Google PH election page gets hits from over 50 countries


MANILA, Philippines - Google's Philippine elections resource page got hits from over 50 countries since it was launched this month.

The page has been visited by Internet users from as far as Uzbekistan, Rwanda, Finland, and the Netherlands.

"We are proud to see that many Filipinos outside the Philippines are finding the site helpful. The millions of overseas Filipinos, including the 700,000 registered absentee voters abroad, are out of reach of the candidates’ traditional campaign propaganda. Through the site, we are able to make election-related information accessible to them, helping them make their decision come election day," Narciso Reyes, Google Philippines Country Manager, said in a statement.

The page is a collaboration between Google Philippines and broadcast networks such as ABS-CBN and GMA, and other online news portals. Election-related updates from various news sites are collated in one page.

The Google Philippines Elections Page can be accessed at google.com.ph/elections.
