ACCORDING to Wikipedia, pasalubong is popular among Filipinos as it keeps the bond with friends and family. The gesture of handing out ‘pasalubong’ conveys that loved ones are being remembered while away. It can range from food items, clothing, accessories, novelty items and toys among others.

This Kadayawan season, SM City Davao helps everyone complete their experience with these pasalubong and souvenir finds all available in one roof!
