The film "Small Voices" is a very emotional film. In a sense that it shows the current dillema of the Filipino people including even the ones who are living abroad to seek for comfort from other As for the weaknesses of the film, the story is not told in a straightforward manner, instead, parts of it(rarely) are scattered thoughts that are just joined together to make the part of the story.
For me, i can strongly relate myself to Popoy. For he has the qualities which I often show to my friends and to the ones older than me. In almost all the times of his appearrance, you can find him laughing and cheerfully playing with his friends and because of that, he manages a strong bond between them.
The moral that I have learned is to be thankful and satisfied with what you have. I have said this because I realized that some people find things that we take for granted as gifts from heaven. This applies to the persons in the story, particularly the children who fight over books in order for them to have something in their heads and in order for them to learn something. It also applies to the two brothers, Popoy and Obet who share the same uniform day-in and day-out. Considerning this, we are very lucky. So we need to thank our Heavenly Father for all the gifts that he has showered to us.

1. The strength of the film is that the teacher was hopeful to future of the children and she served as an inspiration to the people in Malawig. She showed that even kids can dream. The weaknesses of the film are that the role of the teachers to the students were bad and some teachers were not a good influence to the children. Mostly the children's parents weren't supportive to the children's future.

It is very important to respect others opinion because all of us have different point of view's.

G32- P Sardinia, Charisse
1.One srength of the film is that the lead character really pushed through to what she thinks is best for her students. She believes that a person, even if he/she is poor or rich, has the chance to dream and make those dreams come true.The weakness of the film is that some of the teachers are bad influences to their students. They do not carry out the responsibilities of being a teacher. They even tell other students that they can't do anything to achieve their goals in life, which is really bad because it would really lower the perseverance of the student to achieve them.
2. The character in the film that I can closely relate to is Melinda Santiago because as I observed in the film, she wants justice in everything. If she thinks that there is something wrong, then she would really do something to make it right. Just like me, when there is something or someone being quarelled and i think that that person is correct, I would really do everything to defend that person and make things right.
3. The moral that I learned from the film was that everyone has the right to dream and make goals in life. It should not hinder anyone to make them come true. And you should not listen to someone that is putting you down, so that you would succeed and be able to do anything you want. We are all people living in this big world, and so, we have the right to soar high in life...
1. The strengths of the film "Small Voices" are the determination of each character in the film. Especially Ms. Santiago, the main character of the film. However, during the film there were a few setbacks like the death of Popoy and his father. But even after all that has happened, they were still able to pull through...
2.Although I'm not sure but, I am sometimes like Ms. Santiago. Melinda is (as you know) patient and very determined to reach her goal. I try my best also to meet my expectations and give my all in approaching my desired goal.
3. The lesson that I have learned is that even though you start small, as long as you have the people you love with you, you will be successful. If, there will be trials then you must work together to pull through. Lastly, you must believe in yourself that you can do anything no matter who or what will try to stop you. Never give up!
G-31 P Santos,Mottie
1.)The strength of the film was when the parents of the children had their support in the contest. It was when all the parents allowed their children practice even though it would consume their time. The weakness of the story was the death of Popoy it was an event that wasn't expected. I considered it as a a weakness because it was a cause of discouragement for Melinda and also for the children.
2.)I could closely relate to the characteristics of Popoy. Like him, I really care about my family. I always pray that my family would be safe. Popoy and I really care about our family, and that is the charactersitic that we both have in common.
3.) The moral that I learned in the story is that never give up. Always remember that you have a big God and a small problem.Never forget to ask God for help, especially in times of trouble.

G7-P Barril,Marietta Becz
The strength of the film was the impact they showed when they had teamwork and dedication in order to win the contest.Their presentation was wonderful.
The weakness of the film was that it showed how parents were not supportive to their children in joining the contest but instead they focused more on the other things.
I relate myself to Obet,because he does not also agree to the work of his father.I myself don't agree to the work of my parents because they are so far away.
The moral lesson of the story that even though you are poor you shouldn't stop doing what you want and following your dreams.We should know how to stand up for ourselves and fight for what is right.
