The SM Cares for disability affairs headed by Engr. Bien C. Mateo, highlighted the efforts of the company to promote the well-being of PWDs, respect among others and taking parts to contribute to attain their aspirations in life. SM learned so much lesson from previous customer’s experiences that develops them to become more aware and caring to others.

“Together with PWDs, let’s create places and ways of life which are deeply human and let our programs and services attract others to also give importance to them. Let us inspire each of us!” Engr. Mateo said.

SM also presented their facilities for PWDs like designated parking spaces, PWD ramps, comfort rooms, areas in the cinemas, priority lanes and priority for elevator use to ensure that the mall was really a best place for everyone.
