Hello! My name is Rayne Julianne C. Ninte, and I am a second-year Bachelor of Science in Psychology (BSPSY) student at Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao. One of my favorite ways to relax is cooking, as it helps me de-stress and express creativity in the kitchen. Among my favorite Filipino dishes, I particularly love pork adobo, which offer a comforting and flavorful experience. For entertainment, I enjoy watching TikTok content about local makeup brands. I appreciate how these brands provide affordable yet high-quality products, making beauty more accessible. When it comes to movies, I have a strong preference for romantic comedies (rom-coms) and psychological thrillers. I enjoy the lighthearted, feel-good nature of rom-coms, while psychological thrillers keep me engaged with their intense and thought-provoking narratives.

The integration of e-commerce on social platforms has revolutionized how Filipinos buy and sell products, making online shopping more accessible, interactive, and personalized. Platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Instagram Shops, and TikTok Shop allow businesses and individual sellers to showcase products in real-time, making it easier for customers to discover and purchase items without leaving their favorite social media apps. For example, TikTok Shop's live selling has become a major trend, with influencers and small business owners hosting interactive sessions where they demonstrate products, answer questions, and offer exclusive discounts. I have personally experienced this trend as I have been selling on Facebook Marketplace, where I can easily connect with potential buyers, negotiate prices, and arrange transactions without the need for a physical store. This fusion of entertainment and e-commerce has made online shopping more engaging and efficient, catering to the fast-paced digital lifestyle of Filipino consumers.

Food

One of the most well-liked and well-known foods in the Philippines is adobong baboy, which is renowned for its delicious, savory, and somewhat sour flavor. It is a fragrant and tender dish that goes well with rice and is made by cooking pork in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Because vinegar is a natural preservative, its simplicity, adaptability, and long shelf life contribute to its popularity. Many Filipino households have their own variants, occasionally enhancing the flavor with hard-boiled eggs, coconut milk, or potatoes. Adobong baboy reminds me of family get-togethers and the comforting warmth of home-cooked meals, which is why I like it. It's more than simply cuisine; it's a taste of love and culture that comes through in every bite.

His humor, mannerisms, and the way he portrays everyday Filipino experiences, especially those familiar to people from Davao resonates with me. His comedic skits and witty takes on local culture often reflect situations I’ve encountered myself, making them feel both authentic and hilarious. The way he mixes Bisaya, Tagalog, and English in his dialogues adds a unique charm that makes his videos even more engaging. Watching his content never fails to make me laugh, providing me with a fun escape from stress.

I love Kathryn Bernardo’s point of view about love and relationships because of her mature, realistic, and heartfelt perspective. She often emphasizes the importance of self-love, mutual respect, and personal growth in a relationship, highlighting that love should be built on trust, understanding, and open communication. Her views reflect a deep awareness that relationships are not just about romance but also about supporting each other’s dreams and individuality. She believes that true love should empower, not limit, and that both partners should continue to grow together while maintaining their sense of self. Her wisdom and sincerity make her an inspiration to many, especially young people navigating love and relationships.

Social e-commerce duplicates the core characteristics of the Uses and Gratifications Theory which shows how individuals choose media for achieving personal and social needs. People in the Philippines use Facebook Marketplace and Instagram Shops as well as TikTok Shop to conduct purchases among various social activities and potential financial gains. A TikTok live selling session combines shopping with entertainment as sellers use interactive and fun approaches to interact with their audience. More shoppers take part in the "budol" phenomenon because influencers present budget-friendly trends to their followers while generating intense product interest. These platforms enable small business owners running from home-based operations to reach more people without spending traditional business operation funds. The platform offers convenient and affordable service while Filipinos appreciate sharing recommendations about their experiences through social networks.
