Google’s selective search criteria have reached new heights of absurdity. Imagine typing “Berting Labra, the late Filipino actor and comedian,” and being greeted not by his image, but by a photo of Jake Zyrus, formerly known as Charice Pempengco. Why? Because some netizen decided a comparison was in order. It’s like Google overheard a drunk conversation at a bar and decided it was fact.
Meanwhile, a search for Rodrigo Duterte, famously dubbed “The Punisher,” brings up Marvel’s brooding antihero instead of the tough-talking ex-president.

Is this a glitch, or has Google’s algorithm developed a wicked sense of humor? Either way, it’s clear that if you’re looking for reliable information, you might be better off consulting a crystal ball. Google’s search engine seems to be operating on the principle that any connection, no matter how tenuous or misguided, is worth highlighting.
