Sea Ltd.’s e-commerce business Shopee faced boycott calls from Philippine consumers after naming a staunch supporter of the country’s president, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., as its brand ambassador.

Aspiring to become a super app, Shopee is facing challenges, including in the Vietnamese market.

Shopee, a popular e-commerce platform, is reportedly laying off employees from across some more markets. Earlier this year, the platform shut operations in India. Here are fresh details.  

After being introduced to Shopee, Toni Gonzaga realized how much convenience the platform gave, particularly convenience of time and energy from going out and having to spend on gas.

The Shopee boycotts started after Filipina singer and actress Toni Gonzaga was appointed as brand ambassador on Thursday.

Host-actress Toni Gonzaga appeared unfazed by the amount of backlash shes been receiving the past few months, especially after announcing being a brand ambassador for e-commerce company Shopee.

In a 1,000-word staff memo sent days before the layoffs began, CEO Forrest Li said the adverse market conditions are "not a quickly passing storm."

The e-commerce giant is reportedly axing 3% of the current workforce in three markets, including Indonesia.

The operator of Southeast Asia’s largest e-commerce platform laid off a number of employees in China on Monday, as its parent Sea Limited trims its global payroll following steep losses.

The company will be restricting expenses, capping all flights at the economy level, and executives will temporarily forgo compensation, Li wrote.
