MANILA, Philippines – Google on Wednesday, December 7, revealed the top topics that Filipinos searched for in 2022.

With the national elections held earlier in May, Halalan 2022 topped Google’s overall top trending searches, with Filipinos looking for information on how to find their precincts, voting resources, and results. A related election search term, precinct finder, made its way to top three.

VaxCertPH is number two in the list, which Google says is the second consecutive year that the term has found itself in the top 10 of trending topics. The search term is used to look for information on the Philippines’ vaccine certificates, which has become a requirement for travel and other face-to-face events. Last year, the term was fourth highest.

Searches for the game Wordle, the Netflix show All Of Us Are Dead, and the NBA Finals 2022 matchup featuring the Warriors vs. Celtics are 4th, 5th, and 6th, respectively. Ukraine at 7th shows Filipinos’ interest in following the Russia-Ukraine war, which has become one of the worst humanitarian crises in Europe since World War II.

The Disney movie Encanto proved to be one of the year’s most popular films sitting at 8th on Google’s list, followed by the blockchain game Axie Infinity at 9th place, and serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer on the 10th spot, following the popularity of the Netflix show based on him.
