“He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never arrive to his destination,” our national hero Jose Rizal famously stated. As you climb higher, it’s critical to maintain your feet on the ground. The same is true for all Filipinos: we can’t completely appreciate the freedom we have now unless we understand what our forefathers went through to achieve it.
SM Supermalls will host big events to commemorate Philippine Independence Day and encourage Pinoys to embrace Filipino culture more fully.
Join SM Supermalls’ Flag Raising Ceremony
Show your love of country and value the sacrifices of the Filipinos who died protecting and defending it. Come in colors of the Philippine flag and head to SM Supermalls’ Flag Raising Ceremony on June 12, 2022 – assembly time is at 8:30am. Give it the utmost importance, as this is the thread that knits Filipinos together from one generation to the next.

“SM Supermalls have always celebrated Pinoy pride through various events where we get to appreciate our culture and express our gratitude to the heroes of past and present. Our Philippine Independence Day should never be taken for granted, because holding our national pride and heritage in high regard is what makes us true-blooded Filipinos through and through. We encourage everyone to join us as we celebrate freedom at SM Supermalls” Steven T. Tan, President of SM Supermalls, said.
