“At SM, we believe that every person employed directly impacts the lives of five others—the average size of a Filipino household. This drives us to continuously expand our initiatives and celebrate every hire,” shared Royston Cabunag, Assistant Vice President for MSMEs, Job Fairs, and Government Services at SM Supermalls.
