7. In democratic country like Philippines, collection of voices from a uniting
society is mainly visible in some of the country’s events like EDSA I and II. Its
goal to create changes and progression became more successful with the aid
of ICT tools and platforms. These ICT tools and platforms changed the way
Filipino people communicate. ICT can be a medium for developmental
communication and advocacy.
It is a communication approach which brings knowledge to
societies that they can use to change their lives (Silandote Jr., G.
2016). According to Audiopedia, it seeks to influence stakeholders and policy
makers, to build favorable enviroments, to identify challenges and
opportunities and to facilitate the sharing of knowledge to produce positive
social change via sustainable development.
One example of this is Information and Communication Technologies for
Development (ICT4D). Through ICT, it aimed to bridge the space between
technological “have” and “have not” geopraphic locations or demographic
groups. It supports socio-economic development, international development,
and human rights (GAVI CSO Constituency, 2014). One of the examples of
what you can do with ICT4D is send and receive mobile money. It promotes
easier and safer alternative to cash payments, and benefits people who cannot
maintain a conventional bank account.
Alliance for justice
defined it as “any
action that speaks in favor of,
recommends, argues for a cause, supports or defends, or
pleads on behalf of others.” Do you remember the story
of David and Goliath? Oppose to the original story, the
Goliath in the advocacy process involves major
organizations that can be a remedy for unjust or negative
societal condition. These conditions usually impacts the
citizens, or known as David. One example of an advocacy
is the campaign called #WorldWithoutWaste organized
by a famous softdrink company. It aims to solve the
problem with solid waste management (Rappler, 2020).

8. The success of developmental communication and advocacy depends on the
ICT platforms and tools you choose. One of the best options you have is social
media. Through this, you can reach large audiences, have a direct connection
with your audience, create organic and viral content, evaluate your
performance, and join social media networks for free. However, it is also
important to know the following downsides: you can receive negative
feedback, has a potential for embarrassment, must spend a lot of time on your
campaigns, and must wait to see the progress (WebFX.com, n.d.).
According to Silandote Jr. G. (2016), there are three faces of social media:
1. The Good – used to contact people regardless of their distant and time zone.
2. The Bad – enabled people to hide behind screen and avatars and it took
over their lives than being them in control.
3. The Ugly – might became a common cause of broken relationships, self-
centeredness, and cybercrimes.
I. Directions: Share anecdotes of how you have used ICTs to be part of a
social movement, change or cause to illustrate aspects of digital citizenship.

yourself in the circle.
