The Philippines's government will soon have an online shopping platform called the eMarketplace. Pangandaman and Dennis Santiago, Procurement Service (PS)-DBM Executive Director, have announced the eMarketplace - one of the proposed amendments to Republic Act (RA) 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act (GPRA). It is described that the eMarketplace will be similar to Lazada and Shopee. There's no official date for the release of eMarketplace. "Over the past decade, Mynt has evolved from an e-wallet operator into the Philippines' number one finance superapp and largest cashless ecosystem," said Mynt President and CEO Martha Sazon. Mynt said a public listing could also help highlight the growth of the local technology and fintech sector, while promoting the Philippines as a hub for innovation in Southeast Asia. Garmin has expanded its running ecosystem in the Philippines with the launch of the new Forerunner 70 and Forerunner 170 smartwatches, the introduction of Garmin Pay, and the announcement of the 2026 Garmin Run Philippines event. Garmin Pay is now available in the Philippines through partnerships with GoTyme Bank and EastWest Bank, with support for Visa and Mastercard payment networks.
