2026 ASP ANGELS WALK: 47,500 ADVOCATES UNITE WITH SM CARES AND AUTISM SOCIETY PHILIPPINES

Thousands of participants gather at SM Mall of Asia Arena for the ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026, demonstrating nationwide support for autism acceptance, accommodation and appreciation.

PHILIPPINES – The Autism Society Philippines (ASP), together with SM Cares and its partners, gathered 47,500 allies and advocates nationwide together at the ASP Angels Walk for Autism last April 26, 2026. The record-breaking attendance this year reflects the growing support for the Autism Community through collective programs and efforts done by SM Cares and the ASP in forging an Autism-OK Philippines. 

For close to two decades, SM hosted the ASP Angels Walk as a celebration that aims to turn a long-standing advocacy into a meaningful celebration of inclusion, dignity, and hope. This year's celebration further expanded this advocacy by empowering communities through simultaneous walks across SM's most-loved malls nationwide. 

“ASP Angels Walk reminds us that inclusion is about creating space, and more importantly, making people feel that they truly belong. At SM, we are honored to walk united with the autism community—their families and fellow advocates who have long shown us the power of courage and perseverance. This commitment is about pursuing transformative inclusivity: empowering communities until every person is seen, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive,” said Steven Tan, President, SM Supermalls.

United voices and shared purpose take center stage at ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026, as Mr. Hans Sy officially cues the walk for inclusion.

SM Book Nook receives the ASP Autism Works Partner of the Year Award, represented by Ms. Hanna Carinna Sy, recognizing its commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for the autism community.

NATIONWIDE JOB OPENINGS THIS LABOR DAY: BUILDING STRONGER FUTURES TOGETHER

 

PHILIPPINES – The last Labor Day, SM continued empowering community opportunities as multiple Job Fairs were mounted across 15 venues nationwide. This brought together 650 employers and 17,400 jobseekers, with more than 1,000 Filipinos hired on the spot—a powerful reflection of how accessible, community-based platforms can deliver real employment outcomes.

But beyond the numbers are real stories—of courage, determination, and new beginnings.

Across multiple SM malls, thousands of Filipinos walked in carrying resumes—and walked out with something more: real opportunities, renewed confidence, and for many, a fresh start. The SM Job Fair once again served as a platform for employment, connecting jobseekers, employers, and government partners in one convenient, community-centered space at their most-loved SM Supermalls.

THE VISTA EXPANSION: CONNECTING FILIPINO COMMUNITIES THROUGH PREMIER COMMERCIAL SPACES

 PHILIPPINES – Across the Philippines, commercial components complementary to residential developments have become central to the continued performance of real estate assets. Neighborhood workplaces, service providers, retail establishments, and lifestyle centers are no longer ancillary features: they stimulate demand, support property values, and sustain local economies. These channels enhance livability while embedding predictable patterns of consumption and circulation that benefit residents, investors, and enterprises alike.

VCA advances a platform that complements and sustains activity within and independent of Vista Land integrated estates, house-and-lot communities, and condominium properties.

For Vista Land, this integration has long been a core development philosophy. Residential developments are planned alongside tourism destinations, educational institutions, business districts, and infralink projects to ensure growth is supported by access and opportunity. The establishment of Vista Commercial Assets (VCA) formalizes this approach, consolidating its portfolio into a platform for selling and leasing of commercial land and space.

Commercial spaces in condominium properties include everyday conveniences, while commercial land accommodates stand-alone or landmark developments, and institutional or high-impact uses.
