TOPIC ICT as Platform for Change

SCOPE ICT as Medium for Advocacy and Development Communication

The Role of ICT in Recent History

     Throughout recent history, the Philippines have been one of a few nations that demonstrate unity for a call to action or social
change. These campaigns for social change would have not been successful if it were not for ICT.
1. EDSA (PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION). The people power revolution lasted from 1083 to 1986. During a
radio broadcast of Radio Veritas, Cardinal Sin encouraged the Filipinos to help end the regime of then President
Ferdinand Marcos. A major protest took place along the EDSA from February 22 to 25, 1986 involving two million
Filipinos from different sectors. These included civilians, political parties, the military and religious groups.
2. EDSA DOS. This is also known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution, happened during January 17 to 21, 2001. It was
fueled after 11 prosecutors of the 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. 
3. Million People March. This is a series pf protest that mainly took place in Luneta Park from august 22 to 26, 2013.
There were also several demonstrations that happened around key cities in the Philippines and some location
overseas. The organizers and promoters of the Million People March used Facebook and Change.org as their,
mediums.
4. Yolanda People Finder. Recent storms in Philippines 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.
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 it. During the past times petitions are only done through signing a paper, usually done by a group asking for
signatures via travel. Change.org gives access to more people by allowing the online community to affix their digital signatures on
petition.
Signing an Online Petition
1. VisitChange.org
2. Change.org works this way. If this is your first time to use Change.org, click Sign up or log in with Facebook.
Otherwise, just input your log in details.
3. You can then start your own petition, but for now click on any petition you want under tending petitions.
4. Read the petitions description to see if this petition matters to you. If it is, sign the petition by filling up the
information on the right side of the screen.
5. Share the petition on Facebook to promote it.
     Alternatively, you can check out petitions of your friends on Facebook, and then click on those petitions to read about it and sign
it.
 ICT Project for Social Change
