INTRODUCTION
Social Media is changing the world, and we are all here witnessing it
(Somerhalder, 2013). Social media is an internet-based form of communication.
Social media is typically used for social interaction and access to news and
information, and decision making. It is a valuable communication tool with others
locally and worldwide, as well as to share, creates, and spread information.
Social media is a group of Internet-based applications that build on the
ideological and technological foundations of Web2.0, and that allow the creation
and exchange of user-generated content (Kaplan and Haelain, 2010)
To the students of the San Juan De Dios Educational Foundation Inc.-College,
as the voting for the new President is nearly approaching, much Information,
credentials are leaked out especially in Social Media. In students, Social Media is
a platform that we used to gather Informations and also the latest happenings
around the world; we have seen different news with the help of Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. This study addresses on how does Social
Media platforms affects the HUMSS students in San Juan De Dios Educational
Foundation Inc.-College in choosing a worthy Presidential aspirant. First, it brings
the impacts of social media platforms affecting the decisions of the students in
choosing their president.

Second, it will compile Informations about the different opinions of the students
on how are they affected. Finally, it brings this information to a wider researcher
to assist them in their own researches.
Review of Literature
Variable 1: What is the Role of Social Media in Presidential Election Cycles?
(Guse, 2019)
Although the public uses social media to share their ideas and opinions,
the person who creates the material is rarely the person whose name is on the
profile itself (Guse, 2019). Each platform offers the public various means of
expression to produce original content, such as Twitter, Facebook, and
Instagram. In this research paper, it will discuss the great success of influencing
the students of San Juan De Dios Educational Foundation Inc.-College.
Furthermore, it will show how voter impressions are hampered by observing
fellow voters and presidential aspirants engage in internet political activities.
Variable 2: The impacts of social media on university students in Iraq (Aljuboori,
2020)
The rapid growth of social media has created a unique reality in the day-
to-day lifestyles of society more generally. These social media platforms have
expanded into a vast expanse of socialization, data sources, interaction, etc
(Aljuboori, 2020). The relevance of this study is that it tackles the issue mainly
with the students and illustrates what the impact is on them.

Also, it covers students' most commonly used social media platforms, which
affects their ability to choose a better presidential aspirant.
Variable 3: Factors Affecting Youth Voting Preferences in the Philippine
Senatorial Election: A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Analysis (Kurniawan,
2021)
The growing power of the media has altered the possibilities for aspirants
to engage with voters. It has also been discovered that articles and other relevant
content about certain candidates on social media had a substantial influence on
voters when analyzing the personal qualities of the candidates (Biswas et al.,
2014). The significance of this study is that it provides an analysis of the factors
influencing youth voting preferences and will enable HUMMS students at San
Juan De Dios Educational Foundation Inc.-College to evaluate candidate
qualities and backgrounds in order to determine which is more deserving than
the other.
Theoretical/Conceptual Framework
Today, the Philippines are the world's most "social nation." With 41
million active Facebook users between the ages of 18 and 65, netizens have the
potential to tip the scales in this election, which many are dubbing the country's
first "social media" election.
For millennials, social media is a vital source of information (or misinformation).
Social media may give free advertising, highlight vital advocacy work, make
speeches and declarations easily accessible, and assist candidates in broadly
and freely promoting their campaign messages. In that sense, it has the potential
to democratize the election process. Except that this isn't always the case.
For better or worse, social media can also create an obsessive focus on one or
two issues, magnify candidates' warts and pores, poke fun at their looks or
voices, amplify a misstep, an insensitive remark, expose a prejudice or bias – all
in real time without delay for the entire world to see and hear. Elections in the
Philippines will never be the same again after May 2016. As the campaigns have
demonstrated, social media can toss decorum out the window, separate families,
unfriend friends, block would-be friends, and unleash frenzied supporters that
make The Walking Dead look like a Halloween spectacle (and one that no doubt
voters in the U.S. can well relate). In this election, it has become clear that social
media has rendered traditional campaign techniques ineffective, polarizing
people who have placed their hopes and ambitions in politicians who do not
exactly personify and embody a nation's ideals, morality, and ethics. To separate
the wheat from the chaff, responsible media and individuals must do thorough
fact-checking. (Buenaobra, 2017)
Given the rising use of social media by Filipinos and the physical limits imposed
by the Covid-19 pandemic, candidates' reliance on social media is projected to
rise. While it is still improbable that a candidate can win the president only
through a good social media campaign, there is a growing recognition that this
type of technology is becoming an essential component of the modern election
"political machine."
Experts claim that social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and others
were never intended to be used for political objectives. However, as information
technology has advanced, many people have recognized its potential for political
mobilization. Profiteering from how users share their information, including their
political views, opinions, and policy viewpoints, large social media businesses
have taken advantage. It is now widely accepted that disinformation has spread
due to its ability to elicit emotional reactions and hence obtain more interaction
from social media users. The nature of electoral campaigning appears to be well-
suited to social media algorithms incorporated into the technology itself. In other
words, social media and electoral campaigns appear to be a great match; one
serves the financial motive of technology corporations, while the other serves the
desire of politicians and parties to gather votes. (Arugay, 2022)
Young people's political engagement on social media is increasing at a time
when the 2020 election, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Black Lives Matter
movement are all hot issues of discussion and action. Seven out of ten young
people say they've seen information regarding the 2020 presidential race on at
least one social media platform. Instagram (51 percent), Twitter (48 percent), and
Facebook were used by half of young people (ages 18-24) to learn about the
election (47 percent). These three platforms were also the "top three" in 2018,
but the percentage of young people who claim they've seen election information
on them in 2020 is 25 percentage points greater on average than it was in 2018.
Since 2020 is a presidential election year, an increase is to be expected; yet, the
magnitude of the rise is notable. The average rise in our poll across all other
sources of information (news websites, teachers, etc.) was only 14 percentage
points, demonstrating a significant increase when it comes to accessing election
information on social media. Even TikTok, the least-mentioned social media
network, had considerably more young people accessing 2020 election news
from it than Twitter did in 2018.

Almost two-thirds of teenagers (64 percent) say they never or rarely publish
content or social media postings regarding politics, current events, or social
issues, with one-third citing a lack of qualifications as the primary reason.
However, over two-thirds of young people who generate material agree that it
has a beneficial impact on their lives. Creating social media posts or online
material regarding political/social problems that are relevant to them gives young
people the feeling that their voices are heard. An earlier CIRCLE study found that
kids who participate in political activity online are more likely to feel empowered
to participate in person.
The conversation about young people's usage of social media frequently takes
on a negative and patronizing tone, yet the data given here refutes such
assumptions. Social media is not just a great source of knowledge about
elections and civic engagement for young people; it is also a venue for youth to
express themselves and see the strength of their own voices. Simultaneously,
online media creation is a promising type of activism that contributes to young
people's expression of political identity as well as the development of civic skills
such as critical thinking, communication, debate, and collaboration. However,
young people connect with social media in a variety of ways, and the racial/ethnic
and gender differences we've uncovered highlight some of the ways biases in
who participates and feels comfortable engaging in online activism can be
reflected or perpetuated.
While social media has become an even more prominent tool of action as a
result of COVID-19, we must take care to create fair and inclusive young
engagement in these places. Booth et al., 2020; Tombaugh et al., 2020; Kiesa et
al., 2020; Lundberg et al., 2020; Cohen et al., 2020)
The Internet's technical revolution has played a key influence in the spread of
these new forms of political action and expression. For one thing, the Internet's
rapid and continuing expansion has altered the speed and ease with which
communication and information flows. In numerous instances, this has had a
knock-on effect on political engagement. For starters, the Internet has improved
information access, cutting the cost (and resources) of obtaining political
information (Schlozman et al., 2012: 487).
Contemporary youth have grown up with the Internet, and have become the
fastest adopters of new technologies. The 'Donets generation,' 'Netizens,' and
'digital natives,' it is proposed that this generation of young adults not only has
the digital skills to use new technologies effectively, but that these technologies
have also become so integrated into their lives that the online realm is the
'natural' world in which they will choose to act on or express their views. (Kim
and Amna, 2015: 224). Indeed, according to Boulianne (2015: 534), the
revolutionary potential of social media may be limited to young adults who grew
up during the Internet revolution, because they both use social media extensively
and are still forming their political identities and habits. As a result, this
generation of young people may be the first to see the mobilizing potential of
social media and the Internet in general.
Conceptual Framework
Choosing a worthy Presidential aspirant using a social media platform is a
proxy for a campaign strategy as a whole. There is a considerable concern about
using social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and etc. in
choosing their Presidential aspirant, and promoting a misinformation to the other
candidates. Findings support the hypothesis for those who used social media
platforms in choosing the presidential aspirant. Exhibit higher levels of perceived
high knowledge about politics.

The impact of algorithms and search on the formation of political beliefs
has sparked a global controversy. Concerns about the Internet's ability to provide
access to a worldwide treasure trove of information have altered whether users
of search engines and social media are being provided erroneous, fraudulent, or
misleading information. Information that is politically tailored and distorts public
opinion There are substantial concerns about whether the algorithms that power
search engines and social media have biases. Filter bubbles or echo chambers
can have huge political repercussions. For instance, do people get information
from search engines and social media that is relevant to them? Do they
encourage people to explore opposing viewpoints or do they confront them?
This study will help our research since this study addresses issues by asking
Internet users how they use search, social media and other important media to
get information about political candidates, issues, and politics generally, as well
as what difference it makes for individuals participating in democratic processes.

We conducted an online survey of Internet users in seven nations: Britain,
France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the US.
(2) R. Kelly Garret (2019) Social Media's Contribution to Political Misperceptions
in U.S. Presidential election
This study is concern about the role of social media, and since the election
is coming, many people uses their social media platforms in campaigning their
Presidential candidate and spread false information about the opponent party.
This study asks the respondents how they used their social media platforms in
campaigning their Presidential candidate, how they spread reliable informations
in the internet Social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are the
platforms that is used by the students, and how the social media have impact in
choosing a Presidential aspirant in coming election. Social media had no effect
on belief accuracy about the Republican candidate in that election.
This study will help us how the social media play in promoting misperceptions
during political campaigns. Social media had no effect on belief accuracy about
the Republican candidate in that election. The 2016 survey focused on campaign
issues. There is no evidence that social media use influenced belief accuracy
about these topics in aggregate, but Facebook users were unique.

Social media use by this group reduced issue misperceptions relative to those
who only used other social media (Garrett R.K. 2019).

There have been some changes in the Philippines, where there are an
estimated 67 million users of social networking websites. Troll accounts,
propaganda pages, and political memes have proliferated, effectively
weaponizing the internet and the online world (Camus, 2018). Competing
viewpoints expressed on the internet may become dangerous. Teachers and
environments are challenged to create learning opportunities that address these
issues.
Concerns multiliteracies are being integrated into teaching and learning in
educational institutions (The New York Times). Language sessions become
opportunities for students to engage in using several languages
(London Group, 1996). Techniques in message creation using a variety of
resources.
This study can help us to be familiarized with the use of pictures, sounds, and
film can result in interactive multimodal messages for a variety of audiences.
Moreover, multiliteracies and communication technologies let students share
their work with others regardless of geographical boundaries.

The youth are the most active social media users. As a result, student
involvement in social media has an effect on the result of an election. The goal of
this study was to identify student participation in social media on issues for
candidates in the 2016 Philippine Presidential Election. Because Filipinos rely on
the internet for communication and information, the internet has changed their
way of life in the Philippines. Social media is an important source of information
for millennials (Buenaobra, 2016).
Social media platforms are becoming popular as a means of self-expression,
communication, and influence, particularly in the context of political activism
(Pablo et al., 2014).

These websites have been employed to disseminate information, encourage
people to vote, advertise one's voting decisions, and even predict election
results. Politics is making an impact on social media right now.
Aspirant candidates, particularly those seeking national office, use social media
to rally supporters and garner votes. Candidates are creating their own social
media identities and using them to contact with voters, engage in real-time
dialogues, and assemble their supporters (Ames, 2014).
The goal of this study was to determine how many social media accounts and
sites students had, their preferred social media sites for political topics, and their
presidential preference. Another specific purpose was to describe student social
media participation in terms of responses, social media activities in which they
are participating, and frequency of involvement. The findings of the study may
offer light on tendencies in social media use and voter behavior that may
influence the election process and outcome.
(2) Cabalza, C., Sanchez, P., Aguas, R., & Sicat, M. (2021, June 16). Political
Participation through Social Media in the Philippines.
Another important factor to consider is the media in the Philippines. The
convergence has resulted in a media that, in one sense, is indebted to such
political and social actors while, in another, asserts a neutral representation of
data and powerful pro-people viewpoints when confronted with its audience.
There is also a geographic cultural divide in terms of media consumption, with
urban areas enjoying better access to mainstream and alternative media. This
study will further help and enrich our research in regards to the political
participation of the people and collating shared sentiments of frustration over
stubborn patronage and corruption. Because of its expanding pervasiveness,
social media is defined as somewhat of an autonomous resource and an
intervening method, establishing a link between Pinoy organic cultures and
values and their exercise of political rights and direct participation in government.
The study also shows how people share information not only to express their
opinions and beliefs but in hopes of influencing other people's ideas about a
certain government official.
(3) David CC, San Pascual MRS, Torres MES (2019) Reliance on Facebook for
news and its influence on political engagement.
This kind of study will help us to engage more and expose the people who are
active in politics content. Social media like Facebook is considered as new layer
of gatekeeping, it also defines the preference of friends list. At least for the
young, those who we consider as digital natives, FB is a natural part of their
media habits and for many of them, there could be a reliance on the platform for
exposure to political news. It is thus as important to know the quality of their use
of this media platform(David CC, San Pascual MRS, Torres MES 2019).

The emergence of social media has reformed the digital platform's
capacities in connecting people to grant them their freedom in interactions and
cooperation to bring their voice to the forefront, and they can depend on an
expanding amount of research analyzing the various associations between social
media and politics from various angles. When compared to the recognized
traditional media, the Internet has established new methods of communication,
which has dramatically influenced the flow of information.
Addressing social platforms is therefore crucial in analyzing how political groups
use the internet to build their own channels of communication and contribute to
political knowledge advancement.
This study will aid us in determining how social media influences the political
sphere; the increase in the circulation of information; and the effects of social
media on citizens through extensive research and analysis. Today we can rely on
more empirical evidence on the influence of the use of the Internet in politics
(Hardy & Sheufele, 2005; Howard, 2003), thereby giving more substance to the
debate.

period for the 2016 presidential elections in the Philippines. (D.N. Almarez, DM &
A.D. Malawani 2016). Social media is currently play a significant role in politics.
Through social media platforms, the users can acquire social resources, such as
political information, social services, or access to political officials and
institutions. This research will focused in choosing presidential aspirant using the
reliable sources of social media. This research will study the impact of social
media platforms in choosing a Presidential candidate.

In recent years, it has been said that social media has an impact on public
debate and communication in society. Social media, in particular, is becoming
more popular in political contexts. Micro blogging services (such as Twitter) and
social networking sites (such as Facebook) have recently been discovered as
having the potential to increase political participation.

While Twitter is an excellent platform for users to publicly disseminate not only
general information but also political opinions through their networks, political
institutions (e.g., politicians, political parties, political foundations, etc.) have
begun to use Facebook pages or groups to engage in direct dialogue with
citizens and encourage more political discussions. Previous study has shown
that political institutions are becoming increasingly important to continuously
gather, monitor, evaluate, synthesize, and visualize politically significant data
from social media.
In this paper, we present a methodological framework for social media analytics
in a political context. In particular, our framework summarizes the most important
politically relevant subjects as seen through the eyes of political institutions, as
well as analogous approaches from other scientific disciplines.

METHODOLOGY
Introduction
This chapter explains various methodologies that were used in gathering
data and analysis which are relevant to the research. It addresses the data
collection techniques, data collection procedures, data analysis and the
instruments used for the research. This study , descriptive research design is
define as a research method that describes the characteristics of the population
that is being studied. The data for this study was collected by creating a
questionnaire and conducting a survey. The study was carried out through
survey, in a Google form.
The rationale behind this choice is from the sense that Humanities and Social
Science (HUMSS) students are learning about politics, we also have subjects
that teach us about our government. Hence, there is a big possibility of obtaining
all relevant and necessary data from this students. Qualitative research is a
process of naturalistic inquiry that seeks an in-depth understanding of social
phenomena within their natural setting. The researchers use this to focus on the
"whys" rather than the "whats" of social phenomena and relies on the direct
experiences of human beings as meaning-making agents in their every day lives.
The reason is due to the fact it addresses the “how” and “why” research
questions and enables deeper understanding of experiences.

Respondents
The proponent selected the Senior High School of San Juan de Dios
Educational Foundation Incorporated-College to be the respondents of the study,
preferably the HUMSS students as respondents. The proponent had come up
with fourteen respondents who were sixteen to seventeen years of age, both
male and female, from grade 11 Blessed Contardo Ferrini students as
respondents. They answered the questionnaire that we gave to them, which
supplies the information we need.
They are the ones we need because one of their major subjects is politics, and
we want to know how they will choose their Presidential candidate using social
media.
Measures
The device that was used to collect the data was Google Form, and the
type of research questionnaire that was used was the computer questionnaire, in
which the Google Form was sent directly through their academic email address,
and to measure this data, we used the form of a survey. The questionnaire
contains up to 10 questions that consist of both open-ended and closed-ended
questions. For this reason, we were allowed to gather data and be able to
understand each HUMSS student's responses at San Juan De Dios Educational
Foundation Inc.-College.
The questions that were set out are related to the research paper we are
proposing, which is titled: Impacts of Social Media Platforms in Choosing a
Worthy Presidential Aspirant. Also, the qualitative sampling we used was
purposeful or purposive sampling with the reason to better know, analyze, and
gain a helpful idea that would help form our research paper.
Upon receiving the results, we noticed that the female students accumulated
64.3%, which was more than the male students, who accumulated 35.7%. And
the ages that were seen in the graph were between ages 16 with a percentage of
50%, while the other half was ages 17, which also has a percentage of 50%.
Then, for our first question, we asked the respondents what social media
platforms they frequently use, and the pie chart shows that 71.4% of the HUMSS
students use Facebook, 14.3% for Instagram, 7.1% for Twitter, and the
remaining 7.1% for YouTube. Next, they were asked how frequently they use
these platforms; 21.4% of HUMSS students said they use them at least twice a
week, while 78.6% said they always use social media. The third question asked
respondents why they use social media in the first place, and they responded
that the purpose of using it is to be entertained and be informed. After that,
HUMSS students all chose the option "yes" to the question: do you see any
political content during your time in social media? And for the question: Have you
ever noticed any political content activity on social media?

Now, proceeding to the next question: Have you ever searched for political
information in social media? There are students who answered "yes" with a
percentage of 92.9%, while there are 7.1% who answered "no". For the seventh
question, they were asked: how they found political information on social media?
Respondents that stated they found political related news on Facebook have a
total of 61.54%, Twitter has 15.38%, YouTube has 7.69%, and 15.38% for other
social media platforms. So, by seeing this widespread information in regards to
politics, did it change their views? 71.4% of them confidently said "yes," while
28.6% of other students said "no." Next that was asked was: Have you ever
verbally spread out the political information to people that don't have social media
accessibility? Students who answered "yes" accumulated 85.7% and the
remaining students accounted for 14.3%. Lastly, on the scale of 1–5 (very
unimportant to very important) how is it important for them to stay informed and
be aware about political issues? The scale 1 received 0%, the scales 2-4
received 7.1%, and the scale 5 received 78.6%.
Research Procedure
As part of this study, we will gather information about the influence and
implication of social media on HUMSS students of SJDEFI-College for them to
choose among the presidential aspirants who are the best for them. And to
gather that data and information, we have made a survey that we will distribute to
the grade 11 HUMSS students of SJDEFI-College.
