Divide the class into 2 groups
and then let them identify
the picture presented and
find the correct answer on
the cards provided.
The People Power Revolution
lasted from 1983nto 1986. During a
radio broadcast of the Radyo
Veritas, Cardinal Sin encouraged
the Filipinos to help end the
regime of the President Ferdinand
Marcos. A major protest took place
along EDSA from February 22 to 25,
1986 involving two million Filipinos
from different sectors. These
included civillians, political
parties, the military and religious
groups. The radio broadcast
helped change the course of
history. Without it, Filipinos would
not have been moved into action.
This is also known as the
2001 EDSA Revolution,
happened during January 17
to 21, 2001. It was fueled
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.
This is a series of protests that
mainly took place in Luneta Park
from August 22 to 26, 2013. There
were also several demonstrations
that happened around key cities in
the Philippines and some locations
overseas. It was condemned the
misuse of the 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. The
organizers and promoters of the
Million People March used
Facebook and Change.org as their
mediums.
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 is now adapted
by more organizations to help
people track relatives during
calamities.
Group the students into 3
groups. Each group will be
given specific tasks to
portray in order to show
their understanding on the
importance of the role of
ICT for social change.

Group 1 – Role Play

Group 2 – Poem
Group 3 – Yell
