Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, shares the benefits of e-commerce as the Philippines faces the pandemic. Through adversities such as rising unemployment, frontliner burnout, and back-to-back typhoons, Shopee aims to use the power of e-commerce to give back to local communities.
Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “Shopee is committed to empowering different communities through e-commerce. Shopee’s strengthened digital ecosystem has supported over 300,000 local MSMEs as they transitioned online. Through Shopee Bayanihan, our CSR initiative, we have also helped uplift frontliners and children in need. It is part of our goal to harness the digital ecosystem’s potential to provide opportunities for every Filipino from aspiring entrepreneurs, ordinary families, and the impoverished. ”
