point of view, it is the easiest way to make money and

The documentary is something beyond sympathetic and
empathetic. It reaches and touches viewer’s heart and point of view. I-
Witness’ documentaries has always been full of love, empathy, and
effort. They really go out of their ways just to give us a glimpse of
what it is like living on the other side of what we normally see. The
cinematography and directory of photography is on point and
contributes a lot to the emotion of the video. It is intelligently made
and corresponds to Karen Davila’s script was made intellectually and
there are lines that can surely leave a mark in our lives.
I am quite sure that majority of the people who watched the
video felt sorry and sympathy towards the children who were in the
documentary. Their key takeaways might be how they realized and
appreciate the things that they currently have, be grateful for whatever
is served in front of us, and things like that. Although it is valid to feel
those things after watching the video, I feel like it is more self-
centered rather than being sympathetic towards our fellow countrymen
