Rappler hits 2 million followers on Twitter

MANILA, Philippines – Two million unique voices united by one goal can make a difference.

On Sunday, July 31, Rappler’s Twitter account hit two million followers.

Since Rappler launched on Twitter in July 2011 under the username @moveph, we have been with our online community through every developing story and meaningful social campaign, hoping to move the country forward one ripple at a time.

A lot has happened since we reached one million Twitter followers less than a year ago. We’ve seen intense discussions on some of the biggest issues and events, including the May 2016 elections, which Twitter tagged as the most engaged elections in Southeast Asia on the micro-blogging platform.

Here are some of Rappler’s top tweets in the past year:
