In commemoration of Labor Day last May 1, SM Supermalls reaffirmed its
commitment to fostering employment opportunities for Filipinos by hosting
simultaneous nationwide job fairs. Partnering with the Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE), Public Employment Service Offices (PESO), Local Government
Units (LGUs), industry associations, and SM Retail, SM Supermalls proudly
facilitated these events as part of its community efforts.

As one of the largest job creators in the Philippines, SM Supermalls
is dedicated to reducing unemployment by holding weekly job fairs across its
extensive network of malls. During the May 1 job fair alone, SM Supermalls
welcomed nearly 20,000 job seekers, with a significant number receiving
on-the-spot job offers, totaling more than 2,000 newly employed individuals.
This demonstrates the effectiveness of these initiatives in connecting
individuals with immediate employment opportunities.

SM Supermalls also announced its continued commitment to job creation
by hosting weekly job fairs every month until November. These events, held in
collaboration with government agencies, industry associations, and private
sector partners, aim to provide Filipinos with access to diverse employment
opportunities in sectors such as retail, Food and Beverage (F&B),
Information Technology (IT), and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).

“The SM Group is invested in market-leading businesses that are
innovative and relevant to the needs of the Filipino, to strengthen the private
sector's role in nation-building,” remarked SM Supermalls’ President
Steven Tan. “By hosting weekly job fairs, we are not only connecting individuals
with employment opportunities but also supporting the growth of industries
crucial to the Philippine economy.”
