• First: water and steam power in production
• Second: electric power
• Third: electronics and information technology
• Fourth: (4IR) digital revolution, the robots era
 categorized by a variety of new technologies that are
fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds,

the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

2. What will be the impact of the fourth industrial

revolution to the Philippine society?

fourth industrial revolution.

spearheading the annual observance of the DPRM as
mandated by Proclamation 247 issued by Malacañang in
2002
• direct productive discussions and create a consensus toward a
people-centered Philippine strategy to prepare Filipinos
ahead of inevitable disruptions brought about by rapid
technological innovation and deployment
• Education is the main foundation (Sikka, 2017)
• K-12 and TESDA Programs
 RRL:Impact of the Fourth Industrial

 RRL:
Humanitarian Sector on Fourth Industrial
Revolution

• 4IR is a challenge for the humanitarian sector

• the gap between returns to capital and returns to labor
might worsen
• unemployment rate would have drastic increase
Adopting innovative technology to lessen the effects of
conflict on areas like education
building new public-private alliances
helping affected communities become more resilient and
improve livelihoods (Weidman-Grunewald, 2017)
• multi-stakeholder dialogues (Benioff, 2017)
 Conclusion
• How does the Philippines prepare to deal with the Fourth
Industrial Revolution?
 Education is the main foundation- K-12 and TESDA
programs
 PIDS, are still in the process of observing and analyzing
strategies on how to deal with the 4IR
• What will be the impact of the fourth industrial revolution
to the Philippine society?
 Easier and faster production
 Bridge geography
 Academe
 Medicine
 Industry and economy
 Government
 Conclusion
• How will the humanitarian sector respond to the fourth
industrial revolution to communities affected by this
phenomenon?
 4IR could yield greater inequality, particularly in its potential
to disrupt labor markets (Brynjolfsson & Andrew McAfee, 2016)
 it is still in the hands of human if they will allow the
technologies to do their job or them with the help of the
technology
 multi-stakeholder dialogues or conversation in order to make a
good plan on how they could avoid human’s unemployment
 improve their skill levels to keep up with the change.
 Significance of the Study
