ICT in the recent history of Philippines?

(From-JUST NERD THOUGHTS)

History of the Philippines has been one of the few countries shown unity and democracy for social change. These advocacy for social change would have not been possible without the role of ICT.

1. EDSA (People Power Revolution) The People Power Revolution lasted from 1983 to 1986. During a radio broadcast of Radyo Veritas, Cardinal Sin encouraged the Filipinos to help end the regime of then President Ferdinand Marcos. A major protest took place along EDSA from February 22 to 25, 1986 involving two million Filipinos from different regions and sectors. These include civilians, political parties, the military and religious groups. The radio broadcast helped to change the course of history. Without it, Filipinos would not have been moved into action.

2. EDSA II. This was also known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution which happened during January 17 to 21, 2001. It was fueled after 11 prosecutors of thenPresident Joseph Estrada walked out in the impeachment trial. As a result, the crowd in EDSA grew over the course of few days through text brigades.

Like the first People Power Revolution, Edsa Dos would not have been successful without the text brigades.

3. Million People March. This was a series of protest that mainly took place in Luneta Park from August 22 to 26, 2013. There were also several demonstrations that happened in key cities in the Philippines and some locations overseas. It condemned the misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). Though dubbed as the Million People March, the number of total attendees was only around 400,000. Despite that, it was still considered a success as it clearly demonstrated how powerful social media campaigns are. The organizers and promoters of the Million People March used Facebook and Change.org as their media.

4. Yolanda People Finder. Recent storms in the Philippine history gave birth to the people finder database powered by Google. During typhoon Yolanda, the people finder was a vital tool for people across the globe to track the situation of their relatives. This proved to be successful and is now adapted by more organizations to help people track relatives during calamities.

Platform for placing petitions or change advocacy

Change.org
