'Saan Meron' helps you find what you're looking for amid the extended ECQ

By Racquel Quieta

Although the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) was established to help curb the spread of COVID-19, it has also given birth to some inconveniences and challenges.

Nowadays, finding the products or services that you need can be somewhat difficult. The physical stores of non-essential businesses are not open, and the ban on public transportation and stringent quarantine protocols in some areas can make it even more challenging.

Thus, many people have turned to online shopping platforms in buying essentials.

But, what if you're looking for something not available in most of the existing online shopping platforms? Where do you look for help?

This is where the crowdsourcing group 'Saan Meron' enters the picture.

'Saan Meron' aims to help people who are looking for products and services that are not available on most online shopping apps.
