Sympathy towards victim cases of Extrajudicial Killings PAGE 4
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Extrajudicial killing is an injustice act (Parena, 2017) wherein children and teenagers
(Galivan, 2017) are both victims (Villa, 2017; Masters, 2017; Quiano, 2017). In the
Philippines, a report made by the International Human Rights stated that President Rodrigo
Duterte assigned the act of extrajudicial killings in his war on drugs (Geronimo, 2017)
resulting to the Philippines ranked as the most dangerous country in Asia (Saladero, 2009).
However, the Duterte regime keeps on ignoring the killings brought by the fascist policies
extrajudicial killings appeared in social media sites, the quantity of political activists
Bennett, 2012).
The Roman Catholic Church is one of the biggest institution in the Philippines that
opposes EJK (Aurelio; 2017; Baldwin & Mogato, 2017) and promotes human rights, (Santos,
2017; Aurelio, 2017; Morella, 2017). According to the Catholic Bishop Conference of the
Philippines (CBCP), killing is not the solution but to help the poor with its needs (Santos,
2017; Weiss, 2017). Moreover, the church emphasizes the fifth commandment of God
(Weiss, 2017).
Furthermore, being that Facebook is the most popular social media network (Hutt,
2017), it can influence majority of people (Jarrett, 2015) with different kinds of information
(Debatin, Lovejoy, Horn & Hughes, 2009; Nadkarni & Hofmann, 2012). However, news
depiction in social media seems to be problematic because of fake news (Pamintuan, 2017),
Sympathy towards victim cases of Extrajudicial Killings PAGE 5
social bots (Ferrara, Varol, Davis, Menczer & Flammini, 2016), and biased content creators
(Blank, 2013).
This study will redound to the welfare of the society considering talks about news and
media; thus, this study aims to determine if the news about extrajudicial killings in
Facebook are effective, understandable, convincing, and efficient (Witschge, Fenton &
Freedman, 2010; Lule, 2001; Schudson, 1989). Therefore, the study will benefit the
following:
Academe: The findings of this study will help the students, teachers, and academic
Journalists: The journalists and news publishing companies will have ideas and data
on how news about EJK or crime can be effective and convincing (Federico, 2017).
Citizens of the Philippines: The citizens will be informed through the issues of news
and extrajudicial killings so that they could be vigilant and aware about the issue
(Appadurai, 2006).
Future Researchers: The results of this study will serve as facts, basis and
background for researchers that aims to study similar topics with this research
(Keller & Lehmann, 2006; Brown & Eisenhardt, 1995; Marsh, 1987).

In our modern age, millennials tend to share or repost what they saw on Facebook
without looking in-depth about the post in hand (Shao, Ciampaglia, Varol, Flammini, &
Menzer, 2017; Karnowski, Kümpel, Leonhard, & Leiner, 2017; Moghavennemi, Sharabati,
Paramanthan, & Rahin, 2017; Asghar, 2015; Shahjahan & Christy, 2014). Furthermore, news
about EJK tend to make people prosocial (Yao & Yu, 2016; Holloway, Tucker & Hornstein,
1977; Hornstein, LaKind, Frankel & Manne, 1975) and terrified (Silove, Nickerson, & Bryant,
2016; Kimmerle & Obafunwa, 2014). Consequently, the following question will be
What makes the students feel sympathy when viewing victim cases of EJK in
Facebook?
sympathy upon knowing victim cases about EJK on Facebook. Likewise, it seeks to examine
the aforementioned prosocial behavior and how they are depicted by the students (Prot,
Gentile, Anderson, Suzuki, Swing, Lim… & Liau, 2014). Furthermore, the aspects that were
looked into are Philippine context of EJK, news about victim cases of EJK depiction is social
Moreover, the study is bounded to the bygone and inconsistent descriptions and
definitions of EJK for it might be an ephemeral issue in the Philippines and the prevalence
of blind and blank spots about this study (Romero, 2017; Romero, 2017; Tupas, 2017).
Sympathy towards victim cases of Extrajudicial Killings PAGE 7
Thus, the answer of the respondents may be inconsistent and inaccurate. Additionally, the
study does not involve news on other social media networks, other modes of media, other
types of posts about EJK, fake news, social bot posts, and other court cases in relation to
EJK.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1Theoretical Framework
Shaw (1993). The mentioned theory states that the agenda which is presented in the
media, traditionally or electronically, shapes the public agenda; thus, influencing the
behavior and opinion of the public while considering communitarian ethics (McCombs &
Shaw, 1993).
The study will utilize the aforementioned theory to determine if the students
adapted or cultivated sympathy (Galen, 2012; Todd, 2012; Gervais & Norenzayan, 2012)
when viewing news about extrajudicial killings in Facebook while considering religious

& Oritsedere, 2012; Moore, 2012; Alston, 2010; Englehart, 2009), promotes violence
(Holden, 2012; Englehart, 2009; Dursun, 2009), and mostly caused by police brutality
(Zoettl, 2017; Stapele, 2016; Osuyi & Oritsedere, 2012; Waldron, 2012; Alston, 2010).
Nevertheless, EJK also has positive effects for it is a form of risk management
(Kamruzzaman, Khan, and Das, 2016; Kessler, and Werner, 2008). It also avoids long trail
process, (Shrawat, 2017; Kamruzzaman, Khan, and Das, 2016) and jail overcrowding
Facebook is one of the many social networks that most of the users are teenagers
called millennials (Kim, Giurcana, & Fernandez, 2017; Herring &Kapidzic, 2015) who shared
different forms of content (Hur, Kim, & Karape, 2017; Cionea, Piercy, & Carpenter, 2017;
Karnowski, Kümpel, Leonhard, & Leiner, 2017; Moghavennemi, Sharabati, Paramanthan, &
Rahin, 2017; Asghar, 2015; Shahjahan & Christy, 2014), produce and reproduce political
content (Kim, Giurcana, & Fernandez, 2017), spread news that may or may not be validated
(Choi, Lee, & Metzgar, 2017; Shao, Ciampaglia, Varol, Flammini, &Menczer, 2017; Lee &
Ma, 2012), appealing and engaging (Kümpel, Karnowski, &Keyling, 2015; Marchi, 2012),
Paramanathan, & Rahin, 2017; Hong, Cheng, & Li, 2017 Rousseau, Eggermont, & Frison
2017 Muller, Schneiders, & Schafer, 2016), and tend to not search for any further
information about a specific news or social content (Karnowski, Kümpel, Leonhard, &
Leiner, 2017; Choi & Lee, 2015; Lee & Ma, 2012).
Sympathy towards victim cases of Extrajudicial Killings PAGE 10
Furthermore, Facebook posts that receive more likes tends to validate the post to
be true (Zell & Moeller, 2018; Hong, Cheng, and Li, 2017; Koroleva & Kane; 2017; Kim &
Yang 2017; Gosling, Augustine, Vazire, Holtzman, & Gaddis, 2011) even if these news tend
to be more of a gossip than a factual information (Shao, Ciampaglia, Varol, & Menczer,
2017; Fu, Wu, & Cho, 2017; Debatin, Lovejoy, Horn, & Hughes, 2009). Lastly, social bots are
forms of artificial intelligence (A.I.) that can generate content from different sources of the
internet (Ferrara, Varol, Davis, Menczer, & Flammini, 2016 Giles, 2011) and can be a key
factor of spreading of news with political and social content on Facebook (Shao,
2.4 Religion
Religion is one of the factors that influence control and regulate oneself
(McCullough & Willoughby, 2009; Koole, McCullough, Kuhl & Roelofsma, 2009) and others
in conforming (Razmyar & Reeve, 2013; Rounding, Lee, Jacobson & Ji, 2012; Hommel &
Colzato, 2010) to moral virtues (Morgan, 2015; Desmond & Kraus, 2014; Hardy, Walker,
Rackham & Olsen, 2012; Kerley, 2009), prosocial behaviors (Galen, 2012; Preston, Ritter &
Hernandez, 2010; Todd & Rufa, 2012; Todd, 2012; Gervais & Norenzayan, 2012; Malka,
Soto, Cohen & Miller, 2011; Driskell, Embry & Lyon, 2008), and intolerance to unlawful acts
(Piazza & Sousa, 2014; Jankowski, Johnson, Damron & Smischney, 2011; Giordano,
Longmore, Schroeder & Seffrin, 2008) through social media and networking (Hjarvard,
However, there are negative effects of religion such as inducing death anxiety (Vail,
Rothschild, Weise, Solomon, Pyszczynski & Greenberg, 2010; Dezutter, Luyckx & Hutsebaut,
Sympathy towards victim cases of Extrajudicial Killings PAGE 11
2009; Dezutter, Soenens, Luyckx, Bruyneel, Vansteenkiste, Duriez & Hutsebaut, 2008), and
2.5 Culture
Culture influences people’s behavior and mindset from their beliefs (Cao, 2016;
Polavieja, 2015; Cornelio, 2014; Oyserman & Lee, 2014; Fulmer 2010; Oyserman, Sorensen,
Reber & Chen, 2009), social life satisfaction (Mahan, 2015; Seo, 2015; Jordan, 2015 & Funk,
Conway & Dalgleish, 2014; Humphries & Jobson, 2012), and helps determine one’s
perspective (Kitayama & Uskul, 2011; Markus &Kitayama, 2010; Wu & Keysar, 2007),
explores the role of cultural intelligence and its effect on emotional intelligence (Chen,
2017), and affects the previous and on-going developments in socio-legal thought (Saguy &
Stuart, 2008; Visser, 2008). Moreover, culture in the Philippines is greatly shaped by
religion (Baustista, 2010; Bautista, 2009) and events in the current local and international
environment (Inman, Kishi, Wilkenfeld, Gelfand & Salmon, 2014; Bercovitch & Foulkes,
(Khruakham & Lee, 2014; Woon, 2011; Eadie, 2011). It induces death anxiety and lower
