    This document discusses the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in facilitating social change in the Philippines through four key examples: 1) The 1986 People Power Revolution where radio broadcasts encouraged protest against President Marcos; 2) The 2001 EDSA Revolution fueled by text messaging; 3) The 2013 Million People March organized using Facebook and online petitions; and 4) Google's People Finder database that helped locate people after Typhoon Yolanda. It also explains how the online petition platform Change.org has enabled widespread participation in campaigns for social change.
