Stand Proud and Celebrate being Filipino with SM City Mindpro

As our national hero, Jose Rizal once said, ‘He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.’ Tracing one’s roots is important to building one’s character. It is crucial to keep your feet on the ground as you reach greater heights. The same rings true for all Filipinos; we cannot truly appreciate the freedom we enjoy today without being aware of what our ancestors have fought for to gain our independence.

To celebrate the Philippine Independence Day, SM City Mindpro will be holding activities to commemorate this national holiday and encourage Pinoys to further embrace Filipino culture.

Buy Local, Buy Pinoy! Support local businesses, buy fresh local produce and other specialty items from SM’s affiliates, tenants, and MSMEs through the Buy Pinoy pop-up stores. Shop the best locally-made clothes, souvenirs, and décors brought to you by only the best Filipino businesses from June 1 to June 12, 2022.

Indulge yourself with the best Pinoy Eats! As a champion of local MSMEs, SM Supermalls will spoil you with Filipino cuisine options and other local products from June 1-12. Savor the diverse and rich Filipino food offerings and have a taste of the best Pinoy dishes and treats from our local MSMEs. Enjoy special promotions during this period when you order your favorite Pinoy Eats online: https://bit.ly/3Q2kXso

“SM Supermalls have always celebrated Pinoy pride through various events where we get to appreciate our culture and express our gratitude to the heroes of past and present. The Philippine Independence Day should never be taken for granted, because holding our national pride and heritage in high regard is what makes us true-blooded Filipinos through and through. We encourage everyone to join us as we celebrate freedom at SM Supermalls” Steven T. Tan, President of SM Supermalls, said.

Share Shoes Using Your SMAC Points

Help raise 3,000,000 SMAC points to provide 10,000 pairs of shoes and give Filipino kids access to footwear.

Early this year, The SM Store and SM Foundation partnered with Caritas Philippines and DSWD to distribute more than 300,000 new pairs of shoes to communities nationwide, including indigent and vulnerable children.

You, too, can make a difference! Starting May 15, you can donate your SMAC points to help purchase new shoes for World Vision and SM Foundation kids.

“Shoes are essential; they help protect our feet. But not everyone has access to a decent pair of shoes. Through the Share Shoes Program of The SM Store and SM Foundation, we are able to distribute shoes to people who need them most,” said Rose Siaco, Vice President of The SM Store.

From May 15 to July 31, shoppers can Share Shoes by donating their SMAC points. Accumulated points will be used to purchase new shoes for the children of World Vision and SM Foundation. Participating cards include SM Advantage Card (SMAC), SMAC Prestige, and BDO SMAC.

To donate, just log on to www.smac.ph, click Transfer Points, enter shareshoes@smac.ph, and encode the number of points you wish to donate.

The SM Store’s corporate social responsibility programs Share Your Extras, Share Shoes, Donate-A-Book, and Share-A-Toy are implemented in partnership with its customers and SM Foundation with a shared mission of bringing cheers to communities. All branches of The SM Store also house coin boxes for UNICEF, Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Good Neighbors Philippines, and World Vision.
