You can’t trust anything — or anyone — to be consistent these days. COVID-19 cases are low one day and high the next, we get to move about for a week and then here comes the ECQ. But at least there’s one thing that’s consistent every month — online shopping sales. Welcome August with a much-needed therapy thanks to Lazada’s 8.8 Love Local Sale.

For August, Lazada teams up with the Department of Trade and Industry to help boost local MSMEs. The Lazada 8.8 Love Lokal Sale will be from August 8 to 12. It will feature a blend of Philippine cuisine and Filipino craftsmanship through the official launch of the Lazada Go Lokal! Concept Store.
