While commerce has remained a core function in society, the process and nature of the way people do trade have changed greatly throughout the centuries.

The History of Philippine Trade
In the Philippines, it all started with what we know as barter – a manual exchange of “item for item”, oftentimes without the use of money. Neighboring tribes in the country would use barter to trade items or services of equal value, such as 3 hours of labor for a meal.
Chinese merchants
This changed in the 2nd Century AD, upon the arrival of the Chinese as the first foreign traders in the country. Local products were exchanged for corals, gold, cotton, and pearls, some of which can be considered early forms of currency.
The Arrival of the Spaniards

In 1565, the Spaniards marked their first settlement in Cebu when they sought to acquire a share in the lucrative spice trade. It was during this same period that the Royal Company of the Philippines was abolished, making Manila an open port for global traders. This welcomed business from all corners of the world, dubbing the Philippines as the center for commerce in the East.
Americans land on Leyte

During the American period, a distinct advantage that Filipinos gained was access to education. No longer reserved for the privileged, education and a grasp of the English language propelled even the average Filipino further forward into the trade market, allowing him to sell local crops and goods to foreign bodies.
The Millenial Filipino

Through years of exposure to both local and foreign trade, the modern-day Filipino was born with an entrepreneurial spirit; according to research, millennial entrepreneurs have launched at least twice as many businesses compared to their Baby Booming predecessors.
In fact, 55% of millennials in a local study indicated owning a successful business and reaching financial independence as an important value in their lives. Luckily for this generation, they are equipped with a highly distinct tool that allows them to fulfill their entrepreneurial aspirations – the internet.
The internet has changed the way people live, think, and do business. With the emergence of e-commerce, international trade became possible on an individual level. The definition of a free market has found itself in its truest form, with sellers at liberty to position their own products and pricing, and consumers at free reign to choose what they buy.
Lazada opens in the Philippines
In 2012, e-commerce was made known to the Philippine landscape through the entry of a company named Lazada. In the beginning, Lazada sold goods to Filipinos from its own warehouses. After just a year of operations, however, the business model evolved into a marketplace, inviting third-party brands, retailers, and individuals to sell on the site. Today, the e-commerce giant enjoys market leadership in Philippine e-commerce, with a significant portion of its sales brought in by marketplace deals.

Inanc Balci
A key factor that has allowed Lazada to maintain its position as the market leader is the convenience it provides not just to buyers, but also sellers. It is a one-stop shopping and selling destination that makes it easy for Filipinos to trade across cities, across the archipelago, and even across the globe, all with a few simple clicks. Through this, it may be said that Lazada has paved the way for many Filipinos to fulfill their dreams of entrepreneurship, and reach financial independence.
While competition in the e-commerce playing field is tough, Philippines’ CEO Inanc Balci remains confident of the future. In an interview with Anthony Pangilinan of The Boardroom, Balci states “Lazada will continue evolving. We went from being an e-commerce site, to now an m-commerce (mobile-commerce) site. We will increase the social aspects of it, the assortment, the service, etc.”
“In every way possible, we will continue to evolve the company and be the market leader for years to come. It is one of my life goals to make the Philippines a top e-commerce company in the world”.

Street fashion has been the go-to style of many because it provides an unlimited room for creativity and self-expression while still ensuring comfort. While there is no hard rule on how street style is done, here are some tips to help you keep your street style edgy. We’ve also included some products on sale to help you update your street style collection at a fraction of the cost.
1. Denim rules
Denim is very flexible and can be matched with almost anything!
Feeling a bit dressy but want to keep your jeans? No problem! Pair it with heels and a blazer and you’re ready for a client meeting. For women, check out Freego’s low rise jeans (P1,199.80) and have it paired with these nice Koko black from Parisian (P899.75).
Demin on Denim? Sure! The rule of thumb is to make sure that your denim is of different wash or shade. For men, the blue indigo denim shirt from Wrangler (P1,359.80) paired with Penshoppe’s light blue skinny ripped jeans (P1,099) would look great!
2. Proportions matter
Be ready to roll up your jeans or wear some oversized shirts or jackets.
Just remember that too much of anything is also not good so be sure to keep your lengths to that which you can still comfortably and confidently wear.
For men, Penshoppe’s long line indigo wash tee (P399) pairs well with Oxygen’s distressed cropped jeans (P499).
For women, experiment on high-waist wide-leg pants (P873.03) with your favorite cropped shirt.
3. Love your sneakers
Almost everything goes well with sneakers! When in doubt, go with a pair of classic white sneakers.
Whether you’re planning on wearing shorts, leggings, a dress or even a nice pair of suit, a pair of white sneakers should do well with them. Check out Keds Chillax off-white sneakers for women (P2,695) and Pony’s white Shooter Low canvass sneakers (P2,590).
4. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize
Tiny details that complement your get could bring a boring outfit back to life.
An outfit with a plain white shirt would be so much better when paired with the pink backpack from Pilot (P698) or the blue Herschel Reid backpack (P1,458). Casio’s resin strap watch (P849) also adds a playful vibe with its colorful dial.
For men, give your outfit an astig look with a dog tag necklace from Silverworks (P225). And for a multi-purpose watch that you can serve as your everyday watch, check out the classic watch from Timex (P2,640).
5. Be Yourself
Don’t be afraid to show your personality through your look. Be it through colors or accessories, make sure that what you wear represents you. And most importantly, always remember that thinking of what you should wear next should always be a fun activity.
