SM and BDO always seek ways to treat overseas Filipinos and their families with opportunities to celebrate and make memories. While loved ones are abroad, the SM malls become another home for overseas Filipino families, where they can safely claim remittances, be entertained, shop, share a meal, and spend some quality time together. 

“At SM, we value family moments especially during the holiday season, which is why we have partnered with BDO to bring fun and joy and to give back to our beloved overseas Filipinos and their families through an all-star holiday celebration that will make them feel truly at home,” shared Jonjon San Agustin, SM Supermalls Senior Vice President for Marketing.

Overseas Filipinos and BDO Kabayan Savings account holders were also treated with exclusive deals from The SM Store, Kultura, and SM Supermarket and SM Hypermarket branches nationwide, as well as special raffle prizes from The SM Store, Kultura, Miniso, Jollibee, and Goldilocks. Pamaskong Handog 2019 was made possible by BDO, SM Supermalls, and BDO Remit partners WorldRemit, MoneyGram, Western Union, and Small World.
