Filipinos scrambled the most to search the keyword “Valentine’s
message" on Google. The next four keywords with the highest hits also
indicate a search for killer lines:
- “Valentine’s quotes"
- “Valentine’s card"
- “Love quotes Tagalog"
- “Pick-up lines"
A large number of Filipinos preferred to express love more lyrically,
searching the keywords “love songs" and “love poems."
Others wanted to know more about “flowers," while others hit the keywords
“broken-hearted quotes."
Some simply went to Google to know “what is love."
*World leader in lyrics-searching*
Videoke-loving Filipinos also bested other countries on Google for the
highest number of queries for song lyrics. The search engine rates the
Philippines at 100, followed by the United States at a distant 46.
Other countries in the top ten include Canada, Lebanon, Australia, Eritrea,
Singapore, Nepal, Greece, and Croatia.
The most-searched song in the Philippines is ‘Collide,’ followed by ‘Marry
Me,’ ‘Forget You,’ ‘Marry You,’ ‘Grenade,’ ‘Breakeven,’ ‘Terrified,’ ‘Love
Story,’ ‘Perfect Two,’ and ‘Teenage Dream.’* — TJD, GMA News*
