Since many e-commerce platforms in the Philippines allow the existence of cross-border merchants and cross-border logistics models, and the Philippine government currently does not have strict company establishment requirements and supervision for the B2C e-commerce industry, the cross-border e-commerce market in the Philippines is very attractive to most foreign cross-border e-commerce companies.
