The Role Of ICT on Million People March

 Million people march was the first of an ongoing series of protests in the Philippines calling for the total abolition of the Pork Barrel fund, triggered by public anger over the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam through social medias such as Facebook and Twitter. Many Filipinos expressed their thoughts,feeling, anger through creating blogs,pages,advertisement and even memes to show that they agree to the idea of stopping the Pork Barrel scam.

 In that case, a Facebook event was entitled"Million People March to Luneta August 26: Sa Araw Ng Mga Bayani, protesta ng mga bayani", using the power of the social media to invite the people to join the protest for the pork barrel fund mess to be stopped. Another is a group of people called hacktivist or the PrivateX repaired at least 30 government websites early or August hours before the main protests.

ICT has almost become the platform of change because the protest is mostly organised through social media channels. Through this millennial tool, Filipinos once again showed their love for their country and for the people who work hard fir this living. As time goes by, social media will always to be a part of our great history because no matter what the situation is, Filipino are still fighting for what is right.

 

THE ROLE OF ICT ON EDSA DOS

The EDSA Revolution of 2001, also called by the local media as EDSA II (pronounced as Edsa dos) or the Second People Power Revolution, is the common name of the four-day popular revolution that peacefully overthrew Philippine President Joseph Estrada in January 2001. He was succeeded by his then vice president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
On January 17,2001,the impeachment trial of President Estrada moved to the investigation.

Technology has played a crucial role in EDSA (people power revolution) the mobile phone served as the symbol of People Power II Evolution in the Philippines. Also, the most lasting image of Ms. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s new presidency has, was when she was asked in a news conference, if Lt. Gen. Espinosa was planing a coup, and not knowing the answer, she directly called him using her mobile phone. After the brief conversation they had, she knew that Lt. Gen Espinosa isn’t planning a coupThe adaption of different technologies, particulary internet and mobile phones is staggering. At the same time, the technologies continue to upgrage. This continuous advances are spreading widely, making it possible to share informations and organize political action easily..

 The use of mobile phones for texting rather than calling was intriguing at that time. It akso served as the reason of People Power II evolution’s success. But even if technology played a crucial role at that time, people haven’t drawn a lot of attention to it. People Power II was arguably the world’s first EDSA-Revolution’s change of government, brought by new form of ICTs (Information and Communications Technology).Modern ICTs facilitated and helped in ensuring that our country, the Philippines was the first location of political revolution. In the week of People Power II itself, there were 70 million text messages handled by Philippine Mobile. It was then reported by Reuters that technology is literally putting the power in Filipino peoples’ hand. .
