A Functional Analysis of Political Campaign Messages in Facebook During the 2016 Philippine Presidential Elections
ASSEMBLEA: An Online Journal of Political Science Volume 1 Issue No. 1 2019 Breaking the Fourth Wall: A Functional Analysis of Political Campaign Messages in Facebook during the 2016 Philippine Presidential Elections Lexanne O. Garcia & Alyza F. Españo University of Santo Tomas, Philippines [email protected] ABSTRACT The democratization of information and increased exchange of user-generated content has attracted candidates to utilize social media for their political campaigns. This phenomenon has resulted in the internet becoming an independent socio-political system with its modes of interaction, procedures, and standards for political campaigns. Furthermore, the functional theory of political campaign discourse provides a set of content and theoretical functions of these messages to describe how candidates would differentiate themselves from one another in the course of campaigning. Applied in the personality-based Philippine political setting, this study argues that dynamic access to social media, from the ends of voters and candidates, in campaigning has led to a political environment conducive to populism. As this study analyzed 548 Facebook posts of the five presidential candidates from April 9 to May 9, 2016, for the Philippine elections, it found that posts are dominated by sharing of personal activities and attacks on Duterte’s unorthodox political rhetoric. Attacks have a high propensity to go viral on social media and this virality, for any political candidate, means gaining popularity among social media users. Hence, the findings are consistent with studies claiming that virality is the most concise and effective strategy developed in an online campaign. Thus, this study found that dynamic access to social media led to a political environment conducive for populist rhetoric that helped validate experts’ explanations of Duterte’s victory as a product of the underdog effect. -

No part of this publication may be reprinted or reproduced or utilised in any form or by any electronic, mechanical or other means, including photocopying or recording, or in any information storage or retrieval system without permission in writing from the publisher. Introduction The 2018 State of the Province Address (SOPA) by Eastern Cape Premier, Phumulo Masualle, identified economic growth, job creation, road infrastructure, education and health, as key focus areas. Premier Masualle said the province would undertake various initiatives aimed at radical socio-economic transformation through “redistributive economic development aimed at reducing income inequality”. Prefaced by a summary of this year’s State of the Nation Address, this pamphlet sets out, in brief, the key points of the 2018 SOPA. We trust that this publication will prove useful to development practitioners and activists in the eastern Cape in striving for the rapid transformation of the province. Yours Faithfully Luvuyo Mosana Chief Executive Officer, ECSECC AT A GLANCE: The Eastern Cape State of the Province Address 2018 1 The 12 Priorities of the SONA National priorities set the scene for the planning of all provincial government programmes. As background to the SOPA, these are the top 12 priorities outlined by President Cyril Ramaphosa in this year’s State of the Nation Address. 1. Jobs There will be a jobs summit this year‚ an investment con- ference within three months and urgent action on youth unemployment‚ which Ramaphosa described as “our most grave and pressing challenge”. -
Compliance Theory: a Case Study Approach in Understanding Organizational Commitment
88 N. J. Celis DLSU Business & Economics Review (2018) 27(2): 88-118 RESEARCH ARTICLE Compliance Theory: A Case Study Approach in Understanding Organizational Commitment Nelson J. Celis De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines [email protected] Abstract: The Electronic Commerce (e-Commerce) Act of 2000 or Republic Act (RA) No. 8792 mandates all government agencies to transact business and perform government functions using electronic documents within two years from the date of its effectivity in June 2000. Unfortunately, only a handful of government agencies were ready to implement the said law in the year 2002 despite the availability of applicable information technology (IT) resources and appropriated budget. After 17 years, there is considerable improvement in the compliance with the said law, though there are still non-compliances of government offices that could not manage to be at par with leading compliant government offices. To understand the compliance behavior of an agency vis-a-vis the e-Commerce Act, I proceed in three steps. First, I adopted socio-economic theory on regulatory compliance Next, I use process pattern matching as a qualitative approach to examine the compliance variables by comparing the case-based empirical patterns with the operational framework. And third, I statistically test the hypotheses that organizational commitment and the organizational maturity on the use of IT impact the level of compliance. I do this by using case study method by combining the qualitative and quantitative analyses of the compliance behavior of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Commission on Elections Thus, this paper contributes to the theorization of regulatory compliance in understanding organizational commitment with electronic commerce and related laws involving the use of IT in the Philippine context with detailed elucidation of the variables influencing it. -

Biomatematický Model 2016 – Giro D´Italia – 9. Etapa Deváté Dějství Letošního Gira Byla Individuální Ča
Tipy na zajímavé etapy, které Biomatematický model 2016 – Giro d´Italia – 9. etapa byste chtěli do BMM zařadit, připomínky a náměty posílejte na [email protected] Deváté dějství letošního Gira byla individuální časovka délky 40,5km na členité a spíše klesající trati v nadmořské výšce 540 – 233 m n.m. mezi městy Radda do Greve in Chianti, což zní skoro jako z Radotína do Řevnic a velmi podobný profil by šel jistě sestavit i ve zdejším okolí (jen těch vinic tu tolik nemáme:). Pro jezdce to byl opravdu náročný test, protože většina jezdců se pohybovala na trati za deště a na kluzkém vodorovném značení nebyla nouze o pády. Po setinovém druhém místě v prologu se dočkal velkého vítězství Promoz Roglic (Team Lotto NL – Jumbo), který dokonale využil, vedle svých nesporných časovkářských kvalit, právě ještě suchou trať v úvodu. Pro Biomatematický model jsme původně s touto etapou nepočítali, přeci jen ta délka… ale kdybychom předpokládali, že jezdci BMM jeli za sucha? Více ve výsledkové listině na další straně.
