Filipinos are shopping a lot more than they’ve ever been,&quot; Alimurung said.This year, fashion, travel goods and baby diapers were the hot sellers, he said.Aside from Lazada rival Shoppee, Cebu Pacific and AirAsia also announced one-day sales on Wednesday, 12-12.Shopee on Friday said a “record-breaking” 12 million orders were made in Southeast Asia during its 12.12 Big Christmas Sale last Dec. 12.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/11/11/18/from-baby-diapers-to-luxury-cars-lazada-sees-double-1111-sales-this-year">From baby diapers to luxury cars: Lazada sees double 11.11 sales this year</a></li></ul>Resolving trust issues between buyers and sellers in the online marketplace can help e-commerce increase its share in total retail, currently at 5 percent, he said.&quot;Because of addressing the trust, you see the kind of growth we see,&quot; he said.E-commerce also emboldens entrepreneurs to sell almost anything online, giving consumers a wider choice by just tapping on their mobile screens.Alimurung said 2018 was a year of growth with the launch of <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/08/31/18/lazada-goes-premium-fights-fakes-with-first-mall" target="_blank">Lazmall</a>, additional business tools and their <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/11/11/18/lazada-invests-massively-on-logistics-to-enhance-customer-experience" target="_blank">warehouse</a> in Cabuyao, Laguna.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/08/31/18/lazada-goes-premium-fights-fakes-with-first-mall">Lazada goes premium, fights fakes with first &#x27;mall&#x27;</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/09/04/18/where-henry-sy-is-king-of-retail-lazada-bets-on-youtube-generation">Where Henry Sy is king of retail, Lazada bets on YouTube generation</a></li></ul>
