“SM Cares is all about “Supporting Communities”, and our programs for senior citizens align with the Elderly Filipino Week’s 2022 theme of “Resilience in Nation Building” For one, our Emergency Preparedness Forums in our malls have reached Metro Manila and various provinces since 2015. In the spirit of inclusion, these activities are specially designed to teach our elderly and PWDs how to be equipped for and respond to different types of calamities.
“Today, our resilience efforts focus on holistic well-being – enabling our lolos and lolas to be healthier, stronger, and happier. This morning’s Walk for Life enhances our awareness that staying healthy is everyone’s responsibility. We hope that “waking up to a life of wellness” will go beyond our celebration, and we look forward to seeing you at our Sky Park for more activities.
“At SM, “You’re Always Welcome Here” We believe that everyone should engage in an active lifestyle and be able to enjoy the same fun and leisure in our malls SM Cares and we always will be a mall for all,”
