3. The movie was all about the painting painted by Joey Velasco. The painting showed children in the society who are graving for the basic needs of life as well as love and care.
In the painting the children are with Jesus Christ in a dining room. They seek for the grace and bless of God.
When I saw the painting it made me realized that children who need help should be given a chance to receive the gracefulness and blessings of God.
In relation to education the painting entitled as "Hapag ng Pag-asa" symbolized that children should be given a chance to have an education and the best teacher of all was Jesus Christ.
