I. RELATED LITERATURE

A. FOREIGN LITERATURE

In connection to this, Jennifer Jerit and Yangzhi Zhao (2020), Whether they are realistic or not, people's

views about the political landscape frequently play a significant role in how they feel and act. Therefore,

it is crucial that researchers continue to advance in their investigation of the spread of false information.

B. LOCAL LITERATURE

In an article written by Kim G. Quilinging (2019), Professor Rachel Khan said that everyone needs to give

serious thought to how misinformation affects democracy, particularly in the Philippines. “The horrible thing

about fake news is it undermines democracy. Especially because social media is supposed to be a platform where

the ordinary citizen can have a voice.”

Wroclyl Jean Bullecer (2022), According to the findings of their study, 23 respondents thought that

students' involvement in trolls' online posts could broaden their political perspectives, while 42

respondents said that as voters, they try to weigh all of the information they find online before letting it

influence their political opinions. 86% of respondents who were asked about the perceived effects of

political online posts on their political beliefs responded that they were unaffected by them because they

already had candidates in mind for the upcoming election.

Zack Bastick (2021) discussed that disinformation runs the possibility of distorting people's perspectives

and negatively influencing their actions.

N.S Morais & F.A. Sobral (2019), According to their study, the students trust mostly on news and

information from television, printed media and radio. The participants normally confirm the authors of

the news and if there is mention to the sources, they also normally confirm where the news was

originally published. And lastly, the participants normally confirm the date of the news release and

verify the way it is written. Above all, these students don't simply accept the false information that

circulates online.

B. LOCAL STUDIES

Imelda B. Deinla's report from 2021 claims that the Philippines' democracy deteriorated as a result of

electoral interference and the emergence of a media and information culture in which fake news is

equally prevalent as true news, weakening the trust of reputable news organizations. The

results of their study emphasize the dangers of young people developing a greater skepticism toward

trustworthy news as a result of false news' potential to mislead them.

In the study conducted by Yvonne D. Besmonte, Jocelyn L. Aveno, Danilo S. Vargas (2019), Their

responses concurred that the fake news they are receiving helps them get to know the candidate better

and also enables them to make informed candidate selections.
