This new office will allow us to better engage with our local users, partners and advertisers. Over 33 million Filipinos access the Internet regularly...

Google Philippines country manager Narciso Reyes said his office will be working on localizing Google's product for the Filpinos.

We want Filipino users to find and access local information relevantly and very quickly," Reyes said. "Our local team will be committed to providing better services to our Filipino users and to helping businesses - large and small - grow locally and globally, contributing to the growth of the Philippine economy."
