Filipino actress and singer Maris Racal dominated Google Trends in the Philippines on December 4, 2023, following a viral social media post involving her and actor Anthony Jennings.
The surge in search interest came after Jamela Villanueva, Jennings’ ex-girlfriend, posted screenshots of private messages between Racal and Jennings on Instagram. The controversial post quickly spread across social media platforms, sparking widespread curiosity and discussion among Filipino netizens.
At its peak, the search term “Maris Racal” reached a score of 100 on Google Trends in the Philippines before 1:00 a.m., making her the most searched term in the Philippines then. The high search interest persisted throughout the morning of December 4.
