This season of giving, SM Supermalls is celebrating unsung community partners who play a vital role in our community: our beloved jeepney and tricycle drivers. They work tirelessly to bring shoppers to the mall, navigating the bustling streets and ensuring that everyone reaches their destination safely.

In a heartwarming initiative, SM recently surprised these drivers with tokens of appreciation, recognizing their essential contribution to our daily lives. From early morning until late at night, they brave the elements, rain or shine, providing reliable transportation to countless families and individuals.

Laughter –Pass It On!
As part of the celebration, SM gathered stories from drivers who shared their experiences, often filled with laughter and joy as laughter makes the journey better. SM Center San Pedro in their 100 days of Joy video highlighted the power of humor as good laugh can brighten anyone’s day.
These stories remind us that kindness and laughter are the cornerstones of our community. As we embark on our shopping adventures this season, let us take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication of these drivers who keep us moving forward.

Malasakit – Pass It On!
SM Mall encourages everyone to express gratitude towards these everyday community partners. Whether it is offering a smile, a kind word, or a small gesture of appreciation, every act of kindness counts. At SM City Santa Rosa their 100 days video focus on spirit of Malasakit (compassion) that guide our journeys this holiday season.
So, the next time you hop on a jeepney or tricycle, take a moment to thank your driver and share a laugh. Their hard work makes our lives easier, and their stories inspire us all. Together, let’s spread kindness, laughter, and celebrate the incredible impact our manong and manang drivers have in our lives.
As we countdown to Christmas, SM calls on everyone to embrace their communities and spread the joy of the season. Whether through the Bears of Joy initiative, nominating communities for special recognition, or simply enjoying the holiday atmosphere at SM malls, there are countless ways to share the Christmas spirit.
Thank you, manong drivers, for being our everyday champions who keep us moving forward.
