Lesson
ICT as Platform for
3 Change
CHARGE UP
Digital platforms are recasting the relationships between customers, workers,

and employers as the silicon chip’s reach spread throughout almost everything we do
—from buying groceries online to finding a partner on a dating website. As computing
power improves dramatically and more and more people around the world participate
in the digital economy, most people would argue that Philippines are lagged behind
when it comes to technological advancements but that does not mean that we have not
used what we have to our benefit.
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.

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.
When the Filipino people came together in solidarity to protest the years
of abuse of power and blatant corruption under the regime of Former President
Ferdinand Marcos and his cronies, the whole world stood in applause. Using
the radio broadcast of Radyo Veritas, a major protest took place along EDSA
from February 22 to 25, 1986 involving two million Filipinos from different
sectors (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 collapse of impeachment to remove the former President, Joseph

Estrada was the start of text brigades. Propagandas about his corruption
became dispersed. Text brigade was the fastest and cheapest way of
relaying messages that time. Estrada ordered key government agencies to do
something about the alleged text messages. The revolution wouldn’t be
successful without mobile technology.
3. Million People March – The Million People March or famously known as

"Pork Barrel Scam" was the first ever on-going series of protest in the
Philippines held at Luneta Park on the 26th day of August 2013. 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.
The Filipinos behind Power ng Pinoy, a TV Program in United States,

created a Facebook event page were thousands signified their intent to join.
The #MillionPeopleMarch had trend worldwide and it is the key that the
Philippines' first social media protest is a success.
4. Yolanda People Finder – Recent storms in Philippine history gave birth to the
People finder database powered by Google. During Typhoon Yolanda, the
People Finder is a vital tool for people across the globe to track the situation
of their relatives. This proved to be successful and is now adapted by more
organizations to help track relatives during calamity.
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”.
Alfie Amir, Principal Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “As IT role is

moving from operational support to business enabler, ICT purchasing today
is significantly influenced by outcome-based objectives. Philippine enterprises
have identified improving operational efficiency and increasing customer
satisfaction as the top two drivers for their ICT investment in 2020.
Despite the significant business impact of COVID-19 such as declining

sales, retrenchment and longer operational support, the overall ICT spending
in the Philippines remained unchanged. The majority of enterprises indicated
the same budget across different technology areas pre and post COVID-19
crisis.
ICT as a Medium for Advocacy
Change.org is an open platform with room for a wide range of perspectives so

people everywhere can take action on the issues they care about. It is often dubbed
as the “world’s platform for change” where anyone from the online community can
create a petition and ask others to sign it. During the past times, petitions are only
done through signing a paper, usually done by a group asking for signatures via
travel. Change.org gives access to more people by allowing the online community to
affix their digital signatures on a petition.
