Abstract
Rodil, B. P. V. (2016). Sa Ngalan ng Ama, Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis, University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication.
A young boy comes to grips with what is right and what is wrong as he discovers something about the priest he looks up to. Cyril, a 12 year-old orphan, tries to find out what Father Gerardo’s motives are for his wrongdoings, only to get disillusioned once more. The film shows the issue of morality through two perspectives: the priest and the young child.
