With millions of Filipinos facing a gloomy Christmas due to unemployment and the recession brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, a Pinoy-bred e-commerce platform goes head-to-head against larger e-commerce companies as part of a mission to empower Filipino sellers and customers with hope through a new digital marketplace “with a heart for Filipinos”.

“What many e-commerce companies lack today is compassion, and VeMoBro is here to bring that to our sellers and customers. We know we’re up against e-commerce giants, but what we can offer is unique because we’re 100 percent Filipino-made,” Vergil Bargola, founder and CEO of VeMoBro, said.
