SM CITY MINDPRO ACTIVATES OPERATION TULONG EXPRESS (OPTE) TO AID TUGBUNGAN FIRE VICTIMS

In the wake of the devastating fire that struck Calle Basa, Tugbungan on December 27, SM, a steadfast advocate for community welfare, has swiftly activated Operation Tulong Express (OPTE) to provide urgent assistance to the affected residents.

SM City Mindpro Mall Manager Aileen Ann Villa-Enriquez shares an inspiring message to the fire victims of Calle Basa, Tugbungan temporarily housed in Cabatangan Evacuation Center.

The fire, which tragically displaced two hundred sixty three (263) families and caused substantial damage, has prompted a coordinated response from SM. Operation Tulong Express (OPTE) was initiated to address the most pressing needs of the fire victims and to offer swift relief during this challenging time.

Through its OPTE program, employee volunteers of SM City Mindpro distributed the relief packs containing rice, noodles, bottled water, and canned goods to 263 families at Tugbungan Barangay Hall and evacuees temporarily housed in Cabatangan Evacuation Center.



Fulfilling its “Supporting Communities” promise, SM Foundation serves communities through outreach initiatives like this, as well as provide customers nationwide with relevant and helpful services.
