An OPINION, though valid, is a statement which expresses a personal bias or a point of view and cannot be proven objectively. It is a statement of what an individual or group feels, thinks, or believes. Different opinions can be given on the same subject. Phrases such as it seems, it appears, it may, I believe, I think are often used to denote an opinion.
EXAMPLES:
1.‘Makulay ang buhay sa sinabawang gulay’ is the new Knorr Cubes commercial jingle.
2.Joselito Cabral is the husband of Gretchen Cabral.
