New Publication: A Multilingual Collection of Facebook Comments on the Moro Identity and Armed Conflict in the Southern Philippines

Abstract:

This dataset is a collection of 12,478 social media comments found on the official Facebook pages of ten Philippine newspapers spanning the years 2015, 2017 and 2019. The comments contain terms related to the Moro identity and armed conflict in the southern Philippines. They allow researchers to study semantic fields, attitudes towards minorities, and the relationship between the texts and other variables in the dataset, such as the source newspaper, its region of origin, and political administration.
