Social Media
According to TechTarget network, as
posted by Margaret Rouse) is a
collective term for website applications
which focus on community-based
input, communication, interaction,
content-sharing and collaboration.
As of today, social media was
known to be the most powerful
platform to use if you want to
generate instant and massive
public reactions to whatever
concerns or issue that you have.
However, in using Social Media as a
platform for advocacy, one should also
realize that following protocols and
computer etiquettes should be observed at
all time
Netiquette thus describes the rules
of conduct for respectful and
appropriate communication on the
internet. Netiquette is often referred
to as etiquette for the internet. These
are not legally binding rules, but
recommended rules of etiquette.

ICT in the recent history of Philippines
(From-JUST NERD THOUGHTS)
History of the Philippines has been one of the few

countries shown unity and democracy for social
change. These advocacy for social change would have
not been possible without the role of ICT.
1. EDSA (People Power Revolution)
The People Power Revolution lasted from 1983 to 1986. During a radio
broadcast of Radio 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
to 25, 1986 involving two million Filipinos from different
regions and sectors. These include civilians, political
parties, the military and religious groups. The radio
broadcast helped to change the course of history. Without
it, Filipinos would not have been moved into action.
The People Power Revolution, also known as the
EDSA Revolution or the February Revolution, was
a series of popular demonstrations in the
Philippines, mostly in Metro Manila, from February
22 to 25, 1986. There was a sustained campaign of
civil resistance against regime violence and
electoral fraud. Wikipedia
2. EDSA II.
This was also known as the 2001 EDSA Revolution which

happened during January 17 to 21, 2001. It was fueled
after 11 prosecutors of then President Joseph Estrada
walked out in the impeachment trial. As a result, the
crowd in EDSA grew over the course of few days through
text brigades. Like the first People Power Revolution,
Edsa Dos would not have been successful without the text
brigades.
3. Million People March.
This was a series of protest that
mainly took place in Luneta Park
from August 22 to 26, 2013. There
were also several demonstrations
that happened in key cities in the
Philippines and some locations
overseas.
It condemned 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 as it clearly demonstrated how
powerful social media campaigns are.
The organizers and promoters of the
Million People March used Facebook
4. Yolanda People Finder.
Recent storms in the 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 is now adapted
by more organizations to help people track relatives during
Yolanda Odette
