‘Halalan 2022,’ ‘VaxCertPh’ among most searched topics on Google this year

Google has released Year in Search 2022, a compilation of lists that Filipinos searched for this year. 

This year, ‘Halalan 2022‘ topped the Overall Top Trending Searches as Filipinos searched for information regarding the 2022 national elections from how to find their precincts, voting resources, and results. ‘Precinct finder‘ also made its way in the overall list at number three.

As the country continues to reopen, ‘VaxCertPH‘ remained in the top list for the second consecutive year. The certificate that proves a person is vaccinated against COVID-19 has become a requirement for travel and face-to-face engagements. Last year, the term landed fourth in the list. In 2022, it moved up two places to occupy the second spot.

Year in Search continues to highlight how much Filipinos love consuming content online–whether it’s games or streaming–with five out of ten spots on the overall list occupied by games like ‘Wordle‘ at #4 and ‘Axie Infinity‘ at #9; and shows ‘All of Us Are Dead‘ at #5, ‘Encanto‘ at #8, and ‘Jeffrey Dahmer‘ at #10. 

Searches for the NBA Finals 2022 matchup featuring the Warriors vs. Celtics and the Russia-Ukraine war are on 6th and 7th, respectively.
