  • SM Supermalls and Go Negosyo Strengthen Partnership to Build More Livelihood Opportunities for Filipinos

    SM Supermalls and Go Negosyo Strengthen Partnership to Build More Livelihood Opportunities for Filipinos

    SM Supermalls and Go Negosyo Strengthen Partnership to Build More Livelihood Opportunities for Filipinos

    Building stronger communities through jobs and entrepreneurship

    A stronger nation begins with empowered communities—and empowered communities begin with opportunities. Recognizing that meaningful employment and entrepreneurship are equally important drivers of economic growth, SM Supermalls and Go Negosyo continue to strengthen their partnership through Trabaho at Negosyo, an initiative that brings together job opportunities, business mentoring, entrepreneurship learning, and government services in one accessible venue. Held on June 27 at SM City Bataan, the event gathered around 400 aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners, and job seekers, providing them with opportunities to learn from industry experts, connect with employers and mentors, and explore practical pathways toward sustainable livelihoods. More than a one-day event, Trabaho at Negosyo reflects a shared commitment to creating inclusive opportunities that enable Filipinos not only to find employment but also to build businesses that generate jobs and contribute to their local communities.

    By combining Go Negosyo’s expertise in entrepreneurship with SM Supermalls’ commitment to creating opportunities where Filipinos can learn, earn, and grow, alongside the support of government and private sector partners, Trabaho at Negosyo fosters an ecosystem that equips aspiring entrepreneurs and job seekers with the knowledge, mentorship, networks, and opportunities to succeed. The initiative recognizes that employment and entrepreneurship are complementary drivers of inclusive growth. Every job created, every business launched, and every entrepreneur empowered contributes to stronger communities and a more resilient Philippine economy.

    The initiative reflects the shared belief that entrepreneurship and employment are complementary drivers of inclusive economic growth. Today’s job seeker can become tomorrow’s entrepreneur, while today’s small business can become tomorrow’s employer—creating a ripple effect that strengthens families, stimulates local economies, and contributes to nation-building.

    “When we empower entrepreneurs, we create opportunities not only for individual success but for entire communities. Every thriving MSME has the potential to generate jobs, inspire innovation, and help build a stronger Philippine economy. Partnerships like Trabaho at Negosyo enable us to bring mentorship, learning, and opportunities closer to more Filipinos,” said Jose Maria ‘Joey’ Concepcion III, Founder of Go Negosyo.

    Echoing this shared commitment, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) continues to champion initiatives that make entrepreneurship more accessible and sustainable. “MSMEs remain the backbone of the Philippine economy. Through strong public-private partnerships, we can provide entrepreneurs with greater access to opportunities, knowledge, and markets that will help them grow, become more competitive, and create more jobs for Filipinos,” said DTI Secretary Cristina A. Roque.

    For SM Supermalls, the partnership reflects its broader mission of creating opportunities that help communities thrive. “SM Supermalls has always believed that our malls can be more than places to shop—they can be platforms where opportunities are created and communities are strengthened. Through our partnership with Go Negosyo and our government partners, we continue to open doors for Filipinos to learn new skills, find meaningful employment, start businesses, and achieve sustainable growth,” said Joaquin L. San Agustin, Executive Vice President for Marketing, SM Supermalls.

    As SM Supermalls and Go Negosyo continue to work together, the partnership serves as a testament to what collaboration can achieve—bringing opportunities closer to Filipinos, empowering entrepreneurs to succeed, creating more jobs, and helping build stronger, more resilient communities. Because when people are given opportunities to learn, earn, and grow, communities flourish. And when communities flourish, the nation moves forward.

    About SM Communities
    SM Communities is SM Supermalls’ platform for creating opportunities that empower Filipinos and strengthen communities. Through flagship initiatives such as SM Job Fairs, Government Service Express (GSE), and SM for MSMEs, including the Weekend Market and Start-Up Market, SM transforms its malls into hubs where people can learn, earn, connect, and grow. By bringing together government, private sector, and community partners, SM Communities creates meaningful pathways toward entrepreneurship, employment, and inclusive economic development—reinforcing SM Supermalls’ commitment to nation-building and creating shared value for every Filipino.

    Your Next Favorite Local Find Awaits at SMFab Finds, Shop Local and Support MSMEs

    June is shaping up to be an exciting month at SM Supermalls—not just for shoppers looking for unique finds, but also for Filipino entrepreneurs ready to take their businesses to the next level.

    Across the country, SM Supermalls continues to open doors for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through a lineup of trade fairs, artisan markets, and entrepreneurship programs designed to connect local businesses with millions of mallgoers. Whether you’re searching for handcrafted products, locally made delicacies, wedding essentials, or even your next business opportunity, there’s something worth discovering this month.

    The journey begins in the Summer Capital as the Artisan Village Market by Silk Events takes over SM Baguio from June 15 to 25. Shoppers can explore a carefully curated collection of handcrafted goods, fashion pieces, home décor, specialty food products, and unique creations from passionate local entrepreneurs and artisans at their most-loved SM mall.

    “Events like these allow small brands like ours to be seen by customers from all over the country. SM provides the exposure and opportunities that help us grow beyond our local communities,” shared one of the participating entrepreneurs.

    Meanwhile, wedding bells are ringing at SM Aura as the DTI Wedding Fair gathers Filipino entrepreneurs from June 24 to 28. From bespoke accessories and giveaways to event essentials and creative services, the fair showcases the talent and innovation of local businesses helping make life’s biggest celebrations even more memorable.

    Food lovers and advocates of local agriculture can also look forward to the Kadiwa Trade Fair at SM Clark from June 26 to 28, where farmers, producers, and MSMEs will bring fresh produce and locally sourced products directly to consumers.

    On June 27, opportunities take center stage at Trabaho at Negosyo in SM Bataan, where jobseekers and aspiring entrepreneurs can explore pathways toward livelihood, employment, and business growth—all under one roof. According to DTI Sec Cris Roque, initiatives like these create meaningful opportunities for entrepreneurs to scale their businesses. “Market access remains one of the biggest challenges for MSMEs. Through partnerships with organizations like SM Supermalls, we are able to provide entrepreneurs with platforms that help them reach more customers, build stronger brands, and contribute to local economic growth.”

    Trabaho at Negosyo tells a bigger story—today’s job seeker can become tomorrow’s employer. By combining job matching, MSME mentoring, and government services in one space, the initiative reflects a forward-thinking approach to workforce development where employment and entrepreneurship reinforce each other. “MSMEs like us contribute to the economy because as we expand, so does our requirements – like manpower, so we are able to contribute through creating jobs.” – JORGE WIENEKE of Tokyo Tempura. As SM Supermalls continues its commitment to championing Filipino entrepreneurship, June serves as another reminder that great things happen when opportunities meet ambition. Through accessible marketplaces, strategic partnerships, and innovative platforms, SM remains dedicated to helping MSMEs grow, succeed, and inspire communities across the country. After all, every successful business starts somewhere—and for many Filipino entrepreneurs, that journey begins at SM.

    1,600 Job Seekers Join DOLE Kalayaan Job Fair at SM City Bataan

    1,600 Job Seekers Join DOLE Kalayaan Job Fair at SM City Bataan

    In celebration of the country’s Independence Day and in support of employment generation efforts, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), in partnership with SM City Bataan, successfully conducted the Kalayaan Job Fair at SM City Bataan, drawing a total of 1,600 registered job seekers.

    The event gathered various local and national employers offering career opportunities across a wide range of industries, providing applicants with direct access to potential employers and valuable employment prospects. Thousands of job seekers took advantage of the opportunity to explore available positions, submit applications, and participate in on-the-spot interviews. The job fair served as an accessible and convenient venue for applicants to connect with companies actively seeking qualified candidates. Among the event’s notable outcomes were four applicants who were hired on the spot (HOTS), highlighting the effectiveness of job fairs in helping individuals secure immediate employment while enabling companies to efficiently fill workforce requirements.

    The Kalayaan Job Fair is part of DOLE’s continuing commitment to promoting employment and improving access to livelihood opportunities for Filipinos. Through initiatives such as this, job seekers are empowered to pursue meaningful careers and contribute to the country’s economic growth.
