The death of Paul Walker, Miss Universe, FIBA Asia, UAAP Season 76, and Wimbledon were amongst the top Google searches for the Philippines in 2013.
The Philippine Google Zeitgeist is based on what Filipinos searched on google.com.ph.
The devastating Typhoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan), one of the strongest typhoons also made it to the list .
Gail Tan, Google Country Communications Manager, said: “With the growing percentage of population going online, Zeitgeist becomes reflective of the issues and topics we’re interested in. This year’s lists speak a lot about our concern for national achievement and progress, while at the same time our curiosity in pop culture issues.”
