Filipinos are fond of watching blockbuster movies and TV shows, or teleserye, late at night. But what's surprising is that movie or TV show producers encircle their plots about mistresses, which is not a good idea. Three years ago, a movie entitled, "The Mistress" was produced, staring John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo. The story stated that JD (John Lloyd Cruz) found out that Sari (Bea Alonzo) was his father's mistress. But eventually, while spending time with her, he fell in love with her. With no intentions, mistresses-themed movies can actually encourage men to have a mistress. Men who watch this kind of movie might think that having a mistress is now a norm in our society. Meanwhile last year, a telenovela was released by ABS-CBN called, "Two Wives." The plot practically goes around two women fighting and literally strangling to win over a man. Now, with these kinds of plots, do people actually expect to have complete and happy families in the society? Recently, Star Cinema also released a movie entitled, "Etiquette for Mistresses." Based on its title, it shows the proper way of being a mistress when in reality, it was never, and it will never be, proper to become a mistress because, who wants to be a mistress, anyway? Media has been creating movies and TV shows that would lead to an unwholesome family life that's why they should stop producing these kinds of movies. It's becoming frightening that mistresses, who were once thought as negatives, are now cliches on-screen.
