    NETWORKS TO THE RESCUE: TWEETING RELIEF AND AID DURING TYPHOON ONDOY A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Xenia Yasmin Zia Gutierrez Morales, B.A. April 26, 2010 Washington DC Copyright 2010 by Xenia Yasmin Zia Gutierrez Morales All Rights Reserved ii NETWORKS TO THE RESCUE: TWEETING RELIEF AND AID DURING TYPHOON ONDOY Xenia Yasmin Zia Gutierrez Morales, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Mirjana Dedaic, Ph.D. ABSTRACT In September 2009, the forces of social networking sites were harnessed to create a civil society network in aid of disaster relief operations in the Philippines. This occured spontaneously, individually and then collectively in the midst of tropical storm Ondoy, forming a networked group of individuals bonded by shared goals and identities. Using data from Twitter in general and the RockEdRadio Twitter Network in particular, this thesis traces the emergence of relief and rescue networks during the Ondoy Typhoon and subsequent flooding. Diffusion Theory and Theories of Networked Interaction are employed in the analysis of the architecture and operationality of the relevant disaster-relief oriented SNS networks. Furthermore, this thesis also analyses the content of selected Tweets and delves into the unique features of the Philippine context to explain how these online social networks of rescue and relief diffused so spontaneously, rapidly and seamlessly amidst challenging circumstances. The thesis concludes with recommendations regarding the use of SNS technologies in other national disaster scenarios. iii The research and writing of this thesis is dedicated to my father, Danilo Morales, my mother, Lourdes Morales and my sister, Armi Prisara Morales.

  • In Re the Impeachment
    In Re Impeachment of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo President, Republic of the Philippines, Respondent. X_____________________X AMENDED COMPLAINT Prefatory Statement Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.1 Public office is a public trust. Public officers and employees must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency, act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives.2 …A well-constituted court for the trial of impeachments is an object not more to be desired than difficult to be obtained in a government wholly- elective. The subjects of its jurisdiction are those which proceeded from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust….What, it may be asked, is the true spirit of the institution itself? Is it not designed as a method of NATIONAL INQUEST into the conduct of public men? If this be the design of it, who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves?...3 t stake in this proceeding for the impeachment of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President of the Philippines, is the Aintegrity of the Office of the President, upon which is laid that great burden embodied in the high constitutional principle that a 1 PROVERBS 14: 34 (KJV) 2CONST. art. XI § 1. 3THE FEDERALIST No. 65, at 396-397 (Alexander Hamilton), (Clinton Rossiter ed., 1961) (1788) [capitalization in the original] 1 public office is a public trust. In this proceeding, to expose the criminality, illegality and unconstitutionality of the conduct in office of the Chief Executive - the highest official of the land - is to uphold the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and the accountability of the President to the Filipino People, the true Sovereign of the Republic of the Philippines.

    USING FORCE TO GAIN VOICE: THE PROSPECTS AND LIMITS OF USING COERCIVE MECHANISMS TO SECURE DELIBERATIVE INCLUSION by NICOLE PAULA CURATO A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies School of Government and Society The University of Birmingham April 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT USING FORCE TO GAIN VOICE: THE PROSPECTS AND LIMITS OF USING COERCIVE MECHANISMS TO SECURE DELIBERATIVE INCLUSION This thesis analyses the impact of marginalised groups using coercive mechanisms as a strategy for deliberative inclusion. It engages the literature on deliberative democratic theory that makes a case for using non-linguistic mechanisms to gain entry to exclusionary deliberative forums. This research explores its limits through a linguistic-based microanalysis of an ―extreme‖ case where marginalised political agents employed threats of force – the apparent antithesis of deliberation – in an attempt to secure inclusion. The case is that of a military mutiny in the Philippines in 2003, where a group of junior officers took over the central business district to publicly air their demands for reform to the military.
