What is It

Advocacy – is a way of expressing views, opinions, concerns information access and on establishing to all one’s rights and responsibilities through any possible means or ways.

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.

Moreover, you should also understand and appreciate how ICT influence the history specifically its significant contribution to what we are enjoying today.

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 Radyo 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.
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 and Change.org as their media.
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 calamities.

Platform for placing petitions or change advocacy

Change.org

Change.org is 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 were only done through signing a paper, usually done by a group asking for signatures via travelling door-to-door. Change.org gives access to more people by allowing the online community to affix their digital signatures on a petition.
