Clicked on a channel in the Philippines and immediately had to sit through 5 soap related commercials, precisely what I recall from my time there.

Not the skin-lightening kind, I hope? Those ads were... odd.
I spent the late-1990s in Manila, for me it was Jollibee ads, and an oddly recurrent anti-corruption PSA which, I think, made corruption look quite appealing, actually.
Skin lightening products are famous here for social status. It’s so fake.
