In the Philippines, a dirty child is often perceived as naughty & careless. And almost instantly, their parents, most especially their mother, are judged to be irresponsible and neglectful.

It’s no wonder moms can't stand dirt – even more so, when it's on their children’s clothes.

With the use of 10 hidden cameras, we sought out to capture genuine reactions of 5 caring mothers to their dirt-covered kids. The disappointment was something every mother could relate to. But their anger was short-lived as we soon revealed why their kids had become so dirty. The mothers swelled with tears and pride as their children's goodness overpowered the dirt.
