the world.
Maybe eight.
3. On a scale of 1-10, how often do you find posts about various social issues? Could you give some examples?
I’ll say two. I don't usually post on any social media platform. However I do enjoy scrolling through them.
It’s hard to tell.Some seem legit but I’ve heard stories of fake news so i tried to fact check when I can.
I can say that I know some of it since I’ve researched about it for our group activity.

For me no one is right since both of the countries are suffering especially the average citizens of Israel and
Palestine.

I read about it through online news articles.
8. Do you think the news that you've heard about the issue are true?
I think it’s right naman since it came from a trusted news Article.
Yes because social media has wide range to help disseminate information or to promote something

Well social media has pros and cons. The pros is that it can help us connect with other people while the cons is that
it can be a distraction for us. Sometimes it is not very reliable and credible, some do contain false information.

For me social media is a technology were in ideas and thoughts can be easily shared with other people through
online many people might say that it use for faster transaction or communication with other people tho is right but
for me i common usw social media for entertainment purposes specially with the times ifeel drained.

I would rated attend because i open find post about virous social issues such as gender inequality war and poverty.
I think that the post are true bucause it has a lot of evidence reported by trusted and reliable news.
I know something about it but icant provide detail information about it.

lives including the innocent children.

- I see social media as a platform for the public to spread and access information easily. Its main purpose if to
spread information with just a single click from anyone located anywhere in the world.
- About 8.
- 8. Recently, I've seen a lot of posts about the war between Hamas and Israel. I've noticed that the people I follow
post a lot about it. Hence, I consumed more content about the war. Then, it became included in my algorithm since
more people I did not follow but posts about the war can be seen on my feed on various social media platforms.
I'd say most of the posts I saw are true since it was actual credible media organizations who made the posts.
- I don't exactly know anything about dates but. Last October, Hamas (an Islamic resistance group) attacked Israel.
This sparked the war between Israel and Hamas. Before this, Israel and Arab nations/Islamic groups have had a lot
of conflict because the land where Israel is standing now is an occupied land. Meaning to say that Israel colonized
Palestine to establish their state. This caused push back from Arab/Islamic nations since Palestine became illegally
occupied by Israel.

- I think that there is not a right side to this. Both sides are at fault but Israel mostly is. The occupation of Palestine
to establish the state of Israel is unjustifiable even if they cite biblical references of the Jewish 'Promised Land'.
Both religions can live together in harmony in this so-called "Promised land", but the forced establishment of the
state of Israel ruined the harmony of the state of Palestine.

- Various articles from social media. This includes posts from professors, historians, and journalists.
- Yes.
- Yes its great for promoting advocacy but asking for donations is not the best way to do it. We cannot guarantee
that these donations get to the advocacies that these creators are advocating for.

- Its a double-edged sword. It has pros and cons. You need reading comprehension, media literacy, as well as
critical thinking for it to really benefit you. Without those, social media is just a mere weapon to manipulate you or
to entertain you.

For me social media serves as a platform for communication information sharing and networking its main purpose
can vary for individuals including stream connec ted with friends and family and accessing use and entertainment
I would rate my frequency of visit on social media 7 out of 10
I would rate the frequency of finding post about various social issues as 8 out of 10 some examples of social issues
including climate change social inequality and gender equality
I can say that this post are 100% true because the truthfulness of a social media post various is essential to fact-
check information verifying resources and consider biases critical thinking and verifying reliable news sources are
crucial for assessing the accuracy of post
I have limited knowledge about the weekend war between israel and palestine because i don't usually read or watch
this kinds of news

I don't have a personal opinions regarding this or we can see that i am neutral between the conflict of israel and
palestine because the Israel palestine conflict is complex with historical political and cultural differences

I heard this issue on internet
I think it's because i approach news and seek information from multiple resources to form a more balanced
perspective and reliable information
I think that social media can be a powerful tool for promoting advocacy because its provides a platform for raising
awareness and mobilizing

My overall impression of the social media is that the media has both positive and negative effects is a powerful tool
for communication and awareness but mis-information can lead to a potentially negative impacts on people, but its
still depends on people and society how will they use social media.

na dadating sakin na messages.
3. On a scale of 1-10, how often do you find posts about

various social issues? Could you give some examples?
1to10 5, kasi dinaman ako gaanog nag popost sa social media and nagiging aware rin lang ako dahil sa mga
friends ko, pero syemore tinitignan ko muna kung hindi ito fake news.
Syempre, my own experience may nakikita ako sa newsfeed ko or isyu nanaliksik muna ako kung legit ba ito o fake.
‘Di ako familiar dito piro, dahil ng sa social media or news is nagiging aware din ako sa nangyayari or naririnig
ko din Ito.

Mostly naririnig ko din ‘to and na ikuwento din sakin ‘to ni daddy na nasa ibang bansa, na gamit ang video call sa
messenger.

May reason naman kung bakit nag start ang away, pero hindi ko alam ang nilalaman ang impormasyon sa
dalawang country, wala akong kinakampihan kasi hindi nila na adapt ang peace sa isat isa.
Totoong news na ‘to pero minsan may kumakalat parin na fake news sa social media kaya mag ingat parin tayo
palagi sa mga ikakalat natin na information.
Yes, because it's pride awareness sa boong mundo na rin and masasabi ko rin na social media is kailangan natin
sa pang araw-araw.

Sa social media is may positive and negative din dito, positive dito pwede tayu makipag connect sa isa’t isa,
connectivity , awareness information update, pwede tayu makipag share anything white orders, ang negative naman
dito is pagkalat ng fake news.

I see social media as an entertainment platform and I think the main purpose of it, is to help us interact with
different kinds of people around the world.
8/10
7/10 and some of the examples of social issues in social media commonly aee poverty and discrimination.
Probably not, because everyone can make us believe on lies.
I only know a few information about the recent war between Israel and Palestine.

I think I side with Palestine because of the fact that they're being abused by the other country from their own nation
and it is a way of colonialism that is to take the land of people living there.

news
Yes, because it is from the news.
Yes, Social media is a good medium for promoting advocacy because this platform is open for many people around
the world. With that, we are persuading people to do good things in our society or changing things that is should be.

It is an advantage for others if it's properly used and disadvantage for other people if it's misused.

Social media helps us communicate with others. It helps us opportunity to connect and share informations with
them.
10/10
7, I think. I can find posts related to global warming, the war that's happening right now between Israel and
Palestine, and about poverty in our country, too.
Of course they're true, there are sources on the news.
I know about the brands that support the genocide in Palestine. And how hard the situation is for them, seeing
their loved ones die. The everyday suffering, it's hard.

I don't know. I just know that the war happening right now is gonna get worse if they don't fix the issue (territorial
and political).

Online. Most of what I know about the issue are from social media platforms, to mention: Facebook, Twitter, and
the News.
Yes, there are proofs of bombing kasi.
Yes, I think so. Because a lot of people use them, the possibility that people will see it and be concerned about the
issue is high. Some may even help donate and raise a fund for the Palestinians.

Social media is a big help to society. It helps us connect and interact with each other. Though that's not always the
case because others scam and misinform people using it.

I see social media as a entertainment source, it also helps me in so many things. I think the main purpose of this is
to communicate, to have interactions whenever and wherever.
I would rate it 10, like every time I touch my phone, I literally go straight to social media.
I think 6, mas nakakakita ako ng memes kaysa sa social issues.
When it comes to social issues, hindi ko siya pinaniniwalaan agad. I do find some evidence or I'll make sure that it
is come from a trusted source.
I don't really know much about it, I am just seeing young kids with extreme bruises in their body.

It's kind of hard to talk about it but I think, it's Palestine, dahil sa nakikita kong namatay mula sa kanila.

I actually saw it on social media.
Yes, definitely true. there are lots of evidences and TV news that are reporting about this issue.
Yes, for me it is a good medium for promoting, nalalaman ng mga tao ang mga nangyayari sa ating mundo, at
nakapagbibigay ng tulong para sa mga nangangailangan. Ito ay nakabubuti hanggat ito ay sa tamang paraan
ginagamit.

Helpful. social media is helpful even if there are toxic or bad effects for us.

- I perceived social media as an open platform for everyone to share their thoughts or opinions and a tool for easy
access to communication which, for me, is also the main purpose of it.
- I would give it a 9 out of 10, since I do always use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and many more.
- I would give this an 8 out of 10, and I do find various social issues but it's not always showing up in my feed.
Some of the examples that I could give are about Inflation in the Philippines, Philippines still being ranked low in
terms of Reading Comprehension, and outside of our country is the Genocide that is happening in Palestine.
- Well I do think that those posts that I saw in my feed were true because everything came from news outlet pages
like ABS CBN News, Manila Bulletin, etc., which are known for providing accurate information.
- I am aware of this very recent event but I'm not really that familiar with it.

- For me, it's very hard to side with someone or something especially if you don't fully comprehend the situation. I
could give my side once I'm fully aware of what's happening but right now, it's better to just stay off.

- I've actually heard this issue a lot from my friends and I've also seen some talking about it in social media.
- It depends. Accuracy of the posts that are made discussing about the issue could be based on the credibility of the
one who published it. And for me, I only trust the posts if the author is a well-known credible writer/journalist and
knowledgeable enough to present their thoughts about the issue and also providing facts to support their thoughts.
- For me, yes, social media is a good medium for promoting advocacy as it reaches different people across the world
since all of us, people, are now using social media on our daily lives. In this way, we could provide assistance to
fight different societal issues and provide something for good causes.

- My overall impression on social media is that, it is like a chameleon. It varies depend on how we use it, what we
post on it, and who are using it. Social Media is not good nor bad platform, but it will always be based on the factors
influencing it.

III. Content of the Blog
Social Media: The Double-Edged Sword
With the advancement of our society comes the advancement of technology. And with
the advancement of technology comes the advancement of different platforms, specifically,
social media platforms. It became a great approach to spread advocacies, information, and news
that assists the unity of everyone all around the world. It even became an alternative news
broadcasting media to inform a wide range of people easily. If we go back to 20 years ago, these
kinds of stuff are only open to adults, or more likely, these kinds of stuff only interest adults.
However, nowadays, even students–especially students–are dominated by social media. This
became even more prominent after the great pandemic where youth became so wildly exposed to
the internet, as it even became a part of their education. However is social media really a media
that the students are supposed to be using?
According to most of our interviewees, social media’s main purpose is to connect each
and every person around the globe. This can be through chatting, posting, or simply commenting.
Additionally, social media could also be used as a form of entertainment. Basically, social media
benefits us in a lot of ways such as to keep us informed and aware of societal and/or political
issues, or by simply keeping ourselves out of boredom. So, the answer is yes. Social media is
indeed very useful, and if used correctly, could be the most powerful weapon for generations.
Still, social media, as a source of information, needs a lot of analytical and critical
observation from reliable and trusted sources. This is a must in order to clarify the accuracy of
the information being issued. It's a hustle, since you need to ensure if the information you
received was actually true, especially during these times where a lot of fake news are very
common in social media. One more thing, excessive use of social media causes distractions for
students especially if they’re using it for entertainment purposes. And worse, it could lead to an
unhealthy addiction. And it’s kind of hard to imagine but a lot of people make use of us students
in order to do something harmful whether to ourselves or others via trends; for example dares,
pranks, and etc.
Basically, social media is a lot heavier topic than most of us assumed. And even the
topics that are being circulated are not light either. Take the Palestine-Israel war, for example, it
is being circulated throughout every platform, be it TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, you name it. And
sure, students should know about these, but not to the point where they have to witness actual
footage of bombings, killings, and violence. But still, this doesn’t change the fact that social
media is a great way to share information to the general public. So indeed, students who
frequently visited social media tended to have known more information about recent news,
specifically, the Palestine-Israel war. Meanwhile, those who rarely visited it tended to have
known less information about it. This then showed that social media is an effective platform for
broadcasting such issues (again, if used correctly).
It helps us to communicate, influence, advocate, share, and give information. But, it

contains a lot of bad effects such as addiction, cyberbullying, difficulty in sleeping, anxiety,
isolation, and so on and so forth. It could be beneficial but at the same time, disadvantageous if it
wasn’t used properly.
As Lorraine Grace Ortega of HUMSS 11-Agoncillo had said, “Social media is a double-
edged sword, requiring reading comprehension, media literacy, and critical thinking to
effectively use it for its intended purpose.”
