Rabby LAVILLES,Mia Amor TINAM-ISAN,Erik Louwe SALA Asian Center for Women's Studies : Ewha Womans Uni 2023 Asian Journal of Women's Studies(AJWS) Vol.29 No.1
Entrepreneurs utilize social media to market their products, create value, innovate, and reach their customers. However, recent literature reviews emphasize the need for further investigating the role of social media in small businesses or individual owners. This study explores the enabling empowerment of women pursuing small businesses using social media platforms in Southern Philippines. A thematic analysis, following the grounded theory approach, was conducted to derive themes that explain social media as an enabler of empowerment as experienced by individual women business owners or sellers. The themes indicate that social media enabled them to start or continue their own business and expand their market reach through family and close friends. Moreover, it became an avenue for expressing their autonomy and learning to use the features of social media in an innovative way to support their business.

This study determines how social media users (SMUs) verify the information they come across on the Internet. It determines SMUs’ perception of online fact-checking services in terms of their ease of use, usefulness, and trust. By conducting a focus group discussion and key informant interviews, themes were derived in determining fact-checking practices while a survey was further conducted to determine such perceived ease of use, usefulness, and trust in fact-checking services. The thematic analysis revealed major information verification practices, such as cross-checking and verifying with other sources, inspecting comments and reactions, and confirming from personal and social networks. The results showed that SMUs considered fact-checking services easy to use. However, a concern was raised about their usefulness stemming from the delayed action in addressing the information issues that need to be verified. As to perceived trust, it was found that SMUs have reservations about fact-checking services. Finally, it is believed that fact-checking services are expected to be credible and need to be promoted to mitigate any form of fake news, particularly on social media platforms.
