As part of a series of innovations designed to improve customer malling experience, SM Supermalls raises the bar in customer service with the introduction of SAM, the country’s first-ever in-mall smart robot – launched at SM Megamall last March 28.
SAM is an artificial intelligent (AI) humanoid robot programmed to deliver a smoother, more personalized and efficient interaction with customers.
Steven Tan, SM Supermalls COO with Sam
“Innovation is what SM strives for in providing better customer service to all and we are proud to introduce our latest innovation yet,” said Steven Tan, SM Supermalls COO. “SAM is easy to approach and has answers to almost everything SM mall related, making shopping more seamless and fun for our customers.”
#smthingnew at SM
Now at SM Megamall and coming soon to other SM malls, SAM is designed to help with directions and provide mall information about the latest deals, promos, and events. Equipped with an advanced face recognition technology, it can also make personalized greetings to customers once they enter the mall. Customers can also chat with SAM through the SM Supermalls Facebook page. It serves as a 24/7 online concierge that can provide information like branch locations, mall schedules, and promos, to name a few.
SAM was created in partnership with Cal-Comp Technology (Philippines), which is a leading provider of electronic and original design manufacturing services.
Next time you visit SM Megamall, drop by Mega Atrium, Mega Fashion Hall, or Bank Drive and say hi to SAM for more fun, convenient, and exciting malling experience!

Filinvest City proves that there’s always something fun to do in Metro South as it once again hosts Festival of Possibilities 2019, its very own town-wide fair aimed at bringing residents, workers, and guests closer together at the sprawling Filinvest City Events Grounds on April 26, 2019.
Now on its second year, the Festival of Possibilities promises to be more than just a music festival and be bigger with more exciting and fun interactive outdoor activities and attractions in store for its guests.
Festival goers can interact with one another, take lots of photos, and enjoy the arcade booths, board games and human attractions amid the city’s signature fresh air and lush setting. A picnic area will also be provided so they can bond over mouth-watering eats and treats offered at the food bazaar.
Some of today’s hottest local bands will also bring entertainment to the crowd. Set to perform at the biggest stage in Metro South are Itchyworms, Rivermaya, Spongecola, and many other rising artists such as I Belong To The Zoo, Written by the Stars, and This Band.
This community fair continues to be part of Filinvest City’s effort to explore the many exciting possibilities in Metro South. With events like the Festival of Possibilities, residents, workers, and guests from neighboring areas do not have to drive far to have fun and meet new friends.
“Our main goal here at Filinvest City is to give back to the community and provide our Cityzens not only a progressive, self-contained central business district, but one that enriches their lives as well,” says Don Ubaldo, Filinvest vice president for townships. “With Festival of Possibilities, we aim to further foster a growing community through exhilarating events that encourage participation among Filinvest Cityzens.”
Admission to the Festival of Possibilities is free. Festival goers must only present proof of residence or employment in Filinvest City at the venue gates to get in. Meanwhile, non-Filinvest Cityzens can join the event by presenting a single receipt with at least P1,000 worth of purchases from any merchant in Festival Alabang. This will be equivalent to two (2) tickets.
Festival of Possibilities definitely signifies Filinvest City’s position as the ideal destination for exciting crowd-drawing events in Metro South with its easy mobility and accessibility, vast open spaces, and abundance of greeneries.

I have many friends who are looking forward to watching Avengers: Endgame (myself included) and have been counting down the hours and days. Luckily, there are theaters that have decided to open their doors extra early (before 11am) on April 24 AND decided to have viewings for 24 hours from the 24th to the 26th! Amazing, right?
If I had to guess it is possibly because the movie is 3 hours long so they want to accommodate more people in a day, and, thus, earn more. But which theaters are these? Here is a list of theaters in Metro Manila with screenings before 11am (for your reference) taken from Clickthecity.com.
