The Faithful

The Philippines is known to be one of the only two countries in Asia that predominantly practices the Catholic faith.
However, what this translates to in Philippine society isn’t all that encouraging. While Filipinos follow the many trappings of what the Catholic Church espouses such as going to church regularly, praying the rosary and observing the many feast days of saints, do we understand what the religion is trying to teach its faithful? Or do we follow rituals and prayers aimlessly and routinely simply because we are inside a so-called “holy” structure?
This short experimental film is a personal exploration and critique of the artist's view of the religion she grew up in, and how she views her faith in contrast to someone who has vowed their lives in it.
