Games spectators can stay updated with the multi-sport event anytime with Google Search.

When they search for a specific country, sport, athlete, or the Games in general, they will be able to view up-to-the-minute schedules, results, medal counts, top video highlights and daily recaps, as well as the latest top stories and social media perspectives.

The information will also be in Manila time, as well as performance updates and trending events in the Philippines.
