Activity 9.

3: Look into the Past

1. It is the first in a series of rallies in the Philippines advocating for the complete abolition of the
Pork Barrel Fund, which was sparked by popular outrage over the Priority Development
Assistance Fund scandal.
2. This was initiated by Arnold Pedrigal, Peachy Bretana, and Bernardo Bernardo
3. The media has a huge impact on how people's opinions and behaviors are formed and
influenced.
4. Despite the fact that the movement's original goal was to gather a million people to march
against the graft-tainted pork barrel fund, it was nonetheless declared a success because of an
internet campaign that brought 80,000 -100,000 people to lunetas, according to police.
5. One thing I may suggest to improve non-media-assisted campaigns is to make them non-
biased.

Activity 9.4: Cartoon Analysis

1. The cartoon simply implies political pressure influence on media in upholding truth. It can be
seen in the image that the media wanted to get to the truth and expose it to the public, but that the
political pressure they would face if they did so would have a negative impact.
2. Yes, political pressure on the media still exists in our country. Some company have been
threatened or given large sums of money to keep the facts hidden from public.
3. For me yes, the cartoon show a challenge and opportunity at the same time. It does
demonstrate that the difference between a difficulty and an opportunity is determined by the type
of information they've seen and heard about.

Activity 10.2: Question and Answer

1. In today’s day and age, technology is advancing around all of us. Computers are mostly
accessible to many everywhere they go, cell phones in everybody’s hands, and even the access
for wireless internet has made easy. Because of these innovations and advancements, learning

and a new reliable platform in the education community. MOOCs has become a risk-free type of
learning. Student are able to retrieve different educational material for them to be able to study
and learn new things through softcopy files and even educational videos. Even though MOOCs
have shared its reliability, I still believe that the traditional way of delivering knowledge and
information will be preferrable and ideal.
3. I believe that MOOCs are potentially harmful to copyright, since its platform is through the
internet, it is bound for the greater public; some people may use their materials to be distributed
illegally and commit copyright infringement.
