by Mong Palatino

From texting and ringtone protests to “Million People March” and Pink rallies, activist writer Mong Palatino puts a spotlight on how digital resistance has evolved in the Philippines and how Filipinos were able to speak truth to power amid the rise of information disorder and digital authoritarianism. The book explores the experience of netizens in communities, Congress, and the countryside. Palatino shares his insight as a blogger-legislator in the campaign against the anti-cybercrime law. He also provides readers with a rare glimpse of the mobile newsroom and media work of the underground movement based in the guerrilla zone. Digital natives are asked to link their online engagement with the people’s struggle for freedom and rights. It is not enough that virtual networks are transformed into spaces of dissent. For truth to emerge and prevail, we have to make the internet a platform that can empower individuals in the real world. The fight is out there.
