Dear CITEM,
I am currently working on my thesis entitled, Philippine MSMLEs, are they Cross-Border Ready? Riding the E-Commerce Wave in the ASEAN Region.
In line with this, I would like to kindly ask for an updated data on Philippine Sourcebook DB. I will use the data in mapping out the MSMEs in the country and the readiness of the infrastructures and policies that will enable MSMEs to conquer E-Commerce in the region.
Thank you and keep safe.
Regards,
Claudia Espinosa
