Jury Comments
This program is a documentary produced by Philippine producers who hope that the program will be of use in improving educational and economic gaps in the Philippines. As it dared to describe the difficult situation surrounding children, this program succeeded in encouraging viewers to recognize morality as human beings. Although the jury assumed that the program used simple direction and limited means, it is worthy of admiration that the producers tried to underline the absolute necessity of educating the next generation to secure its future.
