What is your most
favorite place or spot
in your city, province
or locality?
Learning Task 1: Pretend to be an endorser.
In three to five sentences, how would you
promote or endorsed the roasted chicken
product below. Highlight the key words
that you will use to persuade your target
audience. Write your answers in your
notebook.
Biases are judgments
based on personal point of
view, while propaganda
refers to the spreading of
information, ideas, or
rumor that is meant to
make people accept them.
The ideas may be false or
misleading. Biases and
propaganda are both used
to influence people to
persuade, believe, buy or
do something.
There are varied
propaganda devices
that can influence
you to make
judgment. These are
commonly used in
advertisements,
texts, passages
and/or messages
that you have
watched, read or
heard.
A. Bandwagon. You are attracted
to use a product or join an
activity because “everyone” is
doing it.
Example: “Join an educational trip
to Art in the City. Buy two (2) tickets
and get one (1) for free. Join
thousands of learners who have
appreciated the beauty of arts in
their lives for several times. So,
what are you waiting for? It is worth
the experience!”
B. Plain Folks. You are
encouraged to use a product
because it is what “folks at
home” are using. This uses
ordinary people as endorsers to
show that the product is being
used by usual persons.
 
Example: “This electric fan is
assembled for you to feel the
ambiance of nature. Feel the
breeze of natural air within the
corners of your home.”
“Use Soapguard. It can
keep you germ-free for the next
24 hours
 C. Testimonial. You are convinced
to use a product because it
is endorsed or confirmed by a well-
known personality.

Example: “Kimi Jones, a well-known


basketball player, says that Abibas is the
best sporting shoes he has ever used.”
“Juan dela Cruz, a famous
stage actor, says Kopimo will always
keep you awake while at work.”
 
This propaganda device utilizes famous
or influential people to testify about the
beauty of a certain product to win the
interest of customers.
D. Name Calling. It is a device that
persuades you to avail the product or
service because of the negative image
it creates against another product or
service.
 
Example: “Taste our original chicken
inasal. Unlike other roasted chickens
which use chemicals in preparing their
products, our chickens are roasted
using our secret and natural spices and
ingredients.”
E. Glittering Generality.
You give in because you are overwhelmed by
vague, sweeping statements that usually come in
slogans or simple catch phrases.
 
Example: “Air Philippines, the spirit of the Filipino,
is the greatest airline ever in this century. It is
powered by latest technology offering exquisite
comfort and satisfaction for frequent and regular
flyers.”
F. Technical Jargon. It uses unfamiliar or highly
technical terms to impress, confuse or deceive
consumers or audience. It does not really
explain how it is connected with what is being
promoted.
 
Example: “Soyamar with lacto-bacilli shirota
strain is good for your tummy.”
G. Appeal to Fear. It
scares or frightens
consumers so that they
will either patronize or
avoid the product or
service.
 
Example: “Cigarette
smoking is dangerous
to your health. It may
result to cancer and
other respiratory
illnesses.”
H. Powerful a Words. It
uses either pleasant or
hideous sounds to either
lure or drive people away
from something.

Example: Shampoo
commercials saying “soft,
silky, shiny hair” to
convince the audience to
patronize the products
Remember:
 
Propaganda is not
only used in print or
broadcast media but
also in any
professional
engagement with the
purpose of
convincing the
audience to believe in
their views, like
political rally and
direct selling of
products.
