ACTIVITY 9.2: A Look into the Past

1. The “Million People March” is all about the Priority Assistance Development Fund (PDAF) or
most widely known as “pork barrel fund”. The aim of this strong objection of many Filipinos
around the world is to stop or scrap the graft-tainted pork barrel fund by several senators
whose putting their pet development projects funds into their pockets.
ERNAN GEL B. GUEVARRA Media and Information Literacy
G11 – MOLAVE Q4 Module 4

2. Friends, Arnold Pedrigal, Peachy Bretana, and Bernardo Bernardo, created a Facebook event
page to gather people who wanted the PDAF scrapped. They said they wanted a "massive
pocket picnic" and to bring one million people at the Luneta Park on August 26.
Astonishingly, the #MillionPeopleMarch surfaced by August 18 and immediately dominated
Twitter.

This hashtag, together with #PDAFKalampag and #ScrapPork, flooded Twitter and FB feeds
with over 140,000 social media mentions as of 8PM of August 26. Many Filipinos expressed
their anger through creating blogs, pages, advertisements and even memes to show that
they agree to the idea of stopping the Pork Barrel Fund.

3. The role of media played in the conception and actualization of the Million People March
was the instant fast spreading of the entire information to the citizen of the Philippines
online. Using different social media platforms like Twitter and FB, the hashtags, together
with #PDAFKalampag and #ScrapPork, flooded Twitter and FB feeds with over 140,000 social
media mentions as of 8PM of August 26. Many Filipinos expressed their anger through
creating blogs, pages, advertisements and even memes to show that they agree to the idea
of stopping the Pork Barrel Fund.

4. Although the movement originally called to bring in a million people to march against the
graft-tainted pork barrel fund, YES, it has still been deemed a success as the online campaign
was actualized with 80,000-100,000 people at Luneta according to the police. This number
included professionals, students, workers, priests, nuns and even civic and showbiz
personalities. The movement was even emulated on a smaller-scale in other cities across the
country and in various cities around the world where there are concentrations of Filipinos.

5. All I can recommend to the mass media-assisted campaigns such as the Million People
March when it comes to its making for much betterment is that, make it more solid and has
impact to the users (people) in delivering information so as to give an informative and
awareness to the people around the world using different social media platforms.

ACTIVITY 9.4: Cartoon Analysis

1. Based on my thorough analysis about the cartoon, it implies to us how powerful politics can
influence the media. The worst thing and the hurtful truth is that, political pressure on
media neglect the ultimate TRUTH about a certain thing or issue which will eventually mask
the naked eye of citizens to the reality happening in our country.

2. Possibly yes. As we can observed in our country’s situations and issues nowadays, we can
really say that what was the cartoon depicting really happens in our political system with
respect to the media.

3. I must say that it is a challenge. Since the depicted cartoon tend to mask the truth, people
who uses media as their medium of information should really scrutinize whether the news is
true or not.

Opportunities
 Media helped me to boost my self-
confidence especially that I am a little
bit well-known in TikTok. I was and I am
able to share good vibes and
entertained my followers with my
different content.
 Media taught me to be lowkey in any
situation which allowed me to inspire
numerous of my followers and to the
new followers in my account.
 Media helped me with my little financial
problems. When it comes to
sponsorships. Numerous of kind-
hearted people ought to give
merchandises and even small money as
they (my followers on TikTok) whole-
heartedly offered it without any
hesitations.
 Through media, people who like to
make me as their guest singer in an
event always contacting me on my other
social media account. My Facebook
account.
 Media gave an opportunity to me when
it comes to my studies. Some of the
essential learnings and tutorial can be
seen through videos and in written
forms posted in social media platforms.
This information greatly helped me to
overcome the hardships I encountered
whenever I answer my modules.
Somewhat, social media platforms gave
me hint as to how it will do, that way,
and like that, so on and so forth.

Challenges
 The biggest challenge media can give
to user especially to me, is the
legitimacy of any information posted
in different platforms. By using the
information from unknown sources
and/or not copyrighted information
may lead to huge mistakes and errors
a student or a person may do.
 Media to me is toxic sometimes. Every
time I open my social media accounts,
some fresh starter displayed in my
timeline somewhat gives me stress.
One best citation I could give was the
first outbreak of corona virus flashed
on TV screen and on social media
platforms. It really gave me the total
stress because of the panic triggered
inside me.
 Media gives me a mask figuratively
whenever I saw information on
different platforms. As human as we
are, we tend to get puzzled as to how
many percent is the accuracy of the
issue or information flashed on our
screen.
 The worst media can offer, not only to
me but also to the others is the giving
of false information with respect to
what was the reality.

How social media changed the world

By: Jeff Castillo - @inquirerdotnet Philippine Daily Inquirer /
12:06 AM March 27, 2017

When Mark Zuckerberg set about developing the first Facebook prototype, he intended it initially to
connect only a couple of students on his campus.

A little over a decade later, this social media app has reached and connected more than 1.8 billion
monthly users all over the world, transcending geographical, social, cultural, and religious barriers.

Today, Facebook has emerged as a tool that has brought a total difference to how people
communicate, share thoughts, promote their views and opinions, and even influence their
respective communities.

These last few years, however, people have also seen how Facebook and other social media
platforms propagate troubling issues, which pose threats to the security of the users, especially
when interactions become less personal as these platforms evolve.

People who are socially awkward or shy suddenly feel empowered. It is also becoming more
apparent that social skills have changed. People have become less able to cope with interpersonal
interactions because they can conveniently hide behind their profiles.

There is also the problem of “oversharing.”

Many Facebook users tend to share too much information about themselves, their families, their
habits, and their lives without realizing that they are exposing themselves to potential cybercrimes.

For instance, Facebook users who overshare are at risk of identity theft.

According to the latest report of the Philippine National Police- AntiCybercrime Group (PNP-ACG),
this is the third in the top cybercrime cases filed with them last year with 288 cases as compared to
101 cases in 2015 and only 61 in 2014.

Cyber criminals may steal users’ information through social engineering. They create fake accounts
and establish trust with their possible victims over time. Once it is built, they will ask them to divulge
information like banking details and passwords, and commit crimes against them.

Cyber criminals may also ask Facebook users to click on links that might infect their computers with
malware. URLs can be manipulated to make it hard to identify whether it links to a legitimate or
malicious site.
ERNAN GEL B. GUEVARRA Media and Information Literacy
G11 – MOLAVE Q4 Module 4

The principle social media users should bear in mind is that any information they post online should
no longer be considered private. They need to be mindful about their status updates, and avoid
revealing their whereabouts.

For instance, potential burglars may break into their homes if they know they are away in Europe for
an extended holiday. Making public their daily routines, and revealing their children’s names,
schools and birth dates may also put their family in harm’s way.

While Facebook and other social media applications continue to strengthen their measures to
ensure cyber security, users must always remember that they are in the driver’s seat; they are in
control. As we become more and more connected, the opportunity for people to make nefarious
moves against us also increases. It is always wise to exercise caution where Facebook and social
media is concerned. Users must exercise restraint and common sense.

Like other tools that have emerged before it, Facebook has changed the world for the better by
connecting people and effecting social changes, but it can also be used against the very people it is
supposed to serve. –CONTRIBUTED

SUMMARY OF NEWS ARTICLE

The news article talks about the starting point of the well-known social app everyone used
every day, the Facebook. It started as a prototype app intended initially to connect only a couple of
students on the campus. When Mark Zuckerberg set about developing the first Facebook prototype,
he did not expect it to be like this as of today.

A little over a decade later, this social media app has reached and connected more than 1.8
billion monthly users all over the world. As the app became popular, it outdistances the
geographical, social, cultural, and religious barriers.

Today, as different social platforms become very popular all over the world, the negative
effects social media apps brought to humankind are dreadful. First is, people seen Facebook and
other social media platforms as a tool to propagate troubling issues, which pose threats to the
security of other users, especially when interactions become less personal as these platforms
evolved. Second, the oversharing of information in social media platforms are undeniable fact that
everyone usually do. In this manner, cybercrimes became unbounded. Another one is the so-called
“identity thief’ type of cybercrime which many Facebook users tend to share too much information
about themselves, their families, their habits, and their lives without realizing that they are exposing
themselves to potential cybercrimes.

GUIDE QUESTIONS:

1. What media is important or instrumental in the course of event?

 The most important media that we can use in the course of any event is our social
media accounts. By this, we tend to communicate far away from any person we
wanted to talk with.

2. Why do you think the identified media was instrumental or very important in this event?
ERNAN GEL B. GUEVARRA Media and Information Literacy
G11 – MOLAVE Q4 Module 4

 These are very important because nowadays, calls and text is no longer needed.
Most likely, people are influenced by media. They’re already using Facebook or
messenger as means of communication in any situation.

3. Was the outcome a positive or a negative change? Explain your answer.

 I can say that it both gives a positive and negative outcome. Positive, in the sense of
it gives us the hassle-free communication to someone whose far from us. Also, social
media gives us an update to every issue happening in our country regardless of our
presence within the location where news happened. On the other hand, it gives
negative outcome to every user because of the online attackers that might steal
someone’s identity and use it for crimes online. Also, the spirit of closeness from
one another, especially with your family and friends becomes less.

What’s New

Activity 10.1: Identify Technology

1. SMARTGLASSES/GOOGLE GLASS
 Help you see things more clearly.
 Smart glasses can link up with your phone, control the volume of your music, and
even take photographs.
 Google Glass brings wireless connectivity and imaging into the frames and lenses of
our eyewear, controls that we can only usually do on our smartphones and
computers. So instead of a keyboard or mouse, you can control smart glasses by
tapping or swiping control built into the frame or even verbalizing your commands
as you do with Alexa and Siri.

2. SMARTWATCH/FITNESS TRACKERS AND SPORT WATCHES

ERNAN GEL B. GUEVARRA Media and Information Literacy
G11 – MOLAVE Q4 Module 4

 Smartwatches are wrist-worn devices that connect to your mobile phone. As they
are synced to your smartphone, it allows you to see notifications on your wrist at a
glance.
 Eases the burden of having to constantly open and check your smartphone text
messages, e-mails, or other notifications.
 It can even track your physical activity. Whether for formal training or just trying to
be active and fit, fitness trackers and sports watch help you get a better
understanding of your fitness activities.

3. VR HEADSET
 VR or Virtual Reality headsets are devices connected to a PC/games console and
show you a computer-generated virtual reality that fools you sight and your brain
into thinking you are in a different scenario.
 Today, many industries and fields are using and developing more innovations of
these wearable techs, especially in the health care industry, where they’re looking
into devices that could be used to monitor things like blood pressure, vital signs, or
blood sugar levels for diabetics.

4. HEARABLE
 Hearables work just like the traditional earphones and headphones but are already
wireless and are worn in the ear.
 The most popular example is Apple’s Air Pods, those true wireless earphones that
offer quick access to the Siri voice assistant. However, these hearables aren’t only
for music or entertainment, but some are actually used as smart hearing aids.

ACTIVITY 10.2: Question and Answer

1. What is the impact of MOOC in information access?

 MOOC represents an open-access, asynchronous, Web-based courses geared
toward enrolling hundreds or thousands of students at a time. MOOCs can deliver
content via recorded video lectures, online readings, and online assessments, as well
as various degrees of student-student and student-instructor interaction.

2. Can MOOCs replace the traditional mode of information and knowledge delivery? Expound
your answer.
 I personally believe that MOOCs cannot replace traditional mode of information and
knowledge delivery. However, MOOCs can offer supporting content that will
definitely enhance and strengthen the education experience in traditional mode of
information and knowledge delivery.

3. Are MOOCs potentially harmful to copyright? Why or why not?

ERNAN GEL B. GUEVARRA Media and Information Literacy
G11 – MOLAVE Q4 Module 4

 In my opinion, MOOCs are not harmful to copyright. MOOCs are not mutually
exclusive ideas and MOOCs still remains as an experiment.

Activity 10.3: Question and Answer

1. How has wearable technology revolutionized the way people access information?
 Wearable technology benefits people on accessing information through media in a
much faster and convenient manner.

2. How does a 3D environment affect the audience’s media experience?

 3D environment gives the audience or the users a more engaging and enjoyable
media experience because the images and videos are in three-dimensional
rendering – meaning as if it is we are looking at something real.

3. How does ubiquitous learning (u-learning) impact the traditional mode of learning?
 Through U-learning, learning takes place at anytime, anywhere, and with anyone. It
benefits from technologies that incorporate learning materials such as videos,
audios, PowerPoint presentations, or notes with embedded source data in them. U-
learning maximizes the use of any form of media like mobile phones and computers
for efficient use.

What I Can Do

Essay: Tech Then and Now

Chosen current media and information technology: Mobile phones

According to my mom and dad, mobile phones on their days were just considered as basic
devices. The mobile phones' memory in the early days of my mom and dad were limited to just
storing numbers and messages. The physical look of the mobile phones back then was quite thick
and they were in keypad format. Apps were also limited on the mobile phones in my mom and dad's
generation. My mom and dad said that they were addicted on the snake mobile game in their
mobile phones in their early days. They also said that Nokia was the very famous brand of mobile
phone back in their days.

In this generation which is my generation, I can say that mobile phone truly upgraded
massively. It is very far from the mobile phone dating back on my mom and dad's days. It is now
considered as smartphones due to the many options and function it can carry out. Instead of having
a keypad look, smartphones are innovated into a touch screen function. Smartphones has converged
camera, flashlight, calendar, television, music player, and more into a single device. It contains a lot
of apps that offers connection to the whole world, essential information, and entertainment that is
very essential to many people. It has been a device that many people cannot live without now.
