Google Philippines has released its top search list for the year 2020.

The lists - divided into different categories - provide an overview of the Filipinos interests and online search habits throughout the year.

Given the unprecedented circumstances, it was interesting to see what kept us informed, entertained, and amused while during a global pandemic.

Speaking of such, the How-to category surprisingly showed that more people searched for 'How to make dalgona coffee' than 'How to prevent COVID-19.' Could it be a case of coronavirus news fatigue? Maybe.

Our fascination with Korean pop culture was simply hard to ignore that the lists included a breakdown of top Korean dramas and personalities.

Korean titles even made it to the overall top TV shows and series, and movies list with Parasite and Train to Busan 2 clinching 2nd and 6th spots respectively.

The romantic drama 'Through Night and Day' starring Alessandra de Rossi and Bubble Gang mainstay Paolo Contis emerged as the top searched movie for 2020.

Kapuso funnyman Michael V or Bitoy crashed the most searched male personalities list alongside Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, singer Marcelito Pomoy, and Beautiful Destinations CEO Jeremy Jauncey.

Meanwhile, the shift to online learning resulted in a spike in education-related searches enough for Google Philippines to create a dedicated category for it.

Here's the complete list according to Google Philippines:
