This is definitely a step up from our other record: The world's heaviest senders of SMS or text messages.
According to the survey results (with 8,000 global respondents), 87 percent of Filipinos with mobile phones use the phone's alarm clock vs. the global average of just 67 percent. 63 percent of Filipinos, on the other hand, regularly play games, 48% listen to or download music, 44 percent watch video clips on the phone, and 13 percent watch TV (vs. global average of 5%).
