MY VIEWPOINT IN PEOPLE POWER

REVOLUTION(1ST PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY)

For a moment, everything seemed possible. From February 22 to 25, 1986,
hundreds of thousands of Filipinos gathered on Epifanio de Los Santos Avenue to
protest President Ferdinand Marcos and his claim that he had won re-election over
Corazon Aquino.

Soon, Marcos and his family were forced to abdicate power and leave the
Philippines. Many were optimistic that the Philippines, finally rid of the dictator,
would adopt policies to address the economic and social inequalities that had only
increased under Marcos’s twenty-year rule. This People Power Revolution
surprised and inspired anti-authoritarian activists around the world.

Ferdinand Marcos had been president of the Philippines since 1965. After
declaring martial law in 1972, he suspended and eventually rewrote the Philippine
constitution, curtailed civil liberties, and concentrated power in the executive
branch and among his closest allies. Marcos had tens of thousands of opponents
arrested and thousands tortured, killed, or disappeared.
A second major factor is the linkage between people power maximizes the
potential for involving almost and the goal of multi-party democracy.
PERSONAL THOUGHTS (2ND PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY)
Poverty and inequality have been recurrent
challenges in the Philippines and have again
come to the fore in the wake of the current
global financial crisis and rising food, fuel, and
commodity prices experienced in 2008. The
proportion of households living below the official
poverty line has declined very slowly and unevenly
in the past four decades, and poverty reduction has
been much slower than in neighboring countries
such as the People’s Republic of China (PRC),
Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. The growth
of the economy has been characterized by boom
and bust cycles and current episodes of moderate
economic expansion have had limited impact on
poverty reduction. Other reasons for the relatively
moderate poverty decline include the high rate
of inequality across income brackets, regions, and
sectors; and unmanaged population growth.
This study aims to provide a comprehensive
analysis of the causes of poverty in the Philippines
and give recommendations for accelerating poverty
reduction through sustained and more inclusive
growth.

GENDER BIASES
No country has yet achieved full gender equality and women across the world
continue to suffer from discrimination and unequal rights and opportunities.

The situation is worst in countries where harmful patriarchal traditions, including

child marriage and female genital mutilation, remain the norm. Globally, one in
four girls does not attend secondary school and one in five girls is married before
her 18th birthday. Child marriage robs girls of a bright future and brings a high risk
of death and injury related to pregnancy and childbirth. In most developing
countries, a woman's ability to determine the number and spacing of her children is
limited or non-existent.

Even in many high-income countries, women often get paid less than men for the
same jobs, face gender-based discrimination and violence, and suffer from
mysoginistic attitudes and sexist policies that restrict their autonomy over their
own bodies.
POLITICS OF RECOGNITION
The politics of the Philippines take place within a three-branch governmental
system. The country is a democracy, led by a directly elected president who serves
as both the head of state and the head of government. The president heads the
executive branch, and has significant political powers. Presidents are limited to a
single six-year term of office. The bicameral Congress serves as the legislature,
consisting of the small Senate, elected on an at-large basis throughout the country,
and the larger House of Representatives, primarily made up of representatives
elected from specific geographic regions. Body with expansive powers of review
over actions taken by other political and administrative bodies.

TECHNO IN THE FUTURE(4RTH PORTFOLIO

ACTIVITY)
50 years, internet use will be nearly as pervasive and necessary as oxygen.
Seamless connectivity will be the norm, and it may be impossible to unplug. From
amazing advancements to dystopian developments, experts imagine a wide array of
possible scenarios for the wo How has technology changed in the last 50 years?
The changes in technology over the last 50 years have been amazing, for example:
TV went color, phones went mobile, computers shrank from needing an air-
conditioned room to the laptops we have today ,guitars went electric, pianos
became electronic keyboards, post became email, cars have changed so much
( better braking ...rld 50 years in the future.
Over the years, how we communicate has evolved immensely. Today, many of our
inventions are focused on creating faster ways of communicating with each other,
and in the process, we're creating more data than humans can comprehend. Now, a
new tool, artificial intelligence, is emerging at the nexus of all this.
ANECDOTES(5TH PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY)
POSITIVE EFFECTS:
ICT provides quick access to affordable, and better means of communication in the
form of Instant Messaging, and VoIP phone. It brings exciting ways to indulge in
entertainment, leisure, build contacts, make relations, and procure services, and
goods from suppliers.
It improves the effectiveness of education. It aids literacy movements. It enhances
scope of education by facilitating mobile learning and inclusive education. It
facilitates research and scholarly communication.

NEGATIVE EFFECTS:
It promotes change to education in 21st century. ICT not only transforms teaching
but also the learning processes. The transformation gets to increase learning gains
for students that provide learners an opportunity to develop creativity,
communication skills, and other thinking skills.
Individuals can improve their task performance by using information and
communications technology (ICT). However, individuals who use ICT may also
suffer from negative outcomes, such as burnout and anxiety, which lead to poorer
performance and well-being.
IMPACT OF ICT TODAY(6TH PORTFOLIO ACTIVITY)
What have you realized about the ict?
- have realized that ICT has a big role in my life because it can improve the quality
of human life because it can be used as a learning and education media, the mass
communication media in promoting and campaigning practical and important
issues, such as the health and social area.
What is the impact of using ict in the workforce/employment?
- The main reason ICTs are used in the workplace is that they allow humans to do
their work faster, more efficiently and with fewer wasted resources. Companies no
longer need staff to handle physical mail as email is faster and more effective than
an employee sorting through post and delivering it to the correct people.
What is the impact of using ict in our daily routine?
- There appears to be a general consensus that both teachers and students feel ICT
use greatly contributes to student motivation for learning. (Not surprisingly)
INVENTOR ON THE MAKING(7TH POTFOLIO
ACTIVITY)
Cooling beds and pillows in warm nights:
A cooling pillow prevents heat retention and provides a cool or temperature neutral
sleep surface. This type of pillow is constructed to draw heat away from the body
and increase airflow to prevent heat retention. The materials used in the pillow
cover are often moisture-wicking and breathable.
Students who use a computer at home also use them in school more frequently and
with more confidence than pupils who have no home access.
What is the impact using ICT tools in producing and consuming
goods?
According to some authors [8–15], ICT can influence economic growth through
several significant channels, namely: the production of goods and services within
the ICT sector directly contributes to the creation of value-added goods and
services in the economy
