Four of five Pinoys have no Internet at home

The Philippines may boast of being the social networking hub, but nearly four out of five Pinoy adults still have no Internet access at home, results of a new poll showed.

A total of 79 percent of Filipinos reported being offline at home, U.S.-based pollster Gallup found in a survey of 1,000 adults in each of 148 countries globally.

The report put the Philippines among the 100 countries where less than a majority of respondents answered yes when asked the question "Does your home have access to the Internet?"

This, even as Gallup stressed that the results "reflect the percentage of adults who answered yes, rather than the percentage of households in a given country with Internet access."

"Additionally, it is possible that adults have access to the Internet through other means, including schools and universities, public libraries, Internet cafes, and smartphones," Gallup said.

However, the recent findings are consistent with a United Nations report in September, which claimed that 71 percent of Pinoys had no access to Internet through any means.
