Many events in the past showed us how the media play a pivotal role in bringing awareness and action
addressing social and political issues around the world. In the Philippines, an example of these events is the
Million People March. In this activity, you are to read the article below about the Million People March – what
it was, how it came to be, how it ended, and what role media and information played in between.
The Million People March
August 17, 2013, a day after the Commission on Audit (COA) released a special report on the Priority
Assistance Development Fund (PDAF), saw how social media became a springboard for a mass protest. Calls
for protest began circulating on Facebook and Twitter after a series of exposés by the Philippine Daily Inquirer
about a mammoth scam involving Congress’ PDAF.
PDAF or more popularly known as the “pork barrel”, the term used to mean funds allocated to
senators and congressmen to be used in their pet development projects, sparked online outrage from the
Filipinos because of how, by nature, vulnerable it is to corruption and how it has become a fund source for
some legislators. What enraged citizens more was that then-President Benigno Aquino III earlier maintained
that he wanted to keep the PDAF.
Consequently, friends Arnold Pedrigal, Peachy Bretana, and Bernardo Bernardo, created a Facebook
event page to gather people who wanted the PDAF scrapped. They said they wanted a "massive pocket picnic"
and to bring one million people to Luneta Park on August 26. Astonishingly, the #MillionPeopleMarch surfaced
by August 18 and immediately dominated Twitter.
This hashtag, together with #PDAFKalampag and #ScrapPork, flooded Twitter and FB feeds with over
140,000 social media mentions as of 8PM of August 26. Many Filipinos expressed their anger through creating
blogs, pages, advertisements and even memes to show that they agree to the idea of stopping the Pork Barrel
Fund.
Although the movement originally called to bring in a million people to march against the graft-tainted
pork barrel fund, it has still been deemed a success as the online campaign was actualized with 80,000-
100,000 people at Luneta according to the police. This number included professionals, students, workers,
priests, nuns and even civic and showbiz personalities. The movement was even emulated on a smaller-scale
in other cities across the country and in various cities around the world where there are concentrations of
Filipinos.
In the face of the mass’ growing collective anger, President Aquino announced that he was suspending
the release of money and vowed to reform the system. After the protests, senators also released statements
acknowledging the legitimacy of protesters’ call to abolish lawmakers’ Priority Development Assistance Fund
(PDAF) or pork barrel.
This was the Million People March – a tale of how a group of 3’s call to reform in social media sparked
a crusade against corruption, a movement actualized on the ground.
