1. Strike a Pose at the All for Moms Photo Spots

Start your day by capturing a memory that lasts forever. Each mall has a specially designed Mother’s Day Floral Installation in the main atrium. These beautiful, flower-adorned photo spots are the perfect backdrop for a family portrait.

2. Game On: Pickleball at SM City East Ortigas

If your mom is the active type, skip the traditional brunch and head to the newly opened Pink Paddle Club at the SM Active Hub in SM City East Ortigas. Having opened just this April, it’s the trendiest way to bond. You can book a court via the SM Malls Online app and enjoy a high-energy morning before hitting the shops.

3. A Sweet Family Feast

Nothing says "family bonding" like a shared meal.

SM City Taytay: Check out La Casetta de Britt for exclusive "Mom’s Day" food deals.
SM City East Ortigas: Visit Yappari for a steak break for Mom or Du Hsiao Yueh for a "Family Feast" designed specifically for groups of 5 to 6.
SM Center Angono: For a cozy coffee date, visit Zullo and get your sweet treats for Mom.

4. Movie Date with a Stylish Twist

Take Mom to SM Cinema for a relaxed afternoon. This year, you can grab the The Devil Wears Prada 2 Limited Edition Snack Combo for only ₱250. It includes a collectible popcorn bucket—a perfect keepsake for a movie-loving mom.

5. Show your Gratitude with a Gift

Give her the gift of convenience. Get her an Iphone at Powermac Center -- more than just a gift, it’s a way to make her daily life more convenient and help her capture beautiful memories through photos and videos with family.

6. Grab the Sweetest treat

End the day by picking up a Caramia’s new Caramella Bella cake or the Max’s Bouquet Vanilla Cream Cake. These are designed to look like floral bouquets, making them the perfect centerpiece for your family photos before heading home.

Whatever your plans may be, make this year's celebration truly "mom-umental" by bringing her a maxed-out Mom's Day experience, only at your most-loved SM Supermalls in the East.

*Overall average transmission rates up in April 2026 electric bills*

Power consumers may see a slight increase in transmission rates reflected in their April 2026 electricity bills.

The overall equivalent average transmission rate for the March 2026 billing period to be billed by distribution utilities and electric cooperatives this April increased by 4.26% to PhP1.7526/kWh, up from February’s PhP1.6810/kWh.

Ancillary Service (AS) rates -- pass-through costs for power supplied by power generators who are AS providers during supply-demand imbalance -- increased from PhP 0.8275/kWh in February to PhP0.8516/kWh in March.

NGCP emphasized that it does not earn from AS and does not benefit from any change in AS prices, as these are remitted directly to generation companies with bilateral contracts with NGCP, and to the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP) for AS sourced from the Reserve Market.

Meanwhile, NGCP’s transmission wheeling rate, or the fee for delivering power through the transmission grid slightly increased to PhP0.7022/kWh in March from PhP 0.6677/kWh in February.

“The increase in effective transmission wheeling rates has no impact on NGCP’s revenue, as the company’s allowable revenue is capped by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC),” NGCP clarified.

NGCP reiterates that bulk of the overall transmission rate still comprises of charges for Ancillary Services.

"As the system operator, NGCP’s priority is to ensure the grid remains resilient during supply-demand imbalances. NGCP does not profit from AS charges, as these are remitted directly to the providers who help us maintain the continuous flow of electricity across the country," NGCP said.
