Second People Power Revolution

Second People Power Revolution

In January 2001, Philippine President Joseph Estrada was driven from office by hundreds of thousands of angry citizens mobilized by millions of text messages and e-petitions. After 11 pro-Estrada senators voted to block evidence of the corruption in an impeachment trial of the President (Estrada was taking money from an illegal numbers racket), citizens began to circulate messages

like "The 11 senators are pigs!

S&@t, Estrada is acquitted! Let's do People Power! Pls. pass.”Text

messaging and cell phones become powerful

tools for the people organizing demonstrations in the main thoroughfare of Manila, and one carrier reported that the daily volume of text messages increased from 45 million to 70 million. Estrada called it a “coup de text”.

• Everything has a history, and making that content available

to individuals when they are

at that place provides a richer experience. • Everyone has a social network

and the ability

to find out more about a person immediately through his social networks provides a better real-world social communication.
