MANILA -- Google on Thursday released its complete list of top trending searches in the Philippines.

Categories such as education and games emerged this year as most Filipinos spent more time at home during the pandemic.

How-to articles and tutorials also gained popularity as people spent the quarantine to learn new things.

"Looking back at the year that was, many Filipinos realized the importance of going digital now more than ever to search for answers and cope with the new changes happening around them. As per the latest SEA e-Conomy report, a significant number of Filipinos tried new digital services and 54% of these new consumers came from non-metro areas," said Geia Lopez, Google Southeast Asia's analytical head for consumer packaged goods and retail.

"Google is committed to making search constantly helpful to Filipinos as they rely on technology to look for useful and trusted information, and reap the benefits of the digital economy to succeed and grow," she added.
