Rochelle Rivera: SM Supermalls

Christmas season has always been and will always be my favorite time of the year. For me, Christmas is a season that brings so much love, laughter, happiness, and Jesus Christ into our lives.

Christmas brings family and friends together. May the true meaning of the holiday season fill your heart and home with many blessings.

From carols in the malls, festive music and lights to grand centerpieces and amazing deals, SM is truly an amazing one-stop Christmas wonderland.

As we usher the joyful spirit of Christmas, allow us to thank you for celebrating this season with us and for choosing SM to create these special moments with your loved ones,” said Steven Tan, SM Supermalls senior vice president. “From our SM family to yours, we wish you a memorable and meaningful Christmas filled with love and wonderful cheers.

SM Supermalls also features Bears of Joy, an annual advocacy campaign dedicated to making more children happy every Christmas.

This enables the customers to buy a pair of bears for PhP200 – one bear for the customer to keep while the other bear is donated to charities, such as the Nayon ng Kabataan orphanage.

This year’s magical holiday celebration continues SM’s tradition of offering a whole new Christmas experience for everyone – families, millennials, and the elderly alike – to remember and cherish forever.

As a mother, I have become skilled at money-saving techniques in various aspects of life. Before making a purchase, I consider a lot of things- a great buy but very economic, high quality at an affordable price, long lasting and practical, etc. I bet most, if not all, moms will agree that making financial decisions is certainly one of the most challenging tasks at home. There are groceries, bills, and other expenses that I have to prioritize while making sure I get to keep some of the money in the stash. I also want to make sure I squeeze in some leisure and wants in our budget like watching movies in cinemas, bowling, trying some new restaurants out, travelling, and my kids' toys. Oh my, you don't want to hear my kids badger me in going to the mall especially during weekends. I know a lot of moms out there can relate.

And which mall comes to mind when you want to have some enjoyable and exciting moments with the family? Well, since its nationwide presence is undeniable, SM Supermall is always the first choice. SM had a humble origin, did some record-breaking, and made history in the industry that made it very successful today. You can basically find SM not just in major cities but in several provinces as well. Ever since SM North EDSA, known as the third largest mall in the world, opened its doors in 1986, Filipinos have come to enjoy the unique family fun mall experience and affordable luxury shopping for all. This year marks the 30th Anniversary of SM and the madness began last February 29, (3̶0̶) 2016.

56 SM Supermalls across the country, from Baguio to Davao, invited all SM lovers through the years to participate and enjoy a day of great discounts, affordable deals, and freebies.
