synopsis
Experimental animation uses the letters of the alphabet in an associative sequence of 26 images. Every letter represents a different topic, the crucial ones being those related to socio-political issues. Apart from a demonic “e”, referring to “evil”, the most interesting letter is “q”, posing a question why the Philippines remains poor when it abounds in natural resources.
