The Philippines is one of the most active users of online social sites, and so is home to some of the largest malls in the world (Source: Hufftington). Does it translate to a very active ecommerce scene? or are we merely window shopping? Therefore, is it worthwhile for businesses to go online?

In our first edition of TechTalks.ph Kapihan, let us learn from the David & Goliath of the online marketplace space in the Philippines:

Compared to OLX.ph, Istorya.net can be considered the neighborhood strip mall. With the buzz of burgeoning ecommerce space, is Istorya.net going to that space big time? Or, are they going to be also acquired by Olx.ph? Why should we care about the popularity of ecommerce stores? What's in it for the sellers and buyers? We invite you to this event to find out!
