Social Media in the Philippines

Have you ever wondered how many Filipinos are as active as you are right now in the Internet? That’s exactly what Universal Mccann had in mind. In fact, the organization conducted a social media study covering 29 countries (in Wave 3*) and 38 countries (in Wave 4**), both of which include the Philippines. In fact, Universal Mccann shows how Filipino Internet users grew from 3.3 million to 4.2 million in about a year—the different between Universal Mccann’s Wave 3 study (completed in March 2008) and Wave 4 study (completed in March 2009). By March 2009, the Internet has reached 21.5% percent penetration in the Philippines.
