4. 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 involving 2 million people from
different sectors.

5. 2. EDSA Dos. This is also known as the 2001 EDSA
Revolution, happened during January 17 to 21 2001. It was
fueled after 11 prosecutors of the 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.

6. 3. Million People March. 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 to condemn the misuse of the
Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).

7. Though dubbed as the Million People March, the number of
total attendees was around 400,000. Despite that, it was
still considered a success and clearly demonstrated how
powerful social media campaigns are. The organizers and
promoters used Facebook and Chang.org as their
mediums.

8. 4. Yolanda People Finder. Recent storms in Philippine
history gave birth to the people finder database powered by
Google. During the 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.

9. 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 are only done through signing a paper by a
group asking for signatures via travel. Change.org gives
access to more people by allowing the online community to
affix their digital signatures on a petition.

to families looking for their loved ones during calamities of
