“At SM, we believe that each person hired positively impacts five
individuals— the average number in a Filipino household. This is why we eagerly
anticipate the continuous announcements of applicants who were
hired-on-the-spot,” said Royston Cabunag, Assistant Vice President for Micro,
Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Job Fairs, and Government Services at SM
