Abstract

The purpose of this sentiment analysis study was to explore the Face Threatening Acts (FTAs) on the sentiments of Filipino netizens regarding the resumption of the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation of the Philippine government's drug war. This study employed qualitative design, specifically corpus linguistics and sentiment analysis. The findings revealed that most of the FTAs found in the sentiments of Filipino netizens are threats to the positive face and negative face of the hearer. The sentiments on the proposal to resume the ICC investigation of the Philippine drug war can be clustered into three essential themes or categories- attitude, call to action, and credibility. Additionally, the majority of the participants- Filipino netizens are negative towards the proposal to continue the investigation on the Philippine Government's war on drugs. Finally, the findings revealed that Filipino netizens employ various face-threatening acts in expressing their sentiments and opposition to the ICC probe on the Philippine drug war, thereby highlighting the intricate interplay of politeness theory in shaping public sentiment on this contentious issue.

Abstract

This study analyzed the sentiments of 100 Facebook comments on excise tax using Orange Software. Using the word cloud feature, the top 10 are chosen from the list of frequently used words with at least fifteen instances in the hundred Facebook comments. In the sentiment analysis, the Facebook comments were analyzed as positive, negative, or neutral. Based on the results, 52% of the comments showed positive sentiment, 41% displayed negative sentiment, and 7% expressed neutrality on the issue. In the qualitative analysis of the sentiments, two positive sentiments were extracted, which are: excise tax aids the operations of the government and excise tax subsidizes the transport and business sector. For the negative sentiments, three themes were extracted: excise tax suspension addresses inflation, the government has no concern for its citizens, and leaders are ineffective and corrupt. Positive sentiments demonstrate public support for the excise tax. It is considered essential for government revenues, and suspending it could have significant economic consequences. However, negative sentiments stem from concerns about inflation, distrust in leadership, and perceptions of corruption within the government.
