Minsan Lang Sila Bata


Child labor becomes one of the issues that is present in our country. Some children, don't have the chance to take education that's why they opt to find a job to make a living and help their families because of poverty. In this film, it highlighted how these children in labor strives hard in their work just to collect an amount of money just to give to their parents. This kids also really understands their situation.

The documentary film features the lives of random children from the different parts of the Philippines who force to work to help in sustaining the needs of their families.

The story of their lives as a child laborer made me to realize that I am so blessed by what I have now because I can easily meet the things of what I want and need. Unlike them, they can hardly meet the things they wanted to get.

Temporal order was applied in the documentary film where random lives of the kids presented in the film that shows an interrupted sequence.

The film runs for more than one hour but less than two hours, which is considered in temporal duration. Also, the temporal frequency of the film is that the focus on the poor faces of the child laborers.

I was amazed how these kids really love to go to school, but because of poverty they were not able to be educated. The most scene which inspired me most is that, when some of those children have a bright dreams of their own, especially to the child who wanted to become an attorney when he grows up.

I also think that the parents of these children had never seen better options for the life of their children that's why they resorted into child labor. I hope the parents of these kids will somehow do their best in order to help the lives of their children be better.

Also, the government must have to continue in building projects for the child laborers of this country and must do their best to eradicate this issue.
