“I am happy that they came up with a job fair for government agencies. Many still want to serve and work for our government,” said Ken Gonzaga, who applied for several positions during the Job Fair event held at SM North EDSA.
This September, SM Supermalls will launch a statewide series of Job Fairs in collaboration with the Civil Service Commission (CSC), continuing to promote career prospects for Filipinos.
Every September, the program is a part of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), which honors the long history of public service. State universities and colleges, government-owned and controlled businesses, local government entities, and national government organizations will all offer employment chances to job seekers. Job seekers have the rare chance to discover their calling in public service at these job fairs.

Beyond Employment: Building a Nation of Servants
These job fairs go beyond recruitment. They highlight the critical role of civil service in nation-building, inspiring Filipinos to pursue careers that directly impact communities and transform lives.

SM Supermalls President Steven Tan emphasized the importance of the collaboration: “SM is honored to celebrate 125 years of Philippine Civil Service by opening our malls as venues where Filipinos can discover not just jobs, but meaningful careers in public service. By working hand-in-hand with CSC and our government partners, we continue to support an empowered citizenry and sustainable nation-building.”
A Legacy of Service, A Future of Opportunities
The Civil Service Anniversary Job Fairs reaffirmed SM Supermalls’ role as a trusted partner of the government—helping agencies source their talents, empowering jobseekers to find stable and impactful careers, and bringing essential services closer to communities.
For many participants, these job fairs also meant finding purpose in serving the nation. Joanne Moriel, a fresh graduate has her eye on government employment: “Especially with what’s happening now in the country, I want to be part of the public sector to be able to help make a difference.”
In collaboration with the Civil Service Commission, SM Supermalls organized a number of job fairs across the country as part of the unique commemoration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary. SM City Tuguegarao hosted these on September 3, SM CDO Downtown Premier and SM City Butuan hosted them on September 3–4, SM City North EDSA hosted them on September 4, SM City Iloilo hosted them on September 4–5, and SM City Legazpi hosted them on September 5. The last stage of the festival will take place in SM City Baguio on September 9.
“Our partnership with SM Supermalls make it easier for Filipinos to explore careers in public service—opportunities that go beyond personal growth and contribute to the progress of our communities and the nation, the place is well-organized, convenient and very accessible for jobseekers” said Mary Grace Dugay, Director III, Civil Service Commission.
By converting malls into entry points where regular Filipinos may create remarkable futures, SM Supermalls is reaffirming its commitment to making opportunities in the public and private sectors accessible, convenient, and inclusive through its #SMJobFair campaign.
