Abstract/Summary

News about children being abandoned by parents do not necessarily stir a shock in our conscience. It's apparent prevalence renders our emotions dulled if not apathetic. This dominance, however, is about to be challenged as the film, Sa Kanyang Dapit-Hapon, touches on the other side of abandonment-- this time that of parent abandonment by their own sons and daughters, the very people whom they have showered all their love and care until, of course, they are found worthless at their aging moments.

The proponents would like to raise the awareness of the public regarding this issue. This is a serious problem. Primarily caused by poverty, this is often not known, if not ignored by many. Cases of the abandonment of the elderly have been increasing in the past years that the Senate and House of Representatives have drafted bills, which aim to protect the elderly from abandonment and neglect in the streets, but these bills had not been passed as laws. The proponents deemed it important to raise the awareness of people who could help alleviate this problem.
