    Selfies: Managing identities on Facebook among UPV students
    Asturias, JLee Mei G.; Torres, Agape May T. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    This study is a descriptive research on the filters commonly used in self-presentation on Facebook among college students. It describes the level of self-presentation and identifies the factors that influence self-presentation through selfies. The data comes from 310 undergraduate students of the University of the Philippines Visayas College of Arts and Sciences in school year 2015-2016, selected through purposive sampling and with the use of a standardized questionnaire distributed through snowball technique. Data analysis makes use of descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency using frequency, percentage distribution and rank. The researchers conclude that there is an existing pattern on how respondents filter their selfies on Facebook. These filters are in terms of size, focus, angle, location, and occasion. The data also shows the manifestation of culture and relationships in posting selfies on Facebook. This research supports the theory Identity Management which suggests that identities are managed by individuals at different junctures of their culture and relationships. This study also concludes that UPV CAS students use selfies as a means of self-presentation and that the respondents agree towards positive self-presentation on Facebook.

    Relationship between media exposure and attitude of Iloilo City Junior High School students towards indigenous peoples
    Amon, Abigail; Garzon, Ma. Mercedes (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
    This research discusses the relationship between media exposure and the attitude of selected Iloilo City public junior high school students towards the indigenous peoples. Three hundred junior high school students from Bo. Obrero National High School, Iloilo City National High School, Mandurriao National High School, Ramon Avanceña National High School, and SPED - Integrated School for Exceptional Children served as respondents to a five-part questionnaire that included demographics, exposure to media and IPs, attitude, additional questions regarding the relationship between their media exposure and their attitude towards IPs, and the information they received and wished to receive from media. The researchers found that students were most exposed to online media and that they had low exposure to mediated content on indigenous peoples on all media platforms. It was concluded that respondents had an overall positive attitude towards indigenous peoples. Moreover, both the media industry and the educational system should be more responsible in supporting the IPs through wider media coverage and introduction to more media platforms.
