II: Watch the YouTube video of Denise Laurel in her shampoo TV commercial
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xYsvcKfq8E) or read the transcript below, then answer the
following questions.

“It's a shame that there is still that double standard. Sayang daw ako, because I'm a single
mother. If a guy gets a girl pregnant, he's a stud, right? But if a girl gets pregnant, malandi siya.
When the news spread of my pregnancy people were like “Sayang! She was at the top of her
game”. People immediately would make up stories about me or assume that I'm malandi or a
woman of the world. Was I unfairly judged? Yes. But then, did it stop me? No. Did it make me
stronger? Yes. And will it keep me going? Yes. Labels are a challenge. To me, it was a challenge
accepted. I wanted to show people that no matter what happens to you, it should never stop you
from being successful. In the end, I got to do whatever I wanted to do. And as an actress, I've
never been happier. Being a single mom, it's really empowering because there's more purpose
and nothing's greater than a mother's love. Sayang? I don't think so! Can you whip it? Because I
did.”

1. What did the people label the actress in the video?

2. Do you agree with what the other people said about the actress? If don’t, then why?

3. Do you know someone who had experienced the same situation as the actress? How did you
react?

4. Do you agree that the people’s opinion against the actress is biased or prejudiced? In what
way?

5. How can you say that a certain opinion is bias or prejudice? Explain it with an example.
