Cebuanos have finally recognized the potential monetary value of unused items in their household,” says RJ David, co-founder and CEO of OLX Philippines.

Other OLX campaigns

According to the OLX recorded data, an average of 2000 posted ads for secondhand items every day are done by Cebuano sellers, making the company’s advocacy a truly beneficial and effective way to garner money.
