APPENDIX A: INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTS
PARTICIPANT: A
Q. What comes into your mind when you hear the word "Online Movements?"
A. Online movements for social protests done through the internet, especially in social media
platforms. Though, they are not limited to these platforms as some movements may have
particular websites solely dedicated for information on these movements and participatory
actions.
Q. Why are you an online activist?
A. With all the risks and restrictions of going out, most things have become much more
convenient to do online. Activism however, isn't necessarily one of those things. But this doesn't
mean putting it aside just because the real fight is on the streets. When I started to become
more open minded about the injustices our country faces, the only way I could actually see
myself helping was to learn about these issues and speak out online. So I took that opportunity
and have been taking every opportunity I can to maximize what I have and what I can do to help.
Q. What do you think are the importance of Online Movements?
A. From my own experiences, online movements are a way to educate the people on social and
political issues, especially now that what most people do is just stay online. As most people may
also have more freedom to express themselves on the internet, online movements can pave
way for more people to voice out their opinions on these issues.
Q. What is your driving force in engagong to Online Movements?
A. To be frank, I have days when I don't feel like preoccupying myself with organizational work.
Days when I take what I have for granted. But at the end of the day, what I try to keep in mind is
why I joined my organization in the first place, that there are people who don't have the luxury of
having something to be taken for granted. The people, the masses, who need our help
throughout our society of the seemingly unending injustices that we are confronted with.
Q. What are the Online Movements you participated in (BLM, Me Too Movement, etc.) and
why did you participated in such movement
A. The Online Movements I have participated in are "Junk Terror Bill and Law, Rise for
Education, Free all political prisoners, and Stand for Foreigners and Defend UP among others."
The issues regarding this movements pertain to the injustices of our country that neither
inhumane nor torelable. As these are done through social media, these issues need all the
attention they can get. And I know that the smallest hub of exposure I give by sharing posts and
speaking out will help someone become more informed and aware of these matters as it has
helped me.
Q. What do you think will be your greatest achievement in egaging in online movements?
A. There is only so much you can do with online activism. Like I said, the real fight is on the
streets. But to the extent of my capabilities, I can help educate more people about social
injustices and situations through online movements. That way, more people can be encouraged
to stand and fight for these movements.
Q. What are the impacts of Online Movements to you as a student?
A. My eyes were openned to things that have happened and is happening outside the comfort
of my own bubble as a person of my social class. I have become more open minded to learn
and unlearn my beliefs and habits that do not benefit anyone but myself. And most definitely, I
have become more critical about the things that are taught to me in school and everywhere else.
Q. What are the effects of Online Movements in the way you socialize or interact with
others?
A. I have become more sensitive and compassionate about other people and their situations. I
have also tried to the best of my abilities to educate my friends about what I learned as an
activist.
Q. How does online movement affect your way of expression?
A.I used to be very neutral and quiet about social issues. I started to become more politically
active on social media.Though, I was able to slowly push myself towards this change in my
perception of things and not force myself to join protest and movement without proper
knowledge of what they are and what they stand for.

PARTICIPANT: C
C. The only thing that comes into my mind whenever I hear the word online movement is that, it
is an online protest or an internet activism where in a lot of individuals unite and spread
information using different social media platforms or websites in order to educate, spread
awareness and alarm the public especially the government to at least hear them out, think for
what is the best and make an action or a potential solution to the specific problem or the issue
that people shout about.
C. I am an online activist for now since this pandemic we can go out and the only things that we
can do is to engage or join an online movement through online itself through the internet to still
make a change or to still help for those who needs help.
C. I think the importance of online movements are first, it allows the public or the people in a
community to voice out their concerns, their problems and the issues that need to be heard by
the government or the authorities and second is that, online movement is another way for us to
make a change.
C. It is because of the help that I am able to do even in this young age since ever since I was a
kid I’ve encountered a lot of in justices and an unfair challenges and issues. And now, I want to
make a change. I want to help the others– the people that leaves help devices that needs to be
heard so I’ve decided to join in online movement so that I could still help.
C. The online movement I've participated in are the BLM or the Black Lives Matter movement
and the #SaveSierraMadreNoToKaliwaDam. The reason why I participated in such online
movement was [because] this issues can cause or caused a really big impact to the society
particularly to the people who were involved to the issue like the black people being
discriminated by those racist monsters of the society. They need to be treated equally and
mostly to be treated as a human being they do not deserve to be treated like an animal or a
trash in this world especially if they didn't to anything bad or hurt someone, they have rights
and they deserve a real justice too. And also in Kaliwa Dam, this project violates the legal
processes and the Philippine Constitution and its very destructive to the Environment and it is
also against the country’s national interest.
C. I think the greatest achievement for me in engaging into this online movement is the
contribution itself that I did for change or to help the people especially here in our country. Being
such a contributor or one of those who help the ones who needs help is really a great
achievement for me.
C. Online movement has a negative and positive impact to me as a students, it is good since
through online movement we can spread a lot of information or educate the other people about
the specific issue that needs to be solved and it helps to express our thoughts and ideas about
the issues occurring in our country. [However] It has a bad impact to me as a student because i
make use a lot of pressure and sometimes I feel like I’m kind of scared since somebody can
hate or “bash” me about my thoughts about that specific issue.
others?
C. The effects of online movements in the way I socialize with others because of joining or
engaging with different people online is that, I may be more confident or give me knowledge
about a particular problem and because of online movement, I learned how to approach and to
communicate with other people properly and nicely without being rude.
C. Online movement affected my way of expressions by making me more real while expressing
my thoughts and ideas everytime I communicate with the different people or it made me more
confident and consistent about the information or the expressions that I’m telling and showing
and also it enhances my focusing skills and because of that, I didn't easily distracted.
