ABSTRACT

The study was conducted to determine the role that e-commerce played in terms of the flow of goods and services during the pandemic. Data were collected based on facebook activity in terms of the goods purchased by the client and products advertised by the seller. Feeds from Facebook friends’ accounts specifically walls, tags, and messengers were monitored. The study showed that food was the most purchased product, followed by fashion items and health and beauty products whose main patrons are the females. Electronic products were least purchased and with the males who did a relatively higher frequency of purchase. It can be deduced that while there was a problem in the supply of basic goods and services, online selling augmented this deficiency. E-commerce therefore is a promising industry specially in times of crisis such as the current pandemic. With the promising role that online commerce presents, this kind of platform need to be further assessed for improvement in the delivery of goods and services to which it offers.
