A total of 1,292 volunteers from 24 schools, government agencies, and private organizations came together on Saturday, September 19, for the 2026 International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) at the coastal area of Barangay Carlatan, San Fernando City, La Union.

The volunteers collected 863 kilograms of trash during the cleanup, helping clear marine debris while raising awareness on proper waste management and the importance of protecting coastal areas.

The turnout doubled from SM City La Union’s previous coastal cleanup in March 2026, reflecting the growing number of individuals and organizations joining SM Supermalls’ environmental initiatives and their shared commitment to protecting La Union’s coastal communities.

The annual ICC serves as a reminder that keeping the ocean clean begins on land, through responsible waste disposal, proper segregation, and collective action.

Through the initiative, SM Supermalls continues to bring communities together in caring for the environment and protecting the province’s natural resources.

As Filipinos increasingly seek experiences beyond shopping, SM Supermalls continues to transform its malls into vibrant community hubs for leisure, dining, entertainment, and connection.

Following the opening of SM City Zamboanga, SM is set to launch SM Nuvali this November, a flagship eat-and-play destination featuring the country's first LED cinema experience of its kind. Meanwhile, the newly opened SM Seaside Cebu Arena strengthens the Visayas' entertainment scene with a world-class venue for major concerts and events.

Beyond new destinations, SM continues to champion active lifestyles and community experiences through running events, pickleball courts, and cultural programs such as Art for Everyone, Museo del Galeon, and AweSM Festivals.

These initiatives are part of My SM, an evolving platform designed to create meaningful experiences for diverse communities and interests.

SM also expanded its tenant base by 4% in the first half of 2026, surpassing 23,000 tenants nationwide.

“Food, leisure, and lifestyle concepts are leading the demand right now. We're actively curating a mix that keeps shoppers staying longer, discovering new brands, and coming back more often,” said Hanna Carinna T. Sy, Senior Assistant Vice President for Marketing and Leasing at SM Supermalls.

To further engage the digital community, SM recently launched SM SuperMakers, a TikTok creator network that encourages creators to share stories and experiences from across SM malls.

Beyond lifestyle and entertainment, SM continues to support local entrepreneurs and sustainability initiatives nationwide.

“All of these efforts aren't just about building better malls. They're about creating real, lasting opportunities for every Filipino,” said Steven T. Tan, President of SM Supermalls. “Our goal is to keep evolving alongside our shoppers, making sure SM remains a space where communities can connect, celebrate, and create memories together.”

SAN FERNANDO CITY, LA UNION — The skies may have been gloomy, but the spirit of sportsmanship shone brightly as Pagudpud Integrated School successfully held its Intramurals 2026 on September 7, 2026.

Despite the unfavorable weather, students and teachers welcomed the event with excitement and enthusiasm. The activities proceeded in an orderly and peaceful manner, demonstrating the school's commitment to providing learners with an opportunity to showcase their talents while strengthening camaraderie among the school community.
