This Is What Filipinos Googled the Most In 2023

No comments

Surprisingly, none of them are NSFW related.

Google creates the annual “Year in Search” just before a year ends. It’s been four days into 2024 and there has been a lot happening since, including the tragic 7.2 magnitude earthquake and tsunami in Japan and Steamboat Willie becoming public domain just the moment the year hit.

Here are the most searched items by Filipinos in Google in 2023, and we’re very surprised that all of them are mild. But then again, there might be filters that Google added before they posted this year in search to be safe.

Unsurprisingly, in the “News” category, SIM Registration was the top search because it forced people to register their SIM Cards when the SIM Registration Law was enforced back in October. In the “Movies” category, even though Barbenheimer, a portmanteau between Barbie and Oppenheimer, was flooding the search engine, Oppenheimer is in the lead while Barbie is in third, in place was John Wick 4.

Also, surprisingly, “KathNiel” did not make it into the top search despite several netizens searching it up when the duo broke up last November 30.

In the “sports” category, we think it’s pretty obvious that NBA playoffs are going to be the most searched, with the one in the lead being the match between Lakers and Warriors followed by “Lakers vs Nuggets”

Let’s go over the list, shall we?
