1995: Ayala Corporation

Companies connecting to the Internet became aware  of their corporate image.  Ayala Corporation - which would rather be a dotcom player - started its website. 

Even while top companies like Ayala Corporation (http://globe.com.ph/~isd/ac_home.htm) got press coverage went online, countless smaller companies have also built an online presence.  Many of these started out as extensions of the personal page built by company staff members who were the first to go online among their peers.
 

1995: G-Spot

Cebu City ISP GSILink puts up G-Spot (http:www.gsilink.com/gspot), the first public Filipino search engine. It indexed keywords from websites using the Open Source software engine, but required users to manually add sites to its catalog.  This showed that Filipinos wanted to look for content located within the country, which could not be satisfied by foreign engines of the time.  No Filipino search engine has been able to do actual indexing of local content, until Google started offering country-specific searches.
