Understand the importance
of ICT as platform for change
Understand the events that
ICT helped realize
Use prior ICT knowledge in
planning a campaign
Does the
Philippines we
know today
become what she
is without ICT?
Guess the Pic!
 For a moment, imagine the
internet has disappeared and
will never be back. What do you
think will happen? List down
your thoughts and share them in
class.
 Throughout recent history, the
Philippines has been one of a few
nations that demonstrates unity for
a call to action or social change.
These campaigns for social change
would have not been successful if it
were not for ICT.
EDSA (People Power Revolution)
The People Power Revolution lasted from 1983 to
1986. during a radio broadcast of Radyo Veritas,
Cardinal Sin encouraged the Filipinos to help end
the regime of then President Ferdinand Marcos. A
major protest took place along EDSA from
February 22-25, 1986 involving two million
Filipinos from different sectors. These include
civilians, political parties, the military and
religious groups. The radio broadcast helped
changed the course of History.
Without it, Filipinos
would not have been
moved into action.
EDSA Dos
This is known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution,
happened during January 17 to 21, 2001. It
was fuelled after 11 prosecutors of then
President Joseph Estrada walked out of the
impeachment trial. As a result, the crowd in
EDSA grew over the course of a few days
through text brigades. Like the first PEOPLE
POWER REVOLUTION, EDSA Dos would not have
been successful without the text brigades.
Million People March
A series of protests that mainly took place
in Luneta Park from August 22 to 26,
2013. it was to condemn the misuse of
The Priority Development Assistance Fund
(PDAF). Though dubbed as the Million
People March, the number of total
attendees was only around 400,000.
 Despite that, it was still
considered a success and clearly
demonstrated how powerful
social media campaigns are.
Facebook and Change.org are
their mediums.
Yolanda Finder
Recent storms in Philippine history
gave birth to the people finder
database powered by Google. During
typhoon Yolanda, the People Finder
was a vital tool for people across the
globe to track the situation of their
relatives.
 This proved to be
successful and now is
adapted by more
organizations to help
people track relatives
during calamities.
Change.org
 Change.org is dubbed as the “world’s
platform for change” where anyone from
the online community can create a petition
an ask others to sign it.
 Change.org gives access to more people by
allowing the online community to affix
their digital signature on a petition.
 Change.org’smission is to help people from
around the world create the change they
want to see.
