Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

In a report shared by Twitter to Smart Communications, the recent visit of Pope Francis broke Twitter records in the Philippines, simply showing the Roman Catholic Pontiff’s popularity in the country and how Filipinos have turned to social media to openly express their love and appreciation for him.

Philippines, being the Selfie Capital of the World, also showed that they’re just as active at Twitter as they are on Instagram. The report came in showing more than 3.3 million Tweets related to the Papal visit from January 13 to 20, 2015. The number of Tweets reached its peak on January 15 at 6:30PM when the Pope arrived in Manila – with a whopping 3,664 Tweets per second.

Not only that, the all-time Golden Tweet (most Retweeted Tweet) for the Philippines is also a result of Pope Francis’ trip in the country. On January 16, he tweeted through his @Pontifex account:

This post received nearly 76,000 Retweets and almost 90,000 Favorites. It is also the Pope’s most Retweeted Tweet which was enabled with the help of Smart giving free Twitter access to Filipinos during his stay in the country.

“Whether physically present during the papal activities or not, we were able to share our warm welcome and amplify our voice to converse with other Filipinos and Catholics all over the world through Twitter.  Here is a part of our nation’s digital footprint, a digital imprint of our singular Papal visit experience,” said Ramon R. Isberto (@MonIsberto), Public Affairs Group head at Smart.

Most of the hashtags used were related to working out and going to the gym. This is not a surprise as January is the time where people start to get into fitness hence the #NewYearNewMe, #BalikAlindog, and #PushPaMore posts. How about on your feed?
