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.

Abstract

This study aimed to unravel the relationship between error correction strategies and writing competency of students. There were 120 Humanities and Social Sciences senior high school students from three different schools in Davao City who were chosen as respondents using a purposive sampling technique. The students were asked to write a 10-sentence essay, 60 of which were corrected using Selective Direct Feedback and the other half with Selective Indirect Feedback. The researcher sought help from interraters who used a 5-point rubric in checking three areas of grammar: subject-verb agreement, tenses, and connectives. Three statistical tools were used: Mean Scores, T-test for dependent samples, and T-test for independent samples. Results revealed that before the use of the two strategies in the first set of output there were several errors in the written outputs, In the second set, after the use of the Selective Direct Feedback and Selective Indirect Feedback, there were fewer errors found in the essay. However, the reductions in errors were not significantly different between the two feedback methods.
