    ICT as a Platform
    for Change
    z

    For a moment, imagine the Internet has disappeared


    and will never be back. What do you think will
    happen?
    z
    The Role of ICT in Recent History

     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 22-25, 1986 involving two million
    Filipinos from different sectors. These include civilians, political
    parties, the military, and religious groups. The radio broadcast
    helped change the course of history. Without it, Filipinos would not
    have been moved into action.
    z

     EDSA Dos. This is also known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution,


    happened during January 17-21, 2001. It was fueled after 11
    prosecutors of then President Joseph Estrada walked out of the
    impeachment trial. As a result, the crowd in EDSA grew over the
    course of a few days through text brigades. Like the first People
    Power Revolution, Edsa Dos would not been successful without
    the text brigades.
    z

     Million People March. This is a series of protests that mainly took


    place in Luneta Park from August 22-26, 2013. There were also
    several demonstrations that happened around key cities in the
    Philippines and some locations overseas. It was to condemn 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 and clearly demonstrated how powerful
    social media campaigns are. The organizers and promoters of the
    Million People March used Facebook and Changed,org as their
    mediums.
    z

     Yolanda People Finder. Recent storms in Philippine history gave


    birth to the People Finder database powered by Google. During
    typhoon Yolanda, the People Finder was a vital tool 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.
    z
    Change.org
    Change.org is dubbed as the “world’s platform for change” where
    anyone from the online community can create a petition and ask others to
    sign in. During the past times, petitions are only done through signing a
    paper, usually done by a group asking for signatures via travel.
    Change.org give access to more people by allowing the online community
    to affix their digital signature on a petition.
    Change.org mission is to help people around the world create the
    change they want to see. For years, Change.org hosted several petitions
    that help solve the following problems: economic problems, criminal
    injustice, abuse of human rights, lack of education, environmental
    concerns, animal abuse, human health concerns, and world hunger.
