A new movie is set to be released this coming September 30, 2015 in theaters nationwide. The movie is titled Etiquette for Mistresses, with actresses Kris Aquino, Claudine Barretto, Kim Chie, Iza Calzado, and comedienne Cheena as the leading stars in the upcoming film. The story revolves on how five successful women share the same secret only they know themselves - they all have an affair with a married man. The trailer for the movie is out, and while the movie is yet to be officially released, there is already a mixed handful of opinions and thoughts from fans about the said movie. And one of them isn't too happy about it.
Anna Katrina Esteves Pascual, a Facebook user, recently shared a post on social media with outspoken words of her own in regards to the movie. She points out that she is entirely disappointed that another movie is similar to the previous movies released. She mentions previous movies with the same or even similar stories like "No Other Woman", "The Mistress", "Two Wives", and "The Love Affair" - all having one thing in common; the movie is about a mistress. This certainly caught up on Anna's bad side and she decided to share a few minced words of her own. She questions writers if these kinds of story lines are the only things they can produce. She even added that glorifying a mistress in the upcoming movie is just a plain bad of an idea. "You’re one of the biggest television networks in the Philippines. Women and children are idolizing your actors and actresses. Didn’t you know that you have a moral obligation to your viewers to promote what is good? Yes its true that they, the Mistresses exist, Yes its true that its a big of an issue specially to Filipino families, for sure it has always been an issue, but do we really have to see this on screen again and again?" as she mentions in her post.

She points out that the portrayal of cheating and love affairs is certainly having an influence on everyone, especially children wherein it seems like they are promoting such vile acts on the big screen. She reckons that some viewers are fed up with the same subject and the same story line being shown over and over again, and she adds that it really doesn't show or do any good for viewers at all. She mentions that focusing more on love, God, or about Philippine history is more of a good story rather than the reoccurring plot about a mistress. She also adds that there are also a lot of ways to make an inspiring movie about good conduct, not about affairs and cheating. Anna said that actors and actresses have a huge influence on media and people on what they display on the big screen, as she claims that artists should be role models for the young and old alike. "Imagine if they star on a moral and inspiring movie, not only will that movie be a block buster but you’re also helping in molding today’s children to be better Filipino citizens or even save families from tearing apart. Just saying." as she ended her post.

Coming soon in theaters, the movie has already garnered mixed reviews and opinions, and certainly Anna isn't too keen about the new movie. Some netizens commented and agreed with her post, while some disagreed. The post has reached a thousand likes and shares. And we'll leave the rest up to you and you be the judge yourself.
