Between 2020 and 2021, the number of Filipino internet users increased by a reported 4.2 million (+6.1%). By January 2021, internet penetration in the country now stood at approximately 67%.One of the most noticeable trends among Filipinos was the continued proliferation of mobile. The number of mobile connections in the Philippines in January 2021 was equivalent to 138.2% of the total population, owing to the fact that many Filipinos have more than one mobile connection.
