Get ready for “Barangay Shopee” and be the hero of your community today!

Shopee introduces Barangay Shopee, the newest initiative under its Shopee Bayanihan CSR program. Barangay Shopee is designed to help communities in need by allowing Filipinos to win a sponsored community project for their barangay. This is just in time for its much-anticipated double day sale, the 9.9 Super Shopping Day.

This is a contest that enables Shopee users from all over the Philippines to be the hero of their barangay. The winning barangay gets the chance to win a community project. This project will definitely address the needs of their barangay. 

Winners of the contest can choose their own community project that all members of their barangay can benefit from, such as a new basketball court, multi-purpose hall renovation, public school supplies, and other community-building projects.

Starting August 25 up to September 9, users can join Barangay Shopee by posting video entries on Facebook and submitting the link via the Barangay Shopee page in the app. Joining the online contest can be done in three simple steps:

• 1. Create a 1-2 minute video with at least 3 barangay members and answer the questions:
• Bakit kayo ang dapat tawagin na “Barangay Shopee”?
• Paano pwedeng tulungan ng Shopee ang inyong Barangay?
• 2. Post the video on Facebook, following these requirements:
• Follow and tag @ShopeePH on Facebook
• Post is public
• Use the hashtag #BarangayShopee in the caption
• 3. Submit the link to your video via the Barangay Shopee page in the Shopee app.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, shared “We are thrilled to be launching our newest initiative, Barangay Shopee. In everything that we do, we work towards our main mission of bettering the lives of our users, sellers, and communities through technology. Through Barangay Shopee, our goal is to foster the community spirit of barangays from all over the Philippines, and uplift them by providing them with a community project that their whole barangay can benefit from. We look forward to crafting even more initiatives that will help make e-commerce more accessible for all.”

Barangay Shopee is the newest initiative under Shopee Bayanihan, the company's umbrella CSR  program that seeks to harness the power of technology to help communities benefit from digital transformation, wherever they are in the Philippines.
