QUESTION
From the three, a similarity can be seen between the Glumatax and Belo
ads since they both promote the idea that having lighter skin is an advantage in
Filipino society. Both ads suggest that using their products can lead to social
privilege and acceptance by achieving lighter skin, which is portrayed as a
desirable and superior trait. This reinforces the harmful belief that people with
darker skin tones are inferior and perpetuates the prevalent issue of colorism in the
Philippines.
Do you really need to change to be accepted by others?
