Online shopping is not a new thing to anyone anymore, and it has never been this easy. A few clicks and we’re done, with hardly stress involved. Purchased items from local sellers get to be delivered straight to our doorstep in a few days.

Along with this convenience, we can free up our precious time in going to physical stores to check for the item’s description, compare prices by visiting rack after rack and store after store, find other colors or sizes of the same item, know which store branch has new stocks, figure out which ones are the new arrivals, etc.

Don’t get me wrong though. I enjoy both online shopping and going out into the jam-packed real world to window-shop. There are really just times when I prefer visiting e-stores to see what they have to offer, once in a while. Lately, I have been finding myself quite obsessed with Lamido.

Launched in January 2014, Lamido Philippines is considered as one of the newest entrants in the Philippine online marketplace. Via Lamido, you can buy and sell items ranging from fashion, electronics, books, unique collectible and more. In each transaction, you can deal with people from your city and from all over the country.

6 Reasons Why Lamido Philippines is a Hit to Filipinos

1. Easy Buy and Sell with Best Prices

If you have not tried to visit Lamido yet, I suggest that you do that now. Open this link here and discover how the Lamido online marketplace offers buyers items (both used or new) with the best prices. By best, I mean most reasonable. Start comparing prices of items with those posted on olx and you might be surprised how almost everything at Lamido is priced seemingly at a discount.

2. Free to Run Your Own Business and Make Money

Lamido allows users to promote and advertise products and sell them directly to customers by fixed, discounted or auctioned prices. Sellers can organize payment and shipping of the merchandise as they wish.

Suddenly I remember the Multiply Marketplace which died down a few years back. Well, we got Lamido now and everyone can be a merchant for free. There is no listing fee: you don’t pay anything until you close a deal. Registration steps to be a seller are easy to follow as well.

3. Safe and Worry-free Transactions

The Lamido website has a well organized layout, so navigation through item categories is easy. There are also multiple filters to aid you in finding and comparing the best deals. Moreover, users have the options to choose where and when they want the items to be delivered while safe and secure. How so? Lamido has this feature called “Lamido Safepay.”

With it, buyers can deposit the payment for the items they bought via bank transfer (to Lamido’s bank account) or cash on delivery. Once the payment is confirmed, Lamido will only release the payment to the sellers when the buyer receives the ordered items, which should be in perfect working condition. If the buyer is not satisfied, returning of items is acceptable.

4. Dedicated Help Desk

It’s often frustrating when nobody hears out customer complaints and feedback. It’s great that Lamido has thought of working on customer service as it has a team that’s dedicated to attend to buyer complaints. This is what they call the “Buyer Protection Scheme,” which I think everyone will be (hopefully) happy about. Whenever a complaint with a seller is opened, the Order Fulfillment team sends a warning to the sellers to ship out orders or they will hide their listings from the Lamido.com. ph website.

5. Unusual, Usable Products

The success of Etsy, Ebay, Amazon and Snapdeal, to name a few, can be attributed to the fact that there’s not a lot of sites where you can find unique or unusual products penetrating the online marketplace. These e-stores compete on individuality, aesthetics and the type and variety of products that are available.

This is where Lamido and these mentioned sites are similar, I think. What’s noteworthy is that you can look for “hard-to-find” items in just one big site. Lamido’s brand and reputation for quality will drive the demand.

6. Mobile Shopping

For smartphone users, Lamido.com.ph is also available for browsing through your Android phone. The Lamido Android app was rolled out and officially launched last July 17, 2014. With this application, you can do online shopping on-the-go. You can also check out the detailed product information and images on the app.

Wrap Up

Lamido is another site that changes the online landscape of business. It makes everything simpler and easy for buyers and also allows sellers in the Philippines to maximize sales and revenue. Lamido is one of the many ventures owned by Rocket Internet designed to provide the best and safest marketplace for sellers, merchants and buyers. Successfully creating market leading online companies for more than 15 years worldwide, Rocket Internet is continuously finding ways to provide Internet users services they can use for their businesses and their daily use.

It’s been about a year and a half since I bought my first car, which I found via Sulit Cars (and now OLX Cars and Automotives). Just this week, my parents bought another one for their own use—also via OLX. Little did we know that there’s another trustworthy site where getting your dream car is just a tap away. It’s called Carmudi.

It’s not that I want to replace or upgrade my vehicle but my interest just sparked upon hearing about the new Honda Brio. I searched online and found the Carmudi website. I didn’t expect to find quality listings that are like in a uniform format. The site layout is very organized and navigation is user-friendly, too. In this article, let me share some things I have learned about Carmudi.

8 Things About Carmudi You Need to Know

1. World’s Fastest Growing Online Car Classified

Carmudi hosts only vehicle classified ads and nothing else. Having that focus also allows them to put every vehicle through a highly approved quality checking system. To date, it has over 20,000 vehicle ads posted online, and over one million users are visiting the Carmudi website every month.

2. Special Service on Posting

Unlike other sites which list cars for sale, Carmudi sends a team of car experts who have been in the industry for five to ten years to go to the sellers personally. They take photos of the cars and take the details down before placing them as online listing. This service emphasizes on trust, as Carmudi as a company values trustworthy listings for the buyers who go to their website.

3. Managed Content

Because of the above point, there’s no way that junk data would reside on the Carmudi site. The business platform operates under a high level of transparency through professional photos, updated listings, detailed descriptions, reports and rankings for 100% of its vehicles in each market. Only approved vehicles are posted, so buyers can be sure that buying through the website is safe.

4. After-sales Service

Carmudi has an after-sales service team who contacts sellers to give them insights on how to better sell their cars faster. At the same time, this is when Carmudi gets feedback on how to improve their services.

5. Robust Filtering and Searching Capabilities

Customers can filter searches by any means that they wish, from brand to model and year to price. If this is not enough, further filters such as age, mileage and even color are also available to make sure that customers are able to find exactly what they want. More features will be added shortly.

6. Share Listings on Social Media

Carmudi allows users to share listings on various social platforms to gain opinions from friends and family if they are unsure.

7. Set Listings as Favorites

Carmudi allows for setting listings as favorites so that they get instant notifications on their favorite rides.

8. Global App for Android Devices

The Carmudi website has an equivalent mobile application which runs on Android. The Carmudi mobile app gives users an excellent experience of buying cars while on the move, thus allowing them the same sense of ease and comfort out and about as they would experience in front of their PCs at home. This mobile app has been released only last month (July 23, 2014), and more and more tech-savvy Filipinos are already using it. Check it out on Google Play Store! 🙂

Wrap Up

Powered by Rocket Internet, Carmudi operates in 15 countries and is now ready to set to change the experience of shopping for car enthusiasts in the Philippines. The website, carrmudi.com.ph, was founded in 2013 and is envisioned to be a one-stop shop for vehicles. Everything you need to know about vehicles will be there–from maintenance videos to financing options to repair shops.

Also, with the new mobile app, Carmudi is changing the way consumers search and shop for cars, as mobile phones account for more than a third of the internet usage in the emerging world.

It goes hand in hand with the brand’s thrust to get everyone, especially women, to get involved in a physical routine to strengthen the bones together with regular intake of calcium supplement.”

Calcium You Can Chew

In addition to weight bearing exercises, a daily dose of calcium supplement is also necessary to strengthen the bones and prevent or delay the onset of skeletal diseases such as osteoporosis, the “silent disease” that has claimed thousands of lives across the world.

Pascual Laboratories’ CalChews is packed with the recommended calcium level to supplement daily calcium needs. It is fortified with Vitamins D3 and K1, which play a critical role for calcium to be effectively processed in the body. Vitamin D3 is essential for promoting calcium absorption while Vitamin K1 keeps calcium in the bone where it belongs, and helps prevent heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s disease among others.

Unlike other calcium supplements that require a lot of effort to be taken, CalChews also sits right at the forefront of ease and convenience, being the only calcium supplement that one can chew like a soft candy. There is no need to prepare complicated mixtures or deal with large capsules that are difficult to swallow.

CalChews comes is two delicious variants that calcium takers will surely love – the classic taste of Rich Chocolate, and the sweet goodness of Creamy Caramel.

Straighten Up and Stand Strong

Having strong and healthy bones is one of the many ways to boost a woman’s confidence and self-esteem, which, ultimately allows here to achieve more and be able to do the things she wants. Regular intake of calcium coupled with regular exercise and proper diet are essential to help women prevent or delay the onset of bone disease. Calcium is important for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth, and also helps the heart, nerves, muscles, and other body systems work properly.

CalChews has found a way to let women get their daily serving of calcium in an easy and tasty way. It is also packed with several other nutrients that make calcium function correctly. With strong bones, women will be able to make the most out of their active life.

In every generation, there emerges a language (lingo) that its people alone understand. The same is true with every nation over the globe. Bringing the topic closer to home, let’s put the Philippines as an instance. For a country with 11 recognized languages and over 175 dialects spoken throughout its islands, the Philippines today has also ingrained in its popular culture a distinctive form of communication known as Filipino slang.

A hodgepodge of preexisting languages, Filipino slang is highly dynamic compared to the usual colloquialisms and allows for more freedom of expression among its speakers. Words and phrases don’t follow a standardized set of rules and can flow from Taglish to celebrity names to gay lingo or be a mix of all set with new meanings in different contexts.

OMG! Filipino Flair Reaches WeChat’s Sticker Gallery

As Filipino slang gets more recognized as a language of everyday usage, one of the country’s top social mobile apps WeChat joins in the bandwagon of color and humor as it releases 16 animated stickers that reflect the wit, candor, and inventiveness that Filipinos apply to such slangs.

About to wing an emergency meeting? Send out a “Bahala na si Batman!” sticker to your teammate to lighten up the air. An excellent presentation could also garner a “Boom!” at the end of the day to highlight a job well done. On the other hand, if your sister is about to begin a new project, stickers like “Push mo yan!” and “Gorabels!” could give her a quick confidence boost.

Infusing “fun” to make something pleasurable, many of us post daily commentaries that go from random fascinations to substantial opinions on the web. I give a chuckle of amusement on how certain people can do just that—filling conversations jolted with entertainment value. 😛

In this post, we delve into the topics that headline the internet culture of Filipinos—of which the most active are university students and young professionals aged 16-24—and discover how social media apps such as WeChat have become influences as to why our smartphones, tablets and desktops have evolved into our amusement favorites.

A Digital Anatomy: What Filipino Online Entertainment Is Made Of

1. The Political Brainwave

From peace processes with the Bangsamoro to the never-ending issue of pork barrel allocations, the Internet brims with political news on a minute-to-minute basis, thanks to the presence of local social news networks as well as online versions of broadsheets and television news channels.

With real-time information made more shareable today, our online conversations have been bustling with the topic of politics—making it the topic discussed by 55% of internet users and 57% of WeChat users.

2.  The Superstar Reflex

Idolizing people has been ingrained in our social culture so much so that our television screens and online news feeds are studded with the presence of personalities.

Entertained by the goings-on of these influential people, 54% of average internet users and 55% of WeChat users go online for their daily fix of celebrity news and gossip, which they are able to satiate through photo updates, video clips, and other multimedia posts.

3.  Nerves of Speed

It’s no surprise why events such as the recently concluded Manila International Auto Show are such big hits in the country. With various modes of transportation—from Philippine jeepneys to foreign race cars—vying for the “king of the road” title, automobiles and the functions that make them parts of Filipinos’ daily lives have become the third most talked about topics across social networking services.

4. Adventure Hormones

Summer has dawned upon our side of the world which is probably why most of us are into the subject of adventure, sports, and wildlife.

The study reveals that 51% of average internet users and 55% of WeChat users talk about adrenaline-inducing activities—be it of surfing through the waves of La Union or booking trips to the Labor Day zone that is Boracay.

5. The Beauty Bone

With more and more lifestyles open to influence by technology, clicking through 5-minute tutorials and looking up reviews online have become more rampant to those who are in the topic of beauty, which is the fifth conversation driver in the local internet scene.

Through videos and photos, experts and enthusiasts are now more easily able to engage in such health and beauty-related exchanges. Consequently, WeChat users are into similar topics but more for their furry friends with 57% talking about pet grooming and care.
