SM Global Pinoy and BDO Asenso Kabayan recently held a grand salo-salo celebration for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) called ‘Handog ng SM para sa OFWs.’ The event happened simultaneously in all 46 SM Supermalls nationwide. It also raised public awareness on the sacrifices of OFWs and their importance to their families and to the country as a whole.

The OFWs were with their families during the celebration. The event featured a Filipino variety show, gave free ice cream, games, surprises and a raffle draw to the delight of attendees. After the program, SM Food Court hosted a free salo-salo meal, which was held for OFWs together with their families and friends. They enjoyed servings of Filipino food favorites like lechon, local sweet delicacies and other dishes.

‘OFWs are not only our modern-day heroes, they are the breadwinners of families who visit our malls, and so we at SM Supermalls always recognize and assist them with whatever needs they may have. The SM Global Pinoy stands as a concrete symbol of SM’s deep appreciation of the many overseas Filipinos who have been helping in the growth and development of the country,’ said Glenn Ang, program director of SM Global Pinoy.
