#philippines number 1

The Philippines ranks number one once again, this time in watching online content. According to the Digital 2024 Global Overview Report, the Philippines has the highest number of users that watch video and content online across the globe. Based on the data, the Philippines topped the chart with 97.2 percent followed by Mexico at 97.0 percent and South Africa at 97.0%, respectively. In terms of daily time spent using the internet, however, the Philippines only ranked third. It’s no surprise though that the Philippines ranked the top given the availability and ease of internet access and social media. Mobile networks in the Philippines offer a lot of affordable data plans, making it easily accessible to everyone across the country. The Philippines and the European Union (EU) are working together to improve digital connectivity, strengthen cybersecurity, and expand access to satellite data under a new initiative aimed at supporting economic growth and disaster resilience. The Philippine Space Agency and the EU Delegation to the Philippines are leading the project together with the Department of Science and Technology, Department of Information and Communications Technology, and the Office of Civil Defense.
