ABSTRACT
This study addresses the representation of the working Filipino woman in the soap operas produced by ABS-CBN from 2000 to 2010. Using textual analysis, this study examines 17 soap operas having dramatic formats and looks at how they use language and narrative to construct particular images of the working Filipino woman.
My theoretical inquiry is how the woman, as an element of a text, undergoes the process of social construction in soap operas. Specifically, how is the working Filipino woman being represented in ABS-CBN soap operas that have been produced from 2000 to 2010? What are the represented professions/occupations of the Filipino woman?
