(18 November 2009. Pasay City, Philippines.) SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) is set to open SM City Rosario on Friday, 20 November 2009, its 36th shopping mall in the Philippines and the fourth mall in the province of Cavite where other SM malls thrive

SM Prime President Mr. Hans T.

It is a relatively well-off, urban municipality in the province of Cavite and is home to the Cavite Economic Zone. Our three existing malls in the province are doing very well. Thus, as we eagerly open the doors of SM City Rosario, we expect it to likewise adequately service the various needs of our loyal customers in Cavite.”
