Google draws up PHL election doodle

Google Philippines on Monday drew up a doodle to mark the midterm elections where Filipinos are to elect 12 senators, party list groups, and local officials.

Visitors to Google's Philippine website (www.google.com.ph) were greeted with an animation of hands bearing ballots, eventually dropping them into the ballot box.

The letters in "Google" were drawn up in the company's standard colors, but could also symbolize the wide variety of political parties in the country.

Clicking on the doodle would take the user to a Google Search Results page for "Philippine Elections."

Google Philippines' Google+ page also advised users to get news and election-related information at www.google.com.ph/elections.

On Monday, Filipinos trooped to polling centers to cast their votes. The voting started at 7 a.m. and will end at 7 p.m. — LBG, GMA News
