I learned about the importance of ICT as a platform.
Through ICT, the first EDSA revolution happened, where Radio Veritas, a radio station facility, that helped broadcast from Bulacan province the plea of Catholic Church officials for people to gather on Edsa in February 1986 and protect a group of military officials and soldiers who chose to stand against strongman Ferdinand Marcos.
During the EDSA Dos, ICT played an important role by the use of mobile technologies. Text barigades were used to call for an end to the Estrada government.
The Million People March, which was a series of protests regarding the Pork Barrel Scam with around 400,000 people, was known for having millions of supporters around Facebook, and through Change.org, a platform that creates petitions.
When Typhoon Yolanda hit Visayas, Google launched Yolanda Person Finder, a website that is used to search for missing people. It was used to track missing people who were washed away from the super typhoon.
