CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
During the pandemic outbreak, Filipinos began to appreciate the value of online buying. This led to the use of
two well-known online shops which are Shopee and Lazada, and the use of local e-wallets programs which are GCash
and PayMaya. In order to buy goods and services, the government introduced a new technique of purchasing online.
The goal is to allow consumers to directly buy goods or services from a seller over the Internet using a web browser or
a mobile app during the pandemic. It may be seen on different social media platforms. Promoting products online is
good since many people uses gadgets, internet, and social media nowadays.
Television and print advertising were used to advertise products. However, with the development of digital
technology, the use of advertising through social media evolved, which helped attract people and create a positive
perception of the product or service. Utilizing the internet, social media, mobile apps, and other digital communication
has become part of this generation. The use of technology has permeated the daily lives of billions of people. For
illustration, about 87% of adults and teenagers use the internet, and some of them use it to purchase products they have
seen because of the advertisements they see on different social media platforms.
There was an application that has been used before that contains random videos, and it is named TikTok. It is an
application where viewers can watch different video contents. As the day goes by, TikTok has now become a
platform where different people or even companies promote their products to the viewers. TikTok has millions of
downloads, and the whole world knows about this application and a very useful application for today's generation.

Social media advertising has produced more engaging online environment for brand recognition and business
promotion. Several businesses use social media platforms to target clients and build profitable relationships.
Customers' purchasing decisions are proven to be persuasively influenced by the strategic use of social media
networks in advertising. Customers are more likely to utilize social media to evaluate a product's quality and peer
evaluations to determine the product's credibility than to rely on traditional advertising methods.
Social media and the internet have significantly impacted Filipinos' daily lives. People spend a lot of time on
social media. Consequently, most businesses or organizations expand their product lines and services offered on online
channels. Nowadays, everyone is involved in online purchasing behavior. Small business owners use social media as a
platform to accelerate expansion because it is one of the most powerful tools available (e.g., Facebook, TikTok,
Instagram, Twitter). Typically, all small businesses use social media for exposure and advertising (Shabbir et al.,
2016). This study is principally concerned with the online buying procedures of the customers.
This research preys on finding out the answers to the questions of what are the impacts of Social Media
Advertising on Consumer Preferences ABM Students in AICS - Montalban Academic Year 2022-2023.

Based on the aforementioned questions, the researchers advanced the following hypothesis:
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Local
According to Wang & Yu (2015), the social interactions in social media platforms and social commerce were
operationalized using the electronic word of mouth (eWOM) communication and by observing the purchasing
behavior of other consumers to see and understand the effect of online purchasing to the Filipinos. Word of Mouth
(WOM) is triggered by the consumers experiences about a certain product by commenting, rating and giving
feedbacks. It affects other customers behavior from purchasing products or services. It is a way of advertising
products and services to other consumers and it is the most valuable source of marketing and influencing other

Figure 2. Buying Behavior on the Internet (Claro G. Gañac, 2018)
As for the Figure 2 that is showed, it says that purchasing activities is influenced by the consumer's
personality traits. It has been stated that certain consumers enjoy individualized lifestyles, seek out more
atypical consuming, and engage in more intense shopping and purchasing habits. They want a constant flow
of extremely intense consumption experiences, individualism, and more thrill. That's why some people are
addicted to online shopping because the speed and convenience of online shopping feeds the addiction part
of the brain.

According to Jafeta (2018), social media advertising has a big impact to consumer's preferences on buying
products online. This framework shows how social media advertising affects consumers preferences on purchasing

According to Koter & Keller (2009), attitude of the other consumers is one of the factors that affects other
consumer about purchasing behavior. For instance, other consumer talks about a certain product/service and gives
feedback to it, other consumers will be aware of the product and might like it nor not. It can influence customers to
buy the product or services that they might see in different social media platforms.

Figure 3. Social Media Advertising
As for the Figure 3, purchase intention may increase as a result of social media advertising's
more alluring videos or simply uploaded photographs with information can be used as ads, among other formats. The
effectiveness of commercials' visual influence posted on social media can greatly boost consumers' intentions to make
purchases.

consumers among female customers. Female consumers are easily attracted to advertisements that are alluring to them

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The framework used by the researchers is the IPO Model; it shows the variables that are used to arrive at the
The researchers intended to find the factors that affects consumers on buying products online and describe their
experiences by collecting data in the means of conducting informal interviews with the participants . The collected
data will be analyzed by the researchers to gain more knowledge on how social media advertising affects the

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study shows how social media have a positive impact on business as well as customers. When it comes to
social media promotions, they can be defined as trending and powerful promotional tools that can be used for
upgrading the business and making it reach a whole new level in the digital world. Organic and paid use of different
Social Media Channels to reach the most relevant audiences and convert them into customers is one of the prime
Students
Young people nowadays already know how to buy their needs for school by using online apps, or by using
social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Shopping online allows you to look at different stores to
get what you want without having to leave your room. This ensures that you are getting the best prices for what you
want.
Celebrities usually buy products online because they don't want to be the center of attraction in public places.
Online shopping is also important to them because sometimes they are busy with their work. with modern technology,
Teachers
One of the people who will benefit the most from promoting products on social media are teachers who are
very busy with their teaching job, so they only buy online to save time, one of the things that help is the product

Medical Front liners
During the height of the pandemic, medical front liners such as nurses and doctors, and other jobs that
provide services to every person, became absorbed in the vigilance of every person, those affected by the virus. and
since the front liners are dealing with people affected by the virus, they don't have to go far to buy their necessities.
because with the help of online shopping and online advertisement, it will be safer and avoid contracting the disease.
therefore, online shopping and social media advertisements have become more popular, especially among medical
front liners.
This study is limited only to ABM Students in AICS - Montalban during the Academic Year 2022-2023.

in this chapter.
FOREIGN LITERATURE
According to Fotis (2015) described that the influence of social media on buying behavior of customers
with respect to the tourism services. Hoyer et al., (2010) revealed from the findings of the study that the social
media is a platform where customers convey information to others by the help of electronic word of mouth,
recommendations, and reviews and according to Bughin, Doogan & Vetvik (2010) described that the social media
advertisement has a great impact on customers particularly who buy the product for the first time. The social media
ads are very helpful to do analysis and comparison of high-end products before purchasing them. As a result,
customer will always use social media to get data about the products and services and they will always look for the
good word of mouth before purchasing any product or availing any services.
According to Wang & Yu (2015) that there are both negative and positive reviews about the service or product
which affects the consumer’s purchase decision and according to Harshini (2015) showed the analysis of the previous
theoretical form of research on social media advertisements and customer’s buying intention .it shows their popular or
features of social media advertisement what effect it has on the buyers and get the human intention. Conforming to
Balakrishnan, Dahnil & Yi (2014) described that the online groups, electronic word of mouth, various internet
communication and online publicity are very much helpful to build the positive brand image and consumer’s buying
intention with the help of social media similar to Lee (2013) explained that the customers look intensively for the
information about the product on social media sites with respect to any other mass media and according Martinka
11
(2012) depicted that an analysis conducted between Facebook and Twitter groups. Both are famous social networking
sites and they also influence the purchasing behaviour of consumer. A survey was conducted using 3-point Likert scale
to know about the various applications of social media. The final output showed that the group present in social media
control or command over the traditional online purchase of customer. The study also shows that Facebook has greater
impact on consumer’s online buying behavior as compared to Twitter. Thus, the social media communities are very
important target in the online market. Drell (2011) demonstrated that out of 100 per cent, maximum information
sharing of online shoppers were 20 percent and they were mainly teenagers who are dedicated to the brands. according
Webster (2011) described that twenty five percent of social media users purchase their favourite brands via various
social networking sites out of which maximum users prefer Facebook as their brand page.
According to (Kapoor et. al., 2017) these sorts of online platforms improve consumer relations through the
display of marketing messages on social media.The displayed marketing messages on Facebook, Snapchat, Youtube
and Twitter for instance; are driven by users‟ generated content that could persuade. This study mirrors previous
studies such as Shareef et al and Kapoor et al. (2017) that examine the effectiveness of social media marketing as an
effective tool of viral marketing. The social media marketing is able to reach a larger audience and popularize brands
on a global scale compared to the traditional way of advertising and the effectiveness of social media advertisement is
that it can influence consumer consumption, they use it to find out where the losers are the millennial's. Conforming to
Gibson & Sodeman (2014) credited this is due to the technological advancement achieved throughout the years in
terms of social media, mobile and electronic devices. TNS Global Research Consultancy (2017) reported that the
average of Millennial's in Malaysia spend 3.8 hours per day in social media platform whereas the average spending
hours of global Millennial's is 3.2 hours per day Local Millennial's thus is deemed to be a suitable focus group as
adverts are more likely to be seen by younger consumers whom have more time and they like shopping compare to

According to Johnston (2018), There is little theoretical and empirical research on the global effectiveness of
SMA and its impact on consumer behavior in the social media environment, despite the rapid rise of social media and
the hype surrounding social media advertising (SMA). To comprehend the intervening function of SMA value and
attitude and represent how consumers respond to SMA across cultures and global social media types, this research
builds a four-stage belief-value-attitude-behavior paradigm. The findings support the mediation roles of attitude and
value and show that behaviors specific to social media are increased by a favorable attitude toward SMA (i.e., message
and social interaction behaviors). In the higher-uncertainty-avoidance culture, the results of the moderating influence
of culture show a bigger impact of infotainment on SMA value and of credibility on SMA value and attitude. In global
content community sites as opposed to global social networking sites, infotainment has a greater impact on SMA value
and attitude, but there is a moderating effect in the other direction on the impact of credibility. The study advances our
theoretical knowledge of customers' behavioral reactions to SMA in global markets. Geographical boundaries have
been eliminated as a result of the Internet's rising influence, which has reduced the world to a small virtual space. The
dominance of the Internet has made social media advertising possible, which is a revolutionary development in the
marketing sector. In addition to actively sharing their ideas on various social media platforms through tweets, posts,
blogs, reviews, videos, and more, millennial's are no longer only passive recipients of the information. To stay current
with all the latest information, millennial's are turning away from traditional commercial channels and becoming
immersed in social media platforms. We investigated the effects of social media advertising on millennial's tastes
because of the enormous impact it has had on our lifestyles. The goal of the article was to assess the scope of social
media advertising and the strategies utilized by brands to sway millennial consumers' preferences. A close-ended
questionnaire was utilized to gather primary data from social media users for the paper, which was based on a
descriptive and inferential research approach. As they frequently read blogs, used social media platforms to compare
various products, sought advice from experts before making a purchase, and considered how many likes and dislikes a
product had, the report highlighted the respondents' preferences for using social media websites. Additionally, the

help marketers construct their advertising tactics for a variety of target audiences. Advertisements are simply used for
product branding wherein positive consumer attitude towards the brand is stimulated.
LOCAL LITERATURE
According to (Lee, 2009), In talking about print media, more people would likely associate it with books,
newspapers and magazines. Print media have wider range and come in different sizes and shapes.because print media
is more effective if it is written in books, journals, billboards, posters, flyers and magazines. Nonetheless, Mautner’s
book focuses on newspapers and magazines, in order to consider their role in the media landscape, as well as how they
are produced and read. Also, through the course of time, print media did not only stick to words but now uses visual
prints. The use of photographs, the use of symbolic appeals and the use of colorful prints have shown results in print
advertising. Furthermore, to conform to the wish of many advertising customers that their advertisements be published
in color, magazines, brochure and newspapers, and other print medium flourish and didn’t became obsolete thanks to
advertising inserts. The invention they made that is a device that they believe that by the man to make profit that they
invented can change the visual communication technology, that the device is television so that they can influence and
spread like a wildfire which is a big help to us and can change our lifestyle. Mobile is a fantastic platform for brands to
engage customers through more intensive content marketing and enhanced customer experiences due of its growing
user base. However, consuming content is one of the three digital activities engaged mobile users engage in. They are
also content creators and curators, which allows companies and their customers to work together on content. Because
of the focus on content, marketers are now accountable for creating high-quality content that targets the right
consumers in the right places. This serves as a reminder of the need for personalization or the ability of brands and
communications to change to suit people. The ability to create and publish content as well as enhance client
experience depend on this ability. Last July 26, in Square One, Bonifacio Technological Center, BGC, GetCRaft,
14
Southeast Asia's leading content marketing network, presented a white paper on the state of digital marketing in the
Philippines. The market inquiry compiles information and insights from a survey of marketers across major cities in
the Philippines conducted in 2017. The paper solicits suggestions for moving these results forward and aims to provide
unbiased glimpses of the digital and content marketing industries. The purpose of this article is to inform readers about
the state of digital and content marketing in the Philippines at the present time. Although social media still reigns
supreme, content marketing, influencer marketing, and sponsored content. 21.5 percent of marketers' budgets go
toward digital. Most of the demographic factors driving this rise are consumption, the emergence of the middle class,
and the growing uptake of mobile young. The expansion of the internet, increased internet usage, and faster broadband
will all benefit digital marketing. Gaining information will have a favorable effect on development as well. The
increase in knowledge will also have a positive effect on growth. As marketers gain a better understanding of the
models that enable them to best achieve their goals, digital channels will increasingly be seen as more profitable,
According to Asma and Misbah (2018), social media marketing influences the consumer's intentions to
purchase. This is because of effective social media advertising that influences the perception of consumers which has
an impact on their purchasing behavior. The more they see how interesting the product or service is, the more likely
that they will buy. It has become a part of every Filipino lives since the pandemic strikes. Because of the pandemic
outbreak, Filipinos began spending their whole day scrolling through social media. It became their hobby to check and
to read feedbacks about a certain products or services, and it definitely influences their purchasing intentions. The
effect advertising aims effectiveness in different media to each Filipino millennials who know better what is the trend
or what the millennials want. Aside from Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, there are also different shopping
applications that sells different products as well as Shopee, Lazada, Amazon, and many others. Since Filipinos spent
their time scrolling through their gadgets, marketing and promoting products in various social media has a big impact
to them especially when it is more affordable to buy through online rather than in physical store. Businesses can better
15
understand market demands and boost brand recognition as a result of these online activities. It has become more
convenient for Filipino consumers to stay connected. As a result, social media benefits both consumers and businesses.
According to (Dollarhide, 2021), social media and the internet have had a big impact on Filipinos' daily life.
People can collaborate or exchange information through social media, a technology With the use of the internet, it can
offer real-time information interchange. The Philippines ranks among the top countries for the amount of time spent
online, despite the fact that the internet connection there is frequently unreliable and poor (Digital Marketing Institute,
2021). Online platforms have developed into commercial and marketing channels as a result of new market trends and
technology improvement. The top social media sites used for commerce and marketing in theicacy of a consumer buy
intention influencer. Additionally, there is a strong correlation between customer purchase intent and advertising
efficacy. Because women use the internet Philippines are Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter.
(Malig, 2021). Additionally, it became clear that Filipinos were increasingly influenced by social media in terms of
their purchasing habits throughout the pandemic because it is more convenient, affordable, lesser interactions with
other people and is more comfortable to use. Filipinos are easily influenced by trends. It became their hobby to
purchase online and to make a feedback about it, either it's good or bad.
According to the respondents' evaluation, a trusted influencer who upholds the majority of their integrity can
alter consumers' behavior and purchase intentions. Attractiveness and connections to the product are viewed as being
suitable as well. The assessment of the respondents also suggests that there is an upbeat and agreeable attitude toward
the various advertising effmore frequently than males, they have a higher opinion of social media influencers. The
goal of the study is to ascertain how customers perceive the effectiveness of social media influencers' advertising in
relation to their intention to make a purchase. According to the researcher, in order for an influencer to be successful
on social media, particular methods and abilities need be tailored to appeal to customers' purchase intentions. The
"social media influencer questionnaire" created by Xin Jean Lim was used in the study. It is a structured survey
created to evaluate and examine the impact of social media influencers on customers' intention to make a purchase. A
16
total of 200 respondents from NCR, Metro Manila, participated in the study, with 129 women and 71 men, the
FOREIGN STUDIES
According to Husnain et al. (2016), electronic word-of-mouth has more significant effects on purchasing
behavior than traditional word-of-mouth. Word-of-mouth advertising helps clients feel more confident about the
products they are sold, which also raises their level of satisfaction. There is little data on how social media marketing
initiatives affect the development of brand equity and consumers' attitudes about a business. By examining pioneering
luxury labels (Burberry, Dior, Gucci, Hermès, and Louis Vuitton), this study investigates these connections. The study
creates a structural equation model that aids in filling in gaps in earlier social media branding literature based on a
survey of 845 luxury brand consumers (Chinese, French, Indian, and Italian) who follow the five companies analyzed
on social media. The study specifically highlights the connections between social media marketing activities and their
results (brand preference, price premium, and loyalty). The study evaluates brands' social media marketing efforts
using a five-part holistic concept (entertainment, interaction, trendiness, customization, and word of mouth). The
study's further contribution is its discovery that SMMEs significantly enhance brand equity and its two primary
components, brand awareness and brand image. Social media's widespread use has ushered in a new era for businesses
and brands, driving them to look for fresh, interactive methods to connect with and involve their target audiences
(Gallaugher and Ransbotham, 2010, Kozinets et al., 2010). This rapidly growing marketing medium offers unmatched
chances for brand and reputation building and already touches more than two thirds of all Internet users (Correa et al.,
2010, Spillecke and Perrey, 2012). Despite increased scholarly interest, quantifying the influence of social media
marketing activities on important brand success indicators remains one of the ongoing issues despite the fact that
social media offers new opportunities and advantages for brand management (Kaplan and Haenlein, 2010). (Schultz
and Block, 2012, Schultz and Peltier, 2013). Furthermore, research that analyzes branding literature's perspective on
social media marketing effects is still primarily exploratory and devoid of empirical data (Hollebeek, Glynn, & Brodie,
17
2014). Despite a few notable exceptions, brand equity has thus far received little attention in the context of social
media marketing and its performance (e.g. Kim & Ko, 2012). By providing a thorough methodology that demonstrates
how social media marketing efforts affect brand equity and customer behavior toward five luxury brands in four
countries, this research adds to the body of earlier material. The goal of this study is to methodically and thoroughly
investigate how social media marketing affects consumer responses by building brand equity. REFERENCES -Y.Q.

Social media advertising is a new type of advertising for businesses that has emerged as a result of the quick
increase in social media users. One of the biggest issues that advertisers have traditionally had to deal with is the low
level of customer acceptance of advertising. It's critical to pinpoint the social media commercials' standout features
that affect consumer perception. The goal of this study is to identify the variables that affect consumer purchase intent
and how social media advertisements are perceived. Exploratory factor analysis was used to conduct a survey and
identify the factors that had a significant impact on respondents' perceptions of social media advertisements. Since the
invention of the internet, traditional media has regressed a bit and is only becoming more and more obsolete. Facebook
and YouTube are more often utilized now that the internet is more accessible. Social media is now used by millions of
internet users worldwide. When social media first gained popularity, it was primarily used for socializing and
interacting with people around the globe. However, as its user base grew, businesses started to recognize social
media's business potential (Alalwan, 2018). Additionally, compared to traditional media marketing, social media
marketing appeared to be more practical and affordable. Marketers picked this up right away (Alalwan et al., 2017).
Because this was a new platform, there were no established safe routes to follow. There were so many untapped
prospects that it was required to test, analyze, and deploy the best marketing strategies. Meme marketing was one of
the key marketing ideas that helped businesses gain the first mover advantage. These marketing innovations' timing
was also very important.A new campaigning model is being developed and tested in the industry as a result of these
changes. Marketers had to modify their existing plans in order to adapt to this change in the media landscape. Due to
18
the absence of any commercial content on social media in the past, the marketing industries were mostly impacted.
Understanding the behaviors and reactions of social media users. This study was inspired by the fact that, while some
prior research in the field has been successful in identifying and comprehending the external factors that affect social
media advertising, very few studies have looked at the impact of internal factors, specifically the features contained in
According to (Kumar, 2018), the following aspects influence a customer's impulsive purchasing behavior:
website quality, hedonic motivation, situational factors, and trust Hedonic shopping motivation refers to a person's
urge to buy in order to gratify psychological demands such feelings of emotion, satisfaction, status, and other
subjective feelings. Merima et al. (2011) claim that it happens as a result of an individual's emotional reaction, sensory
delights, and dreams. Lack of human or personal interaction and anonymity are two aspects that encourage online
impulse buying. An essential benefit of internet shopping over traditional retail is anonymity, and it is likely that an
impulse buy will be made when circumstances guarantee anonymity. People engaged in online buying because it is
more affordable, lesser interactions, and enables individuals to read multiple feedbacks about a particular product or
service. There are some things that people are reluctant to purchase in-person, thus for those clients, purchasing online
would be more advantageous and comfortable. The same may be said about offline purchases, which require direct
physical contact with others (such as salesman, companions), as opposed to online purchases, which are made
privately and alone. This being the case, it has been observed that physical purchasing creates hindrance in impulse
buying as compared to buying on internet. Buying internet can make individual's mind to be interested in a certain
products or services. Especially nowadays, people are engaged in scrolling through various platforms of social media.
Different advertisements and promotions are there, making individual to purchase online.
According to Meslat (2018), Social Media are applications or websites that allows users to participate and
engage in social networking by creating or sharing different contents. Similar to this, Zhou and Zimmermann (2013)
reaffirm that social media refers to the use of internet-based media that enables individuals to take part in the
marketing, selling, comparing, rating, purchasing, and sharing of goods and services in both offline and online market
places as well as in communities. Social media includes networking site such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and
19
YouTube, among others. These social media platforms took its place for advertising and promoting different products
and services. TikTok launched their new update for live selling and online buying, becoming a new social media
platform to sell online, promote products, and advertising. Ndurura (2020) asserts that social media improves the
development and maintenance of relationships through casual talks between individuals about a subject of shared
interest. In support of this, social media is about information exchange and occasionally involves decision making.
Before purchasing, it is really important to individuals to know their products well. It has been a huge part of people
nowadays, checking the feedbacks of the consumers about a particular product or services before purchasing to make
sure if it is worth buying. Nearly 1.5 billion people, or one in four people globally, used social media networks in
According to GlobeStat (2020), the number of social media users had significantly surpassed two billion
people three years later. This suggests that during the previous few years, social media usage has increased.
Additionally, according to Alnsour et al. (2018), the usage of social media was expected to increase by an additional
7% annually. Young people and children used social media more frequently than older people, who were among the
least active users (Putter,2017). However, Lilima (2020) discovered an intriguing piece of data between social media
usage and age. Although social media users between the ages of 20 and 30 were more likely to be subscribers, Lilima
(2020) discovered that the rate of new users was high among the more senior members of society (aged between 40
and 50). In his analysis of the relationship between age and social media use, Ricardialiono (2020) found that there are
considerable disparities between age groups and that each age group has a different tendency to use social media.
More likely young people and children uses social media to purchase products online while adults uses social media to
communicate with others. However, according to Yoong and Lian (2019), consumer purchase intentions refers to
individual's decisions or willingness to buy a particular service or products. Additionally, purchase intentions is also
defined by Alnsour et al. (2018) is related to the customers behavior, attitude and preferences.

LOCAL STUDIES
In the Philippines, online advertising plays a significant role in promoting the products and services of
businesses. This is because the majority of Filipino audiences spend a lot of time online and often discover products on
social media posts— especially on Facebook, 24.2% of the total media ad spending was spent on digital advertising in
2020. Online advertising has made it possible for most small and medium businesses (SMBs) to compete against large
The data collected from Yahoo -Nielsen Net Index (2011) represents where the Philippines as a country is
going in regard to Digital or Social Media Marketing. From 53% to 82%, social network engagement is no longer new
to Filipinos, and it is only pragmatic that companies are investing their money where increase ROI is guaranteed.
Though some companies still rely on traditional media; television, print, or radio, and digital medium is still in its
infancy the outlook is bright for digital marketing . This can be correlated to the outstanding number of mobile devices
being sold in our local market. Advertising in the Philippines has evolved beyond traditional tri-media outfits (print,
TV and radio). Local advertisers now also use electronic billboards, web advertising, mass transit or public transport
advertising, special events and product launches, direct marketing, social media promotion, and other tools to promote
their products. Although some advertisements utilize Western image models or concepts, many market segments are
“localized” versions of product advertising and brand-building. The use of celebrity endorsers or other high-profile
personalities is a well-tested and well received formula for local advertising. Filipinos use the internet for an average
of 10 hours and 56 minutes every day. As a result, Filipino consumers will continue to be open to marketing
communication, including targeted messaging, commercials, and tailored content. Using social media advertising is
one of the greatest and most successful strategies to directly reach your target customers. The most frequent and
engaged social media and internet users are thought to be Filipinos. Philippines continues to lead the pack in terms of
the amount of time spent on social media platforms even during the pandemic. Utilizing social media advertising is
one of the best and most efficient ways to directly reach your target audience.
21
According to Hootsuite (2021) and We Are Social that Filipinos use the internet on average for 10 hours and
56 minutes every day. As a result, Filipino consumers will continue to be receptive to marketing communications,
including tailored content, advertising, and targeted messages, this gives Philippine companies the opportunity to
attract new clients in the internet market and increase sales. Facebook also holds over 93% of the country's social
media market share as of 2020. Filipinos are known for the most active users of the internet and social media. Even
during the pandemic, Philippines remains at the top of the list in terms of time spent using social media platforms.
Also, our country is home to the most creative and freshest advertisements and marketing campaigns and has also been
a hotspot for international companies seeking to expand in international markets. If you’re a brand who wants to stand

Since then, Filipino entertainment television has assumed and maintained a dominance in national popular
culture, which expanded in the digital era. The media landscape into which digital technologies were launched in the
Philippines was largely set. Building upon the long development of entertainment industries in the Philippines, new
social media encounters with entertainment content generate expanded and engaged publics whose formation
continues to operate upon a foundation of televisual media. This article considers the particular role that entertainment
media plays in the formation of publics in which comedic, melodramatic and celebrity-led content generates networks
of followers, users and viewers whose loyalty produces various forms of capital, including in notable cases political
capital.

Ysabelle C Braza, Andre John A Manglicmot, Ma Beatrice G Tecson, Paul Angelo D Woo, Marie Abigail Posadas
International Journal of Social and Management Studies 3 (5), 37-50, (2022) Advertisement plays a vital role in
communicating and convincing customers to purchase goods or services. This study investigates the influence of
advertisements to purchase FMCG among rural families in Laur, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. It aims to determine how
families in the rural area perceive advertisements and know what factors should be considered to arrive at a specific
advertisement applicable to families in the rural area. The study will use a quantitative method, and data will be
collected using descriptive correlational research and the random sampling technique. This study will help businesses
22
to understand how advertisements affect rural consumer behavior. These businesses will improve and align their
advertising materials to effectively communicate and create relationships with rural customers.
The Philippines is a market that values brands. The majority of consumer items are promoted for sale through
advertising. The majority of the nation's top advertising agencies are connected to foreign organizations. Local
advertisers now use electronic billboards, web advertising, mass transit or public transport advertising, special events
and product launches, direct marketing, social media promotion, and other tools to market their products. Over the
years, advertising in the Philippines has expanded beyond the traditional tri-media outlets (print, TV, and radio). Even
while some advertisements use Western image models or concepts, brand-building and product advertising are widely
used in various market areas. Using high-profile individuals or celebrities as endorsers is a tried-and-true strategy for
local advertising.
According to Arellano (2022) Social media and the internet significantly impacted Filipinos' daily lives. In all
facets of their lives, people spend a lot of time on social media. Because of this, the majority of firms provide more
items and services online. Businesses use a variety of marketing methods in the modern world to entice customers to
buy their products. several Filipinos frequently use a variety of online venues to consider their options. That stated,
what Filipinos see and hear has a big impact on their buying patterns, which has a big impact on their buying habits.
This study looks at how social media marketing has an impact on Filipino consumers' purchasing decisions. In this
study, the researchers used a qualitative research methodology. To learn more about the participant's perceptions of the
purchasing decision-making process, a focus group was conducted. Using a sampling approach called "purposeful
sampling," participants who met the criteria of being parents, employed, and students were chosen.

SYNTHESIS OF THE REVIEWED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
We learned about how social media plays such a vital part in our modern lives from the collected global and
local studies. Due to the constant advancement of technology over the years, social media has become an unavoidable
part of modern life. Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter are the most popular social media platforms
used for marketing and commerce in the Philippines, according to Malig. These websites give nearly three-quarters of
Social media platforms have developed into a good hunting field for businesses looking to draw attention to
their products by putting adverts that link to their particular online stores, such as Shopee, Lazada, Amazon, and many
others. Consumers in the Philippines now find it easier to stay connected. As a result, social media benefits both
consumers and businesses. Asma and Misbah (2018) claim that social media marketing has an impact on consumers'
purchasing intentions. Due to its expanding user base, mobile is a terrific platform for brands to engage customers
through more extensive content marketing and improved customer experiences. However, one of the three digital
According to the respondents' evaluations, there is a positive and accepting attitude toward the various
advertising strategies' ability to impact consumers' purchase intentions. Additionally, there is a significant link
between advertising effectiveness and customer buy intent. Women are more likely than men to utilize the internet,
and as a result, they have a higher perception of social media influencers. After combining their broad viewpoints, we
concluded that specific techniques and skills must be designed to appeal to clients' buying intentions for an influencer
Philippines advertising has progressed beyond the country's traditional tri-media outlets (print, TV, and
radio). Local businesses now advertise their goods through electronic billboards, websites, public transportation or
mass transit, special events and product debuts, direct marketing, social media promotion, and other methods. Many
24
market segments use "localized" forms of product promotion and brand-building, even though some advertisements
use Western image models or concepts. The use of high-profile individuals, such as celebrities, as brand ambassadors,
As a summary of this synthesis, we may state that it became evident that Filipinos were increasingly
influenced by social media in terms of their shopping habits during the pandemic since it is more practical, more
economical, requires fewer social connections, and is more comfortable to use. Filipinos are susceptible to trends.
They developed the hobby of making internet purchases and leaving reviews, whether favorable or unfavorable

purchasing behavior of the individuals. In order to gather the necessary data, we utilized the causal-comparative
As a result of understanding the aims and objectives of this study and exploring previous research
similar to this topic, we used Quantitative method for data collection and we feel that this is the suitable method
for our study. Quantitative research refers to research doing numerical and is the collection of numerical data
and facts and the study of the relationship between these group of facts, Because of this information, we thought
that this method of data collection would be suitable for this study that we conduct as we hope to discover why
rates of people's purchasing behavior are influenced by the social media advertisements.
Therefore, this study will use questionnaires for data collection. Questionnaires will be use to collect
information from the ABM Students of AICS Montalban. Questionnaires are generally less expensive and do
not consume a lot of time. Questionnaires are popular research methodologies because they provide a quick,
efficient, and low-cost way to collect huge amounts of information from big sample sizes. These instruments are
especially useful for assessing subject behavior, preferences, intentions, attitudes, and opinions.

A crucial phase in the research process is choosing the participants in your study, which requires careful
consideration. It is something you should consider as soon as you begin designing your research project. It is
simple to draft a superb research proposal only to discover that it is impossible to find the volunteers the
investigation needs. There would be no research without volunteers, and volunteers frequently have a stake in
the study's outcomes. Participants can choose whether and how long they would like to participate in a study. In
the end, the answers they give produce the data required for the research project.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS
There are 60 respondents in this study, and the questionnaire is utilized to examine how social media
advertising affects customers' purchasing intentions. The survey had a time limit of one or two minutes for
respondents. The responses to the surveys were collated and then subjected to analysis for figuring out how each
variable affects consumer purchase intention and how those variables relate to one another.
The questionnaire will be self-administered by the researcher. For the Grade 12 students at AICS
Montalban, the researchers created and utilized a box checklist. For them to respond accurately, comprehend,
and know the information acquired in the prepared question based on the questions in the box checklist, this will
be done through a face-to-face survey. This allows the researcher to clarify each question in detail in case some
respondents have trouble understanding. This is carried out to guarantee that all questions are answered
honestly.
The face-to-face survey has three components for this question. The responders will receive a paper for
Part I, which has information gleaned from their profile, including their names, ages, genders, schools, and
strands, so they may review their responses to each question. They will check the box next to their response to
each of the 15 questions in Part II of the face-to-face survey. The reading passages comprise Part II of the
