In brief, on April 11, 1969, Radio Veritas made its inaugural broadcast from its station in Quezon City. One of the historical events in which ICT is involved is the EDSA People Power Revolution, often known as the Bloodless Revolution. erupted as Filipinos demanded action to remove President Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorial Martial Law regime, which conducted life-threatening abuses and violated several human rights, from power. ICT was vital for the success of the EDSA People Power Revolution because it opened Filipinos’ eyes to the world outside of Ferdinand Marcos’ 20-year dictatorship and dictatorial rule.

The people in the Philippines utilizes social media when it comes to sharing and expressing their thoughts and opinions on a certain topic. It’s one of the most important tool in the social aspect of the WWW especially when it comes to sharing diversed information and processing information from other participants. Myself having this tool helped me be aware of what’s happening in the world from the past and present especially protesting because no matter what medium or form of communication you use to fight for what is right, protesting will always be present especially with what is happening with the Philippine government. Everyone helped each other and spread the details in order to reunite with each other to making a strong outrage at the burial site held by President Duterte for Ferdinand Marcos was held at Manila, but despite the harsh weather conditions and military forces involved the people stood their ground and raged on to get what they demanded. Protesters were chanting Marcos is not a hero especially those who are not present at the burial site, they posted a hashtag stating #MarcosNoHero. ICT made a huge impact for our community when it comes to the sociability aspect of the internet, making us feel comfortable letting our voices out and spread the good news with others.

In February 22 to 25 of 1986, millions of citizens in the Philippines gathered along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Metro Manila to protest against the Marcos regime under martial law. This nonviolent movement ended Ferdinand Marcos's 20-year dictatorship and restored democracy by installing Corazon Aquino as president.

ICT helped this movement in many ways during this revolution

For one, Radio Broadcasts played a key role via Cardinal Sin who urged the Filipinos to help in overthrowing President Ferdinand Marcos' administration during a radio broadcast of radyo Veritas. The sectors saw a significant protest. These consist of common people, political parties, the military, and religious organisations. The radio programme had an impact on how history will unfold. Filipinos would not have been motivated to take action without it.

The EDSA People Power Revolution, which took place from February 22–25, 1986 was a 3 day non violent mass demonstration against President Ferdinand Marcos's dictatorship. While the event is remembered for the unity and courage of the Filipino people, information and communication technology (ICT) also played an important role in spreading information and connecting people.

One of the most important forms of ICT during the revolution was Radio Broadcasting and Telephone Communication. Corazon Aquino needed Radio Veritas, a 24-hour AM radio station that is operated by the Roman Catholic Church, it was one of the important source used during the revolution, because it helped spread messages to filipinos and it also helped spread news and updates about the revolution.

While telephone communication helped Filipinos communicate during the revolution, whether information could be spread to one person to another, to families, friends, to keep them updated about what was happening during the revolution.

On August 26, 2013, thousands of Filipinos crowded Luneta Park in Manila for the Million People March, it was a protest against how the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) was being misused, you know that “pork barrel.” What made this day feel memorable wasn’t only the sheer amount of people who joined, but also the way technology seemed to help, sort of make everything easier. Before they actually went to Luneta, the call for the protest had already been moving around social media, especially on Facebook and Twitter.

ICT played a pretty huge role in spreading information about the protest, like it really helped move things along. Instead of depending only on television, newspapers, or word of mouth, Filipinos were able to share posts, announcements, and invitations online. A simple Facebook post ended up as a nationwide movement, encouraging people from different places to join in. Through social media, people could communicate at a faster pace, and it also helped turn an online discussion into something real, like an actual gathering of people out in the streets.

In 16 years ago, the Filipinos gathered at the historic thoroughfare EDSA, where freedom was once won against the dictator in 1986. It was known as it was a series of protests held from January 16 to 20, 2001, they are against to the former president Joseph Estrada who was then facing plunder charges. The protests triggered Estrada’s downfall and they paved the way for Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, his vice president, to enter the spotlight in the political scene. But Arroyo would later face her own share of troubles during her administration. Both former presidents seemed to follow the same track in politics: they were both vice presidents before assuming the highest seat of the land, and both have been accused of criminal offenses. Despite these, Estrada and Arroyo have managed to retain positions in government today. In 1998, Estrada – a popular actor-turned-politician – won the presidential race with his slogan, “Erap para sa mahirap” (Erap for the poor). His political troubles started shortly two years later, when Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson, his longtime friend, went public with accusations that Estrada and his cronies received millions of pesos from illegal operations of jueteng. During Estrada’s impeachment trial, senator-judges had to decide on whether or not to open an envelope supposed to contain strong evidence linking Estrada to over a billion pesos in deposits under the name “Jose Velarde”.

Ten voted “yes” while 11 said “no” – a decision that prompted Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel Jr to resign as Senate President and walk out of the hall, joined by 9 other senators. This dramatic scene was the final trigger that sent Filipinos to EDSA on January 16, 2001. Throughout the first night of the rally, people began to swarm around the historical EDSA Shrine to express their sentiments. More Filipinos, including students, activists and personalities in the music industry, joined in the next days, while the Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines withdrew their support from the president. So on the last day of the protest, January 20, Arroyo took her oath in the presence of clamoring crowds on EDSA as the 14th president of the Republic of the Philippines. Estrada released a letter about Arroyo’s proclamation, saying he had strong doubts about the legality and constitutionality of her proclamation as president. However, he said he would step down to allow national reconciliation. So Estrada left Malacañang Palace together with his family in the same year. He was convicted of plunder in September 2007.

Dates way back to November 1928, the establishment of PLDT, via Act No. 3436, allowed for global networks between US and Philippines to connect. It was given 50 years time of franchise to be able to build a national telephone network. It was also approved by American Governor - General Henry L. Stimson. In addition, the said Act law was allowed and implemented by the Philippines Legislature. This ensured communication via radiotelephone and allowed for further advancements that modern technologies here in the Philippines are using. In the today's world, PLDT continues to help and connect people both locally and globally, which served as a significant event in the ICT world.

There is a growing demand for agile, cost-efficient IT systems and accelerating cloud adoption throughout the government and enterprises. The Philippine government’s Cloud First Policy and digital governance goals have sped up investments in community cloud platforms, which are projected to grow at over 26% annually. Other foreign firms with expertise in managed services, cloud migration, hybrid infrastructure, and cybersecurity enhanced cloud protection, are in strong positions to serve the expanding market.

FinTech (Finance Technology), is one of the Philippines’ fastest growing digital markets, with digital payments accounting for 57.4% of retail transactions in 2024, up from 52.8% in 2023. Payments represent the largest vertical (35% of FinTech firms), followed by lending and remittances. Six digital banks now serve nearly 8.7 million deposit accounts, representing 7% of all bank accounts. Digital lending is on pace to exceed $1 billion by 2025.

The 2010 Philippine National and Local Elections was an important event in the country because it was the first time that the Philippines conducted a nationwide automated election. Instead of manually counting all the ballots, the election used an Automated Election System (AES) and machines to count and transmit election results.

ICT played a huge role because computers and electronic systems helped in counting, and transmitting votes. Before automation, counting votes manually could take a long time. Through the use of technology, the process of getting election results became faster and more organized.

For me, the 2010 automated election showed how ICT can improve important processes in our country. Technology helped make a difficult task easier and faster especially since millions of votes had to be counted. However, I also think that technology should always be properly checked and secured because elections are very important.

What is the EDSA Dos, you might ask? If you’re familiar with the People Power Revolution that occured in 1986, then you’ll know that the EDSA Dos was coined as the Second People Power Revolution. It was a political protest that happened in January 17-20, 2001 which peacefully removed President Joseph Estrada from the office after his impeachment trial regarding corruption and illegal gambling charges was stalled. It led to Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo taking the oath as the new president of the Philippines.

So, you may ask, what role did ICT have in this historical event? At the time, social media was in an uproar and when protests were arranged, people were forwarded “Go 2 EDSA Wear blk.”. And then the people gathered in Metro Manila, blocking traffic with the goal of finally ruling President Joseph Estrada out of office. Three days later, he was out of office and he blamed the “text-messaging generation” for aiding his downfall.

This is the first instance social media helped with removing a government official, hence why it is an important part of ICT’s involvement in the Philippines’ history. And it stems far more from just text messaging, ICT paved the way for people to let people know about the protests, but also what was happening in the government.

Trillion peso march’s message: Parusahan ang nangurakot

# data[].attributes.body
Last September 21, 2025, thousands of Filipinos gathered at Luneta and EDSA Shrine for the “Trillion Peso March.” They protested about the massive corruption in flood control and infrastructure projects, where trillions of pesos in public funds were used and reportedly stolen through ghost projects, poor construction, and kickbacks. Their message was very clear “Panagutin lahat ng korap” to hold corrupt officials accountable and punish those who stole from the people of the Philippines. It is indeed a powerful reminder that when the government fails us, citizens have every right to demand justice.

In my opinion, this movement shows that public awareness is one of the strongest ways to fight corruption. It is really inspiring to see all different generations speaking with one voice.

Corruption hurts everyone, especially when we face floods every year while money meant to help us goes to those dishonest and untrustworthy officials. This march was not just about the anger, it is also hope. It tells leaders that Filipinos are watching and will not stay silent all the time. Real change starts when we refuse to accept corruption as normal—and that is what this march achieved.

Global digital volunteers used satellite imagery to map out open roads for aid trucks could deliver food and medicine to trapped communities, while families used online tools to find missing relatives and post safety updates. Through quick online donations and social media calls for help, ICT proved that regular people connected online can come together to save lives.

From what I have read, ICT during Typhoon Yolanda was great it was amazing for organizing help from online and the outside. The online tools let people around the world step up by mapping clear roads for first responders, finding missing loved ones, and sending donations for those who were affected.

The Philippines made global history during the EDSA II Revolution by using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to change its government. Known as the "Texting Capital of the World," Filipinos used SMS mobile messages as a powerful tool. When political tension peaked, viral text messages spread like wildfire, telling citizens to wear black and gather at the EDSA Shrine. This instant communication bypassed slow traditional media. Within just 88 hours, over a million people quickly organized food and logistics entirely via phone networks. This text-driven movement successfully and peacefully forced President Joseph Estrada to step down.
