    Your Vibe, Your Tribe: SM Supermalls Drops New Anthem “Gala To The Max” by DNA

    Forget the usual mall run; it’s time for a total vibe check. SM Supermalls, in an electrifying partnership with StarPop, has officially pulled the curtain back on its newest anthem, “Gala To The Max.” Performed by the rising group DNA, the track is more than just a catchy earworm; it’s a tribute to the way we hang out today.

    The message is clear: SM isn’t just a place to buy things. It’s your “third space.” It’s where you meet the crew, find your community, and—as the song says—live life to the max at your most loved mall.

    More Than a Destination, It’s a Mood. “Gala To The Max” captures the essence of what it means to visit SM. Whether you’re there for a fitness milestone, a deep dive into your favorite fandom, a gaming marathon, or just a chill afternoon with your furbabies, SM remains the ultimate backdrop for every subculture.

    SM Supermalls Executive Vice President for Marketing JonJon San Agustin emphasizes that the mall is an extension of the shoppers’ identity, “At SM, we’ve always been about creating spaces where memories are made. With ‘Gala To The Max,’ we’re celebrating that unique energy our shoppers bring. It’s about your vibe and your tribe. Whether you’re here to play, shop, or just hang out, we want you to feel that this is your space, the most loved mall that truly fits your lifestyle.”

    The Soundtrack to Your Next LSS

    Produced alongside StarPop, the track features the high-energy vocals of DNA, a trio of sisters composed of Ezri, Julia, and Tasha. The song is designed to be the definitive background score for every TikTok transition and weekend hangout.

    Tasha, a member of DNA, shared her excitement about the track’s infectious energy, “Recording this song was such a blast because it’s exactly how we feel when we’re out with the crew. We wanted to bring that fun, ‘no-pressure’ energy to the track. We hope that when people hear it while they’re at the mall, they can’t help but move, vibe, and just enjoy the moment. It’s definitely going to be your new summer LSS!”

    Join the Movement
    The official rollout begins this weekend across all SM malls nationwide. With more music and more reasons to stay longer than you planned, SM is officially calling on the community to show off their moves. Come as you are, bring your tribe, and show the world how you gala to the max.

    SM celebrates Women’s Month by moving conversation into meaningful action

    SM celebrates Women’s Month by moving conversation into meaningful action

    In line with the theme “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls” SM Supermalls celebrated Women’s Month 2026 through a series of collaborative initiatives that sought to elevate conversations on matters that affect women into meaningful actions.

    Through its Corporate Social Responsibility arm, SM Cares, and in partnership with United Nations Philippines, the Philippine Commission on Women, the Quezon City Government, and various civil society and youth organizations, SM led a united effort to empower communities in the advancement of gender equality, maternal health, and social awareness.

    SM malls served as the convergence point where Youth leaders, women’s advocates, government partners, and community organizations gathered to open dialogues that sought to break down barriers, challenge harmful norms, and create more opportunities all for women and girls everywhere.

    “At SM, we continue to create the most-loved spaces where women are empowered to lead, grow, and thrive. Our commitment goes beyond opportunity—it is about building inclusive environments where every woman and girl feels supported, valued, and able to reach her full potential,” said Atty. Pearly Joan Jayagan Turley, Senior Assistant Vice President of SM Supermalls and Program Director for SM Cares for Women and Breastfeeding Mothers.

    Purple illumination signals start of Women’s Month
    Kicking off women’s month, SM Cares launched an advocacy campaign on March 2, with the iconic SM Mall of Asia Globe illuminated in purple, the global color symbolizing dignity and justice for women. The lighting served as a powerful visual call to action that launched the month-long advocacy and reinforced public awareness of the International Women’s Day campaign.

    Youth leadership at the center of International Women’s Day celebration
    The centerpiece of the month-long celebration was the International Women’s Day 2026 Youth Celebration, titled “Youth Rising: Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,” held on March 10 at the SM North EDSA Skydome. The landmark gathering convened young leaders, advocates, and organizations to engage in discussions on gender equality, climate justice, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and gender-based violence prevention.

    The event featured panel discussions, TED-style talks, and a Challenge and Solutions Lab, with 47 youth organizations and schools such as National University Fairview, Nazareth, and Ortigas; the National Youth Commission; Philippine Science High School Main Campus and Central Luzon Campus, as well as the University of the Philippines Los Baños—all collaborating to develop ideas for advancing equality and justice.

    Supporting women’s health through “Gatas ng Buhay”
    As part of its Women’s Month activities, SM Cares also supported maternal and child health through the “Gatas ng Buhay” milk-letting activity held on March 20 at SM Fairview in partnership with the Quezon City Human Milk Bank and Quezon City General Hospital.

    The program featured expert-led sessions on breastfeeding guidance, newborn care, maternal nutrition, and the importance of human milk banking, while also conducting a simultaneous milk-letting activity to support infants in need.

    This year’s milk letting activity yielded more than 18,000 ml of breast milk that could feed around 75 babies in a day—23% higher than the previous year.

    Be part of the movement for gender equality—join SM Cares in supporting programs that empower women and girls and help build more inclusive communities. Learn more at https://www.smsupermalls.com/smcares.

    As the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of SM Supermalls, SM Cares is focused on enriching the lives of Filipinos through socially-conscious and environmentally-responsible programs meant to Empower Communities into long-lasting, impactful improvement.

    SM Stands ALL for Down: All SM Malls Unite Nationwide for World Down Syndrome Day

    SM Stands ALL for Down: All SM Malls Unite Nationwide for World Down Syndrome Day

    In celebration of World Down Syndrome Day (March 21), SM mounted a unified, nationwide activation through its Corporate Social Responsibility arm, SM Cares. The activation reaffirms SM’s long-standing commitment to becoming a truly inclusive Mall for All where every individual is welcomed, respected, and valued.

    Observed every 3/21 to symbolize the triplication of the 21st chromosome that causes Down syndrome, the global awareness day became more than a date on the calendar for SM. Through its nationwide reach, SM empowered its surrounding communities through every-day, synchronized advocacy in their most-loved SM Supermalls.

    One Mic, One Message — Real Voices, Real Inclusion
    At the heart of the nationwide campaign was “One Mic, One Message: For the Down Syndrome Community.”

    Special installations of standing microphones were set up in each SM Mall nationwide to invite employees, frontliners, and customers to share one sincere message for the Down syndrome community.

    Raw and authentic messages from mall managers to everyday mallgoers affirmed dignity, belonging, and respect for those with Down Syndrome:
    “You belong here.”
    “You are seen, valued, and respected.”
    “This space is for you, too.”

    Mall Managers led the closing messages in each location, reinforcing that the commitment to inclusivity begins with leadership and is carried through every level of the organization.

    Inclusion in Action: Training, Standards, and Everyday Practice
    SM also strengthened its operational commitment through comprehensive Sensitivity Training initiatives for mall teams, tenants, security personnel, janitorial staff, and all customer-facing frontliners.

    Watch parties were organized reinforce proper assistance, respectful communication, and dignified support for persons with disabilities. “All for Down” guide posters were also installed in high-visibility employee areas and cascaded to tenants to serve as daily reminders of inclusive service standards.

    A Nationwide Movement Continues
    The March 21 activations aim to builds momentum toward a much larger, unifying moment: the SM Cares Happy Walk on March 29, expected to gather over 6,000 participants nationwide.

    From Luzon to Mindanao, families, advocates, employees, and partners will come together in a collective show of solidarity—further proving that SM’s support for the Down syndrome community is year-round, sustained through programs, safe spaces, and nationwide gatherings that celebrate ability, dignity, and belonging.

    Through unified nationwide initiatives like “SM is All for Down,” SM Cares affirms that inclusion is at the heart of how SM builds experiences—for customers, for families, and for future generations.

    About SM Cares
    As the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of SM Supermalls, SM Cares is focused on enriching the lives of Filipinos through socially-conscious and environmentally-responsible programs meant to Empower Communities into long-lasting, impactful improvement.

    SM Cares Coastal Cleanup 2024 omnibus PR

    SM Cares Coastal Cleanup 2024 omnibus PR

     How 27,000 SM employees and volunteers create an impact for a waste-free future

    Environmental stewardship is more important than ever, and through large-scale coastal cleanup initiatives, communities are rallying together to protect the world’s seas and oceans. By partnering with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Local Government Units (LGUs), private sector organizations, and passionate individuals, these efforts continue to inspire thousands of volunteers to take meaningful action, demonstrating the crucial role of collective engagement in preserving marine ecosystems.

    Over 155,000 kg of trash are collected in total by volunteers from 16 SM Supermalls nationwide – SM by the BAY, SM Center Tuguegarao Downtown, SM City Tuguegarao, SM City Olongapo Central, SM City Olongapo Downtown, SM City Bataan, SM City La Union, SM City Puerto Princesa, SM City Daet, SM City Sorsogon, SM City Roxas, SM City Legazpi, SM City General Santos, SM City Mindpro, SM City Cebu, and SM Seaside City Cebu.

    Marine pollution remains a pressing global crisis, with millions of tons of waste polluting oceans annually, endangering marine life, ecosystems, and human health. Coastal cleanups play a crucial role in mitigating this problem by removing waste before it spreads further into the seas. Through large-scale coastal cleanup initiatives, SM Cares not only reduces pollution but also raises public awareness about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems and the power of collective action in addressing environmental challenges.

    More than 27,000 volunteers from the public, private, and academic sectors participate in this year’s coastal cleanups, highlighting the power of community-driven action.

    Beyond cleanup efforts, SM Cares promotes environmental consciousness by empowering communities to adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives. These coastal cleanups are part of SM Cares’ broader Programs on Environment, which focus on promoting sustainable solutions and tackling various environmental issues. With its commitment to creating a Waste-Free Future, SM Cares continues to inspire community-driven actions for a cleaner, healthier planet.

    Employee volunteers from SM Seaside Cebu and SM City Cebu sort through collected waste – amplifying the company’s goal of a Waste-Free Future even during coastal cleanup activities.

    SM City La Union employees demonstrate their early involvement in making a positive impact for the community from day one.

    This year, SM Cares, the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Supermalls, held quarterly coastal cleanup events that showcased the power of collective action. With the help of more than 27,000 volunteers, including SM employees, mall tenants, affiliates, and individuals from the public, private, and academic sectors, SM Cares collected more than 155,000 kg of waste, underscoring its commitment to tackling marine pollution and protecting aquatic life through community action.

    SM Cares collaborates with local government units, private organizations, and communities to ensure the success of its coastal cleanup programs.

    SM Cares is the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Supermalls, supporting initiatives focused on communities and the environment. Its advocacies include Programs for the Environment, Persons with Disabilities, Women and Breastfeeding Mothers, Children and Youth, Senior Citizens, and the SM Bike-friendly initiative.
