Sa Kambas ng Lipunan is about Joey Velasco, a human being trapped in a country called the Philippines. He is a sculptor and painter. It is about a society that transform and continues to transform human beings caught in its inevitable boundaries: family, relatives, social class, government, places of work, neighborhood, friends, drinking partners, finite resources in the hands of a few, hubris of power holders and the call of Christians to be meek, and other variables that we may call a life.
It is a 19-minutes video story of his painting. This story transects the gamut of society's social, political, religion, economic, ideological and theological debate that may be asking, where is society going?
In a group of 5-members (maximum) discuss the main content of Velasco's message. What do you think are the main points that you think you can relate with? Why?

You can write in a bulleted form and state you or your groups thinking about it.
