According to Chua, J. M. T., & Luyun, J. L. (2019), majority of the student

respondents in Cagayan Valley, Philippines strongly agreed that their day is not complete
if they do not open their social media accounts, but overall social media has an excellent
effect on the students. In terms of benefits they get from social media, it garnered a 4.252
over-all mean, which implies that most of the respondents obtain excellent benefits from
using social media Social media users create, share and/or exchange information and ideas
in virtual communities and they are able to network with other members who share similar
or common interest, dreams and goals.

Duque, G., San, N., & Brazil, L. (2017). indicate that as the students involve themselves in
social media sites, their relationship with their parents is not affected. Social media can be
defined in two ways: this can harm you, or enhance your interaction and maintain a
nourishing relationship with the people around you.

The factors that make Filipinos neglect the Philippine culture and arts are their use of
social media, television, and the internet where foreign cultures are readily accessible to the
youth. Filipinos also neglect the Philippine culture and arts because of their lack of
knowledge and participation, and the primordialism of ethnocentrism. The social media is
the biggest factor of the Filipinos’ indifference towards the Philippine culture and arts, and
that they lack knowledge and participation in culture and arts-related activities presented
to them (Bravo, C. D., Dimalanta, F. D., Jusay, K. A., Vitug, M. Y., & Tabuena, A., 2022).
