\u201cOLX today is all about the connections and lifestyle created through the simple act of buying and selling,\u201d explains Giancarlo Bonsel, General Manager at OLX Philippines. \u201cThrough our platform, we connect people with one another to create value with each transaction and in time, foster relationships that enable a growing, supportive community that wins together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cris Concepcion, Chief Marketing Officer at OLX Philippines, says, \u201cWe believe that buying and selling go beyond its practical functions. The exchanges between buyers and sellers create a community where everybody wins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bonsel said the OLX platform is free and it is great on people to start creating value together with the platform. It has value-added services and guarantees authenticity of products.<\/p>\n

Bonsel claims the platform has an online community of eight million users, making it the largest buy and sell platform within the Philippines. With over 40,000 new listings placed every day, OLX continues to respond to the community\u2019s needs and demands and with the firm\u2019s new campaign, it aims to be more efficient, convenient and safe to improve lives of Filipinos.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe rely on this community to protect each other and encourage buyers and sellers to provide feedbacks. We also have a local team that assists people on the ground to ensure that we have the pulse of the market,\u201d said Bonsel.<\/p>\n

The platform empowers local communities by turning their pre-owned goods into opportunities such as helping more individuals continue their passions; take part in saving the environment; and even contributing to the development of a sustainable and renewable economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope our platform continues to be part of motivating more people to create communities engaging in winning exchanges,\u201d said Bonsel.<\/p>\n
