This argumentative paper focuses on the use of mistresses in Filipino movies. A lot of
mainstream movies were using this kind of theme and although many people were against it. But
since the big movie industry is using the concept desensitization, the society is little by little
accepting this theme. This paper focuses on the pros and cons of this theme in movies because of
The use of this theme can serve as an eye opener to the society. This claims that because
of the films having the themes of mistresses, it will serve as a mirror of the society to the people.
Knowing that it has a negative impact to the children and to the family as a whole, it will change
the concept of the people regarding this matter. It creates a consciousness to the people that they
should not engage in this form of relationship because it can destroy one’s family and will have a
longer effect on their children. Lastly, it will give moral lessons to those who were already
engaging in this kind of relationship that who will be really to be destroyed will be the mistress
not the man. These are the reasons why film industries use this kind of theme in their movies.
There are certain problem regarding the use of this theme on Filipino movies. Because it
changes the moral values of the society. There is an acceptance being promulgated in the society
regarding mistresses, that there is no wrong in loving. Which is another problem because it changes
the concept of love to the Filipinos, before love is a commitment being taught to the youth, now

love. Love in the society is not anymore in its purest essence. Lastly, the concept of monogamy is

films involving mistresses we can change partners. That is the problem, it changes the purest
fun.
With these, I therefore conclude that the use of mistress in Filipino Movies should
be demolished because it can change the popular culture, ethics, and moral values of the Filipino
society. Filipino movies should be a tool to change the mindset of the Filipinos on the concept of
monogamy and fidelity. This is the time to create movies that promotes strong family, brotherhood,
and the strong bond of Filipino families. Knowing that our pre-colonial society, protects and
nurtures the family we must not follow the standards of the western world.
