One hundred and twenty-two years later, Filipinos are again waving a flag of freedom, this time, using the power of digital. In its Independence Day report, digital advertising firm AdSpark looked into four key areas as examples of how Filipinos harnessed digital as their primary weapon to circumvent all sorts of hindrances during the current pandemic. These are areas where digital serves as a key enabler of normalcy – getting essential goods and services, learning online, discovering talent in cooking, and working productively.
