Trapo (2009)

Witnessed through the eyes of a child, the animated short "Trapo" is a social commentary depicting some harsh realities of present day Philippines. Residents of less fortunate areas are easily cast aside like dirty rags or "trapo", as victims of crooked political aspirants, also locally referred to as "trapo" (traditional politician). Most importantly, yet most taken for granted, is the moral impact the events have on the young child.
