Village Connect
SM Supermalls, in collaboration with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), continues to champion Filipino micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by hosting national trade fairs that celebrate local talent, innovation, and sustainability. These events have become vital platforms for showcasing Filipino craftsmanship while driving economic growth.
Each trade fair highlights the diversity of Filipino entrepreneurship. The Bagong Pilipinas National Food Fair and Beauty Fair at SM Megamall attracted thousands of visitors, generating significant sales for participating MSMEs. Events like the Go Green, Go Local! Trade Fair and the Coconut Philippines Trade Fair emphasized sustainability by featuring eco-friendly products, from personal care items to home goods.
Regional pride was also on display through fairs like the Bahandi Eastern Visayas Trade Fair, Orgullo Kan Bicol Trade Fair, and Likha ng Central Luzon Trade Fair, which showcased handicrafts, processed foods, and festive décor unique to their areas. Additionally, the National Arts and Crafts Fair celebrated the rich cultural artistry of indigenous communities, furthering appreciation for Filipino heritage.
SM Supermalls’ unwavering support has ensured these fairs’ success. By providing prime venues, marketing assistance, and access to a vast customer base, SM has amplified the visibility of Filipino MSMEs. These efforts reflect SM’s commitment to nation-building, economic empowerment, and cultural preservation.
With more events lined up, including the Coconut Trade Fair this December, SM Supermalls continues to elevate Filipino entrepreneurship. By bridging MSMEs with opportunities and communities, SM and DTI are fostering a thriving ecosystem of innovation and collaboration.
