Ace Hardware Helps Rebuild Lives

While the series of typhoons late last year has gone, many of those severely affected are still trying to rebuild their lives. To help fast-track recovery, ACE Hardware staff recently donated needed items such as bed & mats, PPEs, and cleaning materials to affected Kasiglahan Village residents in Rodriguez, Rizal. This activity was done jointly with SM Foundation and the local DSWD chapter.

The ACE Hardware team turns over the donations to the residents of Kasiglahan Village Rodriguez Rizal with SM Foundation and DSWD.

To fulfill its "Helpful Place" promise, ACE Hardware serves communities through outreach initiatives like this, as well as provide customers nationwide with relevant and helpful products.

The Kasiglahan Village residents received donations of beds, mats, cleaning materials, and PPE's from ACE Hardware that will help them rebuild their homes and keep their families safe from the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

SM City Mindpro: A pet-friendly mall in Zamboanga City

 

Pet owners enjoying their leisure time with their fur friends. 

Having difficulty leaving your pets at home while you have to carry out some errands? Worry no more! Another city’s first, the furry member of the family finds another home inside a mall as SM City Mindpro open doors to cute pets, letting them in and bond with their masters.

Responsible pethood means taking good care of your little fella’s well-being and one way to do it is to bond with them whenever and wherever inside a mall.

Simply make your animal pets feel special by taking extra care while inside the mall: your pet can be hand-carried, inside a carrier or let them walk with a leash but when your little fur friend leaves a mark, clean as you go.

SM City Mindpro love pets and we want them be part of your leisure time. Bring them in and have a #safemallingfun at SM City Mindpro!

SM ushers in the New Year with “Beacon of Hope” Spectacle

 

As the year draws to a close, SM Supermalls lights up the sky with a heart-warming visual spectacle themed as “Beacon of Hope” to welcome 2021 in high spirits. 

 

Released on SM Supermalls Facebook page on New Year’s Eve, the Beacon of Hope video shows select SM malls across the country illuminating the night with bright and colorful virtual projection mapping on mall’s facade. Each mall highlights a virtue through a dazzling light show and a stunning exhibition of glowing shapes and images to create a memorable and moving visual display.  

SM Aura Premier embodies ‘grace’ while SM City Clark radiates ‘joy.’ SM Megamall brings sparkle as it embodies ‘light’ while SM City Puerto Princesa displays ‘peace’ with a gleaming image of a dove as a symbol. SM CDO Downtown Premier shows ‘care’ while SM Southmall emphasizes the need to ‘share.’

SM City Dasmariñas celebrates ‘service’ to honor the frontliners as SM Lanang Premier underlines the importance of having a ‘safe’ space. SM City Fairview spreads ‘fun’ while SM North Edsa sparks ‘love’ with a hearty, light show. SM Seaside City Cebu stresses the value of ‘togetherness’ while SM Mall of Asia brings ‘hope’ that we will all rise and heal as one. The remaining SM malls nationwide also join the festivity as they lit up their respective facades with their own bright holiday decorations.

“SM aims to spur optimism as we bid goodbye to a challenging 2020 and prepare for a fresh start in 2021. We continue to stand with our community even during tough times, and now as we face the New Year together with a renewed hope and joy,” said SM Supermalls President Steven Tan.
