SM Supermalls in Cebu Boost Earthquake Preparedness in Nationwide Simultaneous Drill

In line with its unwavering commitment to public safety and disaster readiness, SM Supermalls in Cebu namely SM City Cebu, SM Seaside City Cebu, SM City Consolacion, and SM J Mall actively took part in the Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill held today, June 19, 2025.

Conducted in coordination with the respective Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices (LDRRMOs), the drill aimed to promote a culture of preparedness among mall employees, tenants, and customers by strengthening their knowledge and response during seismic emergencies.

At exactly 9:00 AM, a loud emergency alarm signaled the start of the earthquake simulation across all participating malls. Shoppers, tenants, and employees immediately followed the “duck, cover, and hold” procedure before proceeding with the guided evacuation to designated open areas. The drill showcased the importance of swift evacuation, with trained emergency response teams from SM Emergency Response Team (SMERT) facilitating crowd control, headcounts, and safe exits toward designated open areas. Scenarios were also staged to simulate potential earthquake-related hazards, including falling debris, power interruptions, and injured individuals requiring first aid and assistance.

By simulating high-risk situations in a controlled environment, SM Supermalls ensures that all stakeholders are familiar with the critical steps needed to respond effectively during an actual earthquake. Regular participation in nationwide drills reflects SM’s broader advocacy for resilience and safety—equipping its communities with the awareness, skills, and confidence to act quickly during emergencies.

Through efforts like this, SM Supermalls continue to provide a safe, secure, and disaster-resilient environment for all.

PAGHIMUGSO 2025: NU Cebu Marks a Milestone with Grand Launch at SM
City Cebu

NU Cebu, the "13th campus" of National University, Philippines, officially marked its arrival in the Queen City of the South with a spectacular grand launch event, PAGHIMUGSO 2025, held on 14 June 2025 at the vibrant North Wing of SM City Cebu.
The celebration brought together a powerhouse of champions, leaders, and future trailblazers on a momentous occasion that signaled a new era for the education sector in Central Visayas.

The event was a spectacular showcase of NU's spirit and excellence, headlined by two rousing performances from the UAAP Cheerdance Champions - the unbeatable NU PEP Squad, whose energy electrified the crowd and set the tone for the day. Joining them were NU's top volleyball and basketball alumni star athletes, who proudly represented the university's legacy of excellence in sports and academics through their testimonials.

Adding prestige to the occasion was the presence of executives from the National University, Philippines, led by President & CEO Dr. Renato Carlos H. Ermita, Jr., who all flew in to personally witness and celebrate this historic expansion. Leaders from the local government units (LGUs) of Cebu also graced the event, with Mayor-Elect Engr. Nestor Archival underscoring the strong partnership between NU Cebu and the local community.

Hundreds of students, parents, and families gathered to be part of the celebration, many of whom are now proud members of the pioneering batch of NU Cebu. The atmosphere was filled with excitement -- as there were 13 lucky Q&A winners from the new students - as well as pride, and hope as the university unveiled its vision for the future of education in the region.

"PAGHIMUGSO," a Visayan word meaning "birth" or "emergence," perfectly captured the essence of the launch — the beginning of a new chapter not just for NU, but for Cebu's academic landscape.

NU Cebu offers a wide range of programs designed to equip students with future-ready skills, including:
* BS Accountancy
* BS Architecture
* BS Computer Science
* BS Psychology
* BS Tourism Management
* BS Medical Technology
* Senior High School (Academic Track: STEM, ABM, & HUMSS)

With state-of-the-art facilities, industry-aligned curricula, and a strong commitment to holistic development through an affordable, accessible, quality education, NU Cebu is poised to become a leading educational institution in the region starting 21 July 2025, its 1st day of classes for AY 2025-2026. Enrollment is ongoing until slots are filled on or before the said date.

The grand launch of NU Cebu is more than just an event — it is a declaration of NU's commitment to shaping champions in life, and a celebration of Cebu's growing role as a hub for quality education in the Philippines.

SM Seaside City Cebu Spreads Back-to-School Cheer to Mambaling Elementary School

In the spirit of community and compassion, SM Seaside City Cebu extended a helping hand to young learners by donating school supplies to 50 students from Grades 1 to 4 of Mambaling Elementary School on June 13, 2025. This heartwarming initiative is part of SM Cares' commitment to support education and empower the youth through meaningful outreach programs.

Each child received a back-to-school pack filled with essentials to equip them for the upcoming academic year. The donations included plastic envelopes, writing notebooks, watercolor sets, pair of scissors, paper, and other helpful school materials — along with sweet treats to bring smiles to their faces and make the experience even more special.

This donation drive forms part of the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela, a nationwide initiative that brings together stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to prepare public schools for the opening of classes. The program emphasizes the spirit of “bayanihan” — a collective effort that ensures a clean, safe, and well-equipped learning environment for students.

Through this small act of giving, SM Cares, the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Supermalls, continues to champion inclusive education and community development. More than just school supplies, this initiative sends a message of encouragement and support to young learners — reminding them that they are seen, valued, and capable of reaching their dreams.
