MANILA, Philippines — The new law requiring Filipinos to register their SIM cards is the most searched news in the Philippines this year, according to technology company Google.
Google Philippines on Tuesday night unveiled the Year In Search 2023, its annual compilation of the top trending keywords and terms that Filipinos searched for.
“These top 10 lists serve as a record of the many events and issues that people have gotten caught up in over the year. For example, SIM registration topped the News list because of the new law that mandated everyone to register their phone numbers, and because Filipinos wanted to know more about the process,” the company said.
