MANILA - While the e-commerce industry was one of the few businesses that thrived during the worldwide crisis, gender parity in Philippine-based online shopping companies also took a significant dip,

according to a study by an e-commerce aggregator.

That said, Filipinas may be taking care of their children, who are coerced to be educated at home, ” iPrice reasoned.
