Elderly Filipino Week - A tribute to Seniors at SM Supermalls
In celebration of Elderly Filipino Week last October 1 to 7, SM
Cares, together with the National Commission of Senior Citizens and the SM
Super Grannies Club, prepared a variety of fun activities and surprises for the
elderly community to take part in and enjoy.
“Our senior citizens deserve to enjoy their golden years, spend
their leisure time having fun within our malls, and make more memories with
people they love. They need to engage in an active lifestyle that keeps them
going, and above all, live life to the fullest as productive members of
society,” said SM Supermalls Senior Vice President and SM Cares Program
Director for Seniors Engr. Bien C. Mateo.
Over 400 Super Grannies participated in the Walk for Life that aims to promote healthy and productive aging. |
SM has also recently launched its Super Grannies Club, the
Grandest Community for Senior Citizens. Seniors will be able to get exclusive
access to special events and programs, make grand-new friends, and turn senior
moments into #SuperMoments when they join the Super Grannies Club Facebook
Group.
Through this week’s activities, SM Cares has also shown its
support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
particularly “SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being”, “SDG 10: Reduced
Inequalities”, and “SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities”.
“Let's make sure our elderly remain connected to the community,
are given the best possible care and support, and of course, have the resources
to live a meaningful life,” said Engr. Mateo.
