Lesson
ICT as Platform for
1 Change

What’s In

For many years, technology has unquestionably impacted the way we live and
enjoy life. ICT, as part of the broader concept of technology, has had a tremendous
impact on both developed and developing countries, such as the Philippines. This
simply goes to prove that investing in ICT gadgets such as smartphones, desktop
computers, and laptops has numerous advantages.

What’s New

As the silicon chip's reach spreads throughout practically everything we do—

from buying groceries online to finding a mate on a dating website—digital platforms
are recasting customer, worker, and employer interactions. Most people would say
that the Philippines is lagging behind in technical improvements as computing power
improves dramatically and more people across the world participate in the digital
economy, but it does not mean we have not taken advantage of what we have.

Activity 1:
1. Imagine that the world suddenly has an Internet shutdown and this will
take for several years. List down your thoughts and share them in the
class/online social group.

What is It

The Role of ICT in Social Change

1. The People Power Revolution-EDSA (1983-1986)

Without the radio broadcast, Filipinos would have not been into action
that helped change Philippine history.

The entire world applauded as the Filipino people joined together in

unity to oppose years of abuse of power and obvious corruption under the
government of Former President Ferdinand Marcos and his cronies. A large
demonstration involving two million Filipinos from all sectors took place along
EDSA from February 22 to 25, 1986, using the radio broadcast of Radyo
Veritas (civilians, political parties, military and religious group).

2. EDSA Dos – considered as the first E-Revolution and narrated as EDSA

Revolution of 2001, also called by the local media as EDSA II or the Second
People Power Revolution. A four-day political protest from January 17-20
2001 that peacefully end the administration of President Joseph Estrada.
Advocates describe EDSA II as popular but critics view the uprising as a
conspiracy among political and business elites, military top brass and
Catholic Cardinal Jaime Sin.

The failure of the impeachment process to oust former President Joseph

Estrada sparked text brigades. Propaganda concerning his bribery got widely
disseminated. The text brigade was the quickest and most cost-effective
manner of transmitting messages at the time. Estrada directed that key
government entities act in response to the suspected text messages. Without
mobile technology, the revolution would be doomed to fail.

3. Million People March – The Million People March, also known as the "Pork
Barrel Scam," was the Philippines' first ever on-going series of protests,
conducted at Luneta Park on August 26, 2013. Many Filipinos vented their
rage by producing blogs, websites, commercials, and even memes to voice
their support for the Pork Barrel Fund's abolition.

The Filipinos behind Power ng Pinoy, a popular television show in the

United States, launched a Facebook event page where hundreds of people
expressed their want to participate. The #MillionPeopleMarch became a
worldwide trend, and it was crucial to the success of the Philippines' first
social media protest.

4. Yolanda People Finder – The People Finder database, powered by Google,

was born as a result of recent storms in Philippine history. During Typhoon
Yolanda, the Individuals Finder was a critical tool for people all across the
world to trace their relatives' whereabouts. This proved to be a success, and
additional groups are now using it to help locate family in the event of a
disaster.

5. ICT Market in Philippines –. The Information & Communications Technology

(ICT) market in the Philippines is set to continue to grow in 2020 driven by
wider digital transformation initiatives taken by local enterprises and growing
customers’ needs despite COVID-19 crisis, according to Globaldata’s report,
“Enterprise ICT Investment Trends 2020 Philippines”.

"As IT's role shifts from operational support to business enabler, ICT
purchase today is heavily affected by outcome-based objectives," says Alfie
Amir, Principal Analyst at GlobalData. The top two motivations for ICT
investment in 2020 for Philippine businesses are enhancing operational
efficiency and increasing customer satisfaction.

Despite the major commercial impact of COVID-19, such as lower sales,

retrenchment, and extended operational support, the Philippines' overall ICT
spending remained steady. Prior to and after the COVID-19 issue, the majority
of businesses stated that they had the same budget for different technology
areas.

ICT as a Medium for Advocacy

Change.org is an open platform that allows individuals from all walks of life
to take action on the issues that matter to them. It is frequently referred to as the
"world's platform for change," as anyone in the online community may start a petition
and encourage others to sign it. Petitioning used to be done solely by signing a piece
of paper, which was usually done by a group seeking signatures by travel.
Change.org allows the internet community to add their digital signatures to a
petition, allowing more people to participate.

Change.org’s mission is to help people from around the world create the
change they want to see. For years, Change.org hosted several petitions that help
solve the following problems:
• economics problem
• criminal injustice
• abuse of human rights,
• lack of education
• environment concerns
• animal abuse
• human
• health concerns and
• world hunger
