Duterte supporters fall for ‘gullible’ posts, online experiment finds


 (philstar.com) 

MANILA, Philippines — Amid the proliferation of fake news, an experiment revealed how supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte tend to react online.
 
In a now viral post, a certain Janjan Gonzales came up with a social media experiment involving supporters’ knee-jerk reaction to online contents highlighting the Duterte administration.
 
On his first experiment, Gonzales asked the staunch supporters of the president if they are “credulous to Duterte” to see if they would react differently.


Surprisingly, members of the group have agreed quite instantly without analyzing the meaning of credulous.
 
A screengrab of Gonzales’ post showed that almost all of the members have commented “yes” while others praised Duterte and the current status of the administration. 
 
Others, however, took the opportunity to criticize and blame the Liberal Party for what appears to be a “positive” result for them.
 
In a different post, Gonzales shared a 2017 impunity index infographic of Philstar.com, showing the Philippines on the top spot with 75.6 points.
