The EDSA Dos also known as the Second Revolution is a political protest from january 2001 that Joseph Estrada will peacefully resign as a Philippine President. Many people protest from EDSA Shrine in Ortigas Avenue to Ayala Avenue in Makati City. This is to show Estrada that hundreds of thousands of people are already demanding his resignation.
The role of ICT in EDSA Dos is that technology like mobile phones was the symbol of People Power II Revolution in the philippines. The use of cellphones for “texting” rather than calls that was the most
intriguing part of People Power II and was also the key to its success. The role of technology is surprising . Texting allowed information on former President Estrada’s corruption to be shared
widely. It helps the people to protest in the EDSA shrine and overthrew Joseph Estrada as a president in the philippines.
The use of technology in Second Revolution is to communicate others and unite for the success. ICT helps to have a change in our country and play a crucial role in helping the people remove a bad leader. Because people have a power to show the right way by the unity and success with the help of technology to gained the rights and change the nation.
