We could not really say that we lost Sulit since it's just been gobbled up twice and now transformed to Carousell. Yet, there's that little space in our hearts that tells us Sulit is gone. It is no secret how Sulit became the Philippine's internet superstar since its inception in 2006. Before Sulit, there was Buy&Sell Philippines, the company behind the free classified ads magazine.
