We’ve already learned about Yahoo! PH’s entire editorial team being given their walking papers a couple months back, leaving the website no original source of local content except syndicated stories from partner publishers.
This week, global HQ made an announcement in a blog post that a number of services will also be shut down, including the Yahoo! Philippines website.
Yahoo.com.ph now redirects to SG.yahoo.com
Not long after the announcement, the Philippine homepage of Yahoo! PH is no longer active and being redirected to Yahoo! SG.
Yahoo! PH was among the most active homepage in the region with active local content. Yahoo! PH also popularized the annual TechnoStorm event and the much publicized Yahoo! Celebrity Awards.
Does Yahoo think Filipinos are interested in Singapore or Malaysia local news just because we’re in Southeast Asia too? Meh. Today was the day I noticed that there were ZERO Ph-related news in Yahoo. I finally had to switch my home page.
Check out the website ph.yahoo.com. It is up and running again. Then, try to access sg.yahoo.com and you will be redirected to Yahoo PH. Does the recent acquisition of Verizon to Yahoo has something to do with it?
Damn..why did they took Yahoo Philippines? I am using that. :(
Kaya pala search ako ng search bakit di ako maka-direct sa PH Yahoo.
Tapos puro SG news ang nakikita ko.
Nakakalungkot man, di na ako makakakita ng mga local news para updated kahit di ako makapanood ng news at night.
napurga n kc puro nalang punyatang kim kardashian ang balita nila eh..!!!
Yahoo taking wrong decisions one by one since Marissa Mayer took charge… first they shut down popular chat rooms on messenger and then yahoo PH before that also many wrong decisions… this is bad for yahoo future….
Please advise me why I cannot access my yandex.com mail!
thank you,
Michael
