Nowadays, the use of information and communication technology (ICT) is infiltrating to the daily comings and goings of life. This study investigates the effects of ICT use on time planning, social dimension and travel behavior particularly in the context of Metro Manila, Philippines. The data was collected for university students and workers. The result of structural equation modeling indicates that ICT use may have a direct effect on time planning, social network, social activity participation and only indirect effect on travel behavior. Travel behavior may be directly affected by social network, social activity participation and time planning. The implications of the empirical results from a developing country like the Philippines to transport policy analysis, especially by time planning, is that some tasks are especially done in quick time planning due to ICT use as a tool, which might lead to new organization of activities as well as new patterns of travel.
