Wazzup Pilipinas!
Google released its Philippine elections page, a one-stop online hub for all election-related information such as broadcast and written news, candidate and precinct details, debates, etc. Google has worked with several broadcast and online news stations to develop this page and help make our local and absentee voters more informed come election day. The page can be accessed at www.google.com.ph/elections.
Filipino voters can now visit one site to keep abreast with election news from different media outlets. Broadcast networks ABS-CBN, GMA, PTV, and SOLARtv, and online news portals Rappler, PhilStar.com, Inquirer.net and Interaksyon.com collaborated with Google Philippines to create Google.com.ph/elections. The site is a one-stop online hub for elections-related news and information created to help 53 million Filipino voters, including 700,000 absentee voters abroad, stay updated about the coming polls.
“We want to make sure citizens have a quick access to information to help them make informed decisions on election day,” said Narciso Reyes, Google Philippines Country Manager. “This is part of our commitment to bring to the Filipinos essential information that will make their lives easier and more meaningful.”
