Filipinos’ online curiosity in 2024 was diverse—ranging from pressing global issues to local entertainment—according to Google’s annual Year in Search.
“Heat wave” was the top overall search term and the #1 news search term. The list also revealed a strong interest in news, with six of the top ten overall search terms falling into this category.
Meanwhile, the country’s growing tech-savviness was evident in the popularity of AI-related searches, aligning with findings from this year’s e-Conomy SEA Report.
Filipino Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo made it to four lists: overall top trending, news, sports, and male personalities.
Meanwhile, Nation’s Girl Group BINI is the top search among female personalities following their big breakthrough this year. Their two breakout hits “Salamin, Salamin” and “Pantropiko” also made the top 10 list of music and lyrics searched, which was topped by R&B singer Dionela’s viral song “Sining.”
