SM Megamall once again received the Top Taxpayers Award from Mandaluyong during the city’s 71st Liberation Day and 22nd cityhood anniversary celebration held recently at the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club.
 
The award is given in recognition of SM Megamall as a key partner in the city’s continuous development and its generous commitment of time, support and inspiration to the city government. Through its taxes, the mall is able to help the whole city in creating more jobs, businesses and other vital opportunities that uplift the city’s economic growth.
 
Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos handed the award to SM Supermalls president Annie Garcia, SM Megamall assistant vice president Christian Mathay and SM Megamall mall manager Egbert Lim.
 
SM Megamall, which opened in 1991, is known to have spearheaded the malling phenomenon in the country. It created a lot of shopping, leisure and entertainment excitement, not only with its tenant mix, but also new mall concepts in the Philippines like the Art Walk, Art Center and Megatrade Hall.
 
The mall has evolved over the years, and is now a premier shopping, dining and lifestyle destination. Its newest addition is the Mega Fashion Hall, which is a prominent venue for fashion and lifestyle events, international fashion brands and well-known foreign restaurants. It is also here that one can find an Olympic-sized ice skating rink, a state-of-the-art bowling center and the first IMAX Theater in Ortigas.
