EMPOWERMENT
The term empowerment refers to measures designed to increase the degree of autonomy and self-
determination in people and in communities in order to enable them to represent their interests in a
responsible and self-determined way, acting on their own authority. It is the process of becoming
stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights. Empowerment
as action refers both to the process of self-empowerment and to professional support of people, which
enables them to overcome their sense of powerlessness and lack of influence, and to recognize and use
their resources. To do work with power.

The term empowerment originates from American community psychology and is associated[by whom?] with
the social scientist Julian Rappaport (1981).[1] However, the roots of empowerment theory extend
further into history and are linked to Marxist sociological theory. These sociological ideas have
continued to be developed and refined through Neo-Marxist Theory (also known as Critical Theory).[2]

In the sphere of management and organizational theory, "empowerment" often refers loosely to
processes for giving subordinates (or workers generally) greater discretion and resources: distributing
control in order to better serve both customers and the interests of employing organizations.

One account of the history of workplace empowerment in the United States recalls the clash of
management styles in railroad construction in the American West in the mid-19th century, where
"traditional" hierarchical East-Coast models of control encountered individualistic pioneer workers,
strongly supplemented by methods of efficiency-oriented "worker responsibility" brought to the scene
by Chinese laborers. In this case, empowerment at the level of work teams or brigades achieved a
notable (but short-lived) demonstrated superiority. See the views of Robert L. Webb.

Since the 1980s and 1990s, empowerment has become a point of interest in management concepts and
business administration. In this context, empowerment involves approaches that promise greater
participation and integration to the employee in order to cope with their tasks as independently as
possible and responsibly can. A strength-based approach known as "empowerment circle" has become
an instrument of organizational development. Multidisciplinary empowerment teams aim for the
development of quality circles to improve the organizational culture, strengthening the motivation and
the skills of employees. The target of subjective job satisfaction of employees is pursued through flat
hierarchies, participation in decisions, opening of creative effort, a positive, appreciative team culture,
self-evaluation, taking responsibility (for results), more self-determination and constant further learning.
The optimal use of existing potential and abilities can supposedly be better reached by satisfied and
active workers. Here, knowledge management contributes significantly to implement employee
participation as a guiding principle, for example through the creation of communities of practice.[25]

However, it is important to ensure that the individual employee has the skills to meet their allocated
responsibilities and that the company's structure sets up the right incentives for employees to reward
their taking responsibilities. Otherwise there is a danger of being overwhelmed or even becoming
lethargic

TECHNOLOGY
Technology ("science of craft", from Greek τέχνη, techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand"; and -λογία, -
logia[2]) is the collection of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production
of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation. Technology
can be the knowledge of techniques, processes, and the like, or it can be embedded in machines to
allow for operation without detailed knowledge of their workings. Systems (e. g. machines) applying
technology by taking an input, changing it according to the system's use, and then producing
an outcome are referred to as technology systems or technological systems.

The simplest form of technology is the development and use of basic tools. The prehistoric discovery
of how to control fire and the later Neolithic Revolution increased the available sources of food, and the
invention of the wheel helped humans to travel in and control their environment. Developments in
historic times, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet, have lessened physical
barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale.

Technology has many effects. It has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global
economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted
by-products known as pollution and deplete natural resources to the detriment of Earth's environment.
Innovations have always influenced the values of a society and raised new questions of the ethics of
technology. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, and the
challenges of bioethics.

Philosophical debates have arisen over the use of technology, with disagreements over whether
technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and
similar reactionary movements criticize the pervasiveness of technology, arguing that it harms the
environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-
progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition.

ROLES OF ICT IN THE RECENT HISTORY
The People Power Revolution (also known as the EDSA Revolution, the Philippine Revolution of
1986, EDSA 1986, EDSA I and EDSA People Power) was a series of popular demonstrations in
the Philippines, mostly in the capital city of Manila from February 22–25, 1986. There was a sustained
campaign of civil resistance against regime violence and alleged electoral fraud. The nonviolent
revolution led to the departure of dictator Ferdinand Marcos, the end of his 21-year presidential rule,
and the restoration of democracy in the Philippines.[4]

It is also referred to as the Yellow Revolution due to the presence of yellow ribbons during
demonstrations following the assassination of Filipino senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.[4] in August
1983. It was widely seen as a victory of the people against two decades of presidential rule by President
Marcos, and made news headlines as "the revolution that surprised the world".[5]

The majority of the demonstrations took place on a long stretch of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, more
commonly known by its acronym EDSA, in Metro Manila from February 22–25, 1986. They involved over
two million Filipino civilians, as well as several political and military groups, and religious groups led
by Cardinal Jaime Sin, the Archbishop of Manila, along with Catholic Bishops' Conference of the
Philippines President Cardinal Ricardo Vidal, the Archbishop of Cebu. The protests, fueled by the
resistance and opposition from years of governance by President Marcos and his cronies, culminated
with the absolute rule and his family fleeing Malacañang Palace to exile in Hawaii. Ninoy Aquino's
widow, Corazon Aquino, was immediately installed as the eleventh President as a result of the
revolution.[6]

President Ferdinand E. Marcos was elected president in 1965, defeating incumbent President Diosdado
Macapagal by a margin of 52 to 43 percent. During this time, Marcos was very active in the initiation of
public works projects and the intensification of tax collections. Marcos and his government claimed that
they "built more roads than all his predecessors combined, and more schools than any previous
administration".[7] Amidst charges from the opposition party of vote buying and a fraudulent election,
President Marcos was reelected in the Philippine presidential election, 1969, this time defeating Sergio
Osmeña, Jr. by 61 to 39 percent.

President Marcos' second term for the presidency was marred by allegations by the opposition Liberal
Party of widespread graft and corruption. According to leftists who rioted during the First Quarter
Storm, the increasing disparity of wealth between the very wealthy and the very poor that made up the
majority of the Philippines' population led to a rise in crime and civil unrest around the country. These
factors, including the formation of the New People's Army and a bloody Muslim separatist movement in
the southern island of Mindanao led by the Moro National Liberation Front, contributed to the rapid rise
of civil discontent and unrest in the country.

The Second EDSA Revolution (EDSA II or EDSA Dos) was a four-day political protest from January 17–20,
2001 that peacefully overthrew the government of Joseph Estrada, the thirteenth President of the
Philippines. Estrada was succeeded by his Vice-President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who was sworn into
office by then-Chief Justice Hilario Davide, Jr. at around noon on January 20, 2001, several hours before
Estrada fled Malacañang Palace. EDSA is an acronym derived from Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, the
major thoroughfare connecting five cities in Metro Manila,
namely Pasay, Makati, Mandaluyong, Quezon City, and Caloocan, with the revolution's epicentre at
the EDSA Shrine church at the northern tip of Ortigas Center, a business district.

Advocates described EDSA II as "popular" but critics view the uprising as a conspiracy among political
and business elites, military top brass and Catholic Cardinal Jaime Sin.[2] International reaction to the
revolt was mixed, with some foreign nations including the United States immediately recognising the
legitimacy of Arroyo's presidency, and foreign commentators describing it as "a defeat for due process
of law", "mob rule", and a "de facto coup".[3]

The only means of legitimizing the event was the last-minute Supreme Court ruling that "the welfare of
the people is the supreme law."[4] But by then, the Armed Forces of the Philippines had already
withdrawn support for the president, which some analysts called unconstitutional, and most foreign
political analysts agreeing with this assessment. William Overholt, a Hong Kong-based political
economist said that "It is either being called mob rule or mob rule as a cover for a well-planned coup, ...
but either way, it's not democracy."[3] It should also be noted that opinion was divided during EDSA II
about whether Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the incumbent Vice President should be President if Joseph
Estrada was ousted; many groups who participated in EDSA II expressly stated that they did not want
Arroyo for president either, and some of them would later participate in EDSA III. The prevailing
Constitution of the Philippines calls for the Vice President of the Philippines, Arroyo at the time, to act as
interim president only when the sitting President dies, resigns, or becomes incapacitated, none of which
occurred during EDSA II.

Deposed president: Joseph Estrada

Incoming president: Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

On October 4, 2000, Ilocos Sur Governor Luis "Chavit" Singson, a longtime friend of President Joseph
Estrada, went public with accusations that Estrada, his family and friends received millions of pesos from
operations of the illegal numbers game, jueteng.[5]

The exposé immediately ignited reactions of rage. The next day, Senate Minority Leader Teofisto
Guingona, Jr. delivered a fiery privilege speech accusing Estrada of receiving P220 million in jueteng
money from Governor Singson from November 1998 to August 2000, as well as taking P70 million
on excise tax on cigarettes intended for Ilocos Sur. The privilege speech was referred by Senate
President Franklin Drilon, to the Blue Ribbon Committee and the Committee on Justice for joint
investigation. Another committee in the House of Representatives decided to investigate the exposé,
while other house members spearheaded a move to impeach the president.[5]

More calls for resignation came from Manila Cardinal Archbishop Jaime Sin, the Catholic Bishops
Conference of the Philippines, former Presidents Corazon Aquino and Fidel Ramos, and Vice
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (who had resigned her cabinet position of Secretary of
the Department of Social Welfare and Development). Cardinal Sin stated in a statement "In the light of
the scandals that besmirched the image of presidency, in the last two years, we stand by our conviction
that he has lost the moral authority to govern."[6]More resignations came from Estrada's cabinet and
economic advisers, and other members of congress defected from his ruling party.[5]

On November 13, 2000, the House of Representatives led by Speaker Manuel Villar transmitted the
Articles of Impeachment, signed by 115 representatives, to the Senate. This caused shakeups in the
leadership of both houses of congress.[5] The impeachment trial was formally opened on November 20,
with twenty-one senators taking their oaths as judges, and Supreme Court Chief Justice Hilario Davide,
Jr. presiding. The trial began on December 7.[5]

The day-to-day trial was covered on live Philippine television and received the highest viewing rating at
the time.[5] Among the highlights of the trial was the testimony of Clarissa Ocampo, senior vice president
of Equitable PCI Bank, who testified that she was one foot away from Estrada when he signed the name
"Jose Velarde" documents involving a P500 million investment agreement with their bank in February
2000.[5]
MANILA - When Super Typhoon Haiyan struck in 2013 it was the disaster-prone Philippines' worst storm
on record, with 7,350 people dead or missing.

Several factors caused the staggering death toll:

STRONGEST STORM

With gusts exceeding 305 kilometers (190 miles) per hour at first landfall, Haiyan was the strongest ever
to hit land at the time. Typhoons more commonly reach peak velocity while still travelling over oceans.

The powerful front drove a giant wall of seawater called a storm surge, estimated to be 7.5 meters (24.6
feet) high, into coastal towns like Tacloban, a city of 240,000 people.

Overall, Haiyan tore across a group of islands with a combined area the size of Portugal.

LOW-LYING ISLANDS

The Philippines is the first major landmass on the Pacific Ocean's typhoon belt. A wall of mountains on
the coast of the main island of Luzon dampens some of the blows, but the smaller, flatter islands -- such
as those that lay in Haiyan's path -- are more exposed.

Much of Tacloban sits less than 5 meters above sea level. The town and others nearby were defenseless
against the storm surge that funneled through a shallow bay sandwiched between Leyte and Samar
islands.

INADEQUATE WARNINGS

Even though the hardest-hit areas received early warnings, the weather service and other officials later
admitted that the victims were unfamiliar with the term "storm surge".

The last deadly storm surge in Tacloban had hit in 1887, more than a century before Haiyan. In a country
with scores of regional languages, the government also did not have local terms to be able to
communicate the phenomenon to everyone.

After the disaster, the government agency worked with linguists to craft simpler meteorological terms
to ensure the danger posed by typhoons, floods, landslides and other adverse events would be fully
understood by all.

EXTREME POVERTY

In a nation where one in 5 people earn less than two dollars a day, the people in Haiyan's path stood out
for their deep poverty. Many of the victims built their homes on the islands' narrow coastal plains and
lived off subsistence fishing and farming.

Haiyan destroyed or damaged 1.14 million houses, many of them made of cheap, flimsy materials that
stood no chance against nature's wrath.

FAILURE TO EVACUATE

The national government, through a geohazard mapping program begun in 2006, had flagged most of
the areas that were prone to the impacts of natural disasters.
However, local governments failed to evacuate many of the vulnerable population away from the
danger zones, partly because they did not fully appreciate the threat and partly because they had not
built enough shelters.

In the town of Hernani on Samar island, where Haiyan made the first of many landfalls, several families
were wiped out by a storm surge when they left their flimsy shacks to ride out the storm at a low-lying
school built along the coast, neighbors told A

The so-called Million People March at Luneta was the first of a series of protests in
the Philippines calling for the total abolition of the Pork Barrel fund, triggered by public anger over
the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam. Initial calls circulated through social media (mainly
on Facebook and Twitter) to convene a protest on August 26, 2013 at Luneta Park in Manila as well as
other cities nationwide and overseas. Some media commentators consider this as the first ever massive
rally in the Philippines called and organised mostly through social media channels. The so-called "Pork
Barrel Scam" was first exposed in the Philippine Daily Inquirer on July 12, 2013,[12] with the six-part
exposé of the Inquirer on the scam pointing to businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles as the scam's
mastermind after Benhur K. Luy, her second cousin and former personal assistant, was rescued by
agents of the National Bureau of Investigation on March 22, 2013, four months after he was detained by
Napoles at her unit at the Pacific Plaza Towers in Fort Bonifacio.[13] Initially centering on Napoles'
involvement in the 2004 Fertilizer Fund scam. After Napoles turned to Malacanang for help regarding
the supposed harassment by members of the NBI in April 2013, the whistleblowers and their lawyer
presented affidavits stating that Napoles' company "had defrauded the government of billions of pesos
in ghost projects involving the creation of at least 20 bogus nongovernment organizations."[14]

The government investigation on Luy's testimony has since expanded to cover Napoles' involvement in a
wider scam involving the misuse of PDAF funds from 2003 to 2013. 8 of the 82 questionable NGOs are
linked to Napoles with the filing of complaints for 74 others currently pending. "As more and more
records—even from recent years—are examined, it appears that the misuse of pork did not stop in
2009. And while the congressional pork barrel already puts at least 25 billion a year in the hands of
lawmakers, the fact is there are hundreds of billions worth of special and regular funds disbursed and
possibly misused year after year".[15]

It is estimated that the Government of the Philippines was defrauded of some ₱10 billion from 2007-
2009 (with the investigation requested to continue to cover the first few years under the Aquino
administration)[12] with a sizeable amount reportedly having been diverted to Napoles, participating
members of Congress and other Government officials. Aside from the PDAF and the fertilizer fund
maintained by the Department of Agriculture, around ₱900 million in royalties earned from
the Malampaya gas fieldwere also lost to the scam.[16] The scam has provoked public outrage, with calls
being made on the Internet for popular protests to demand the abolition of the Pork Barrel Fund,[17] and
the order for Napoles' arrest sparking ser
