Obsessing over Skin Color

One of the biggest discoveries of the network are two young actresses who started as unknown talents in a teleserye who ended up as household names. However, instead of putting them together in a project, the network has set them off separately.

Insecure discovery (ID) prides herself for her naturally-brown skin or her being a morena. Fans accepted the way she looks that matches her current partner's in a loveteam that always gets the loudest of screams. However, people who know her sense a bit of insecurity on her part whenever she is compared with her fellow young actress (YA).

While YA has been given a variety of roles, ID is now tied to her loveteam and goody, nice girl roles. Nonetheless, both have delivered quite well for their network, so their rivalry has not been played up.

Why is ID insecure anyway? Well, unlike ID, YA has a naturally-fair skin, which ID envies. It sounds shallow, but we are a nation obsessed with "white" skin. Thus, ID opted to use various whitening products to the point that she has developed a bit of addiction to them. ID will not go out of her dressing room unless she had used these whitening stuff. Those who are privy to it joked that the only thing she hasn't done is gulping those products.
