Built to protect: SM Prime's flood mitigation strategy

SM Prime Holdings (SM Prime), a pioneer in sustainability initiatives in the Philippines, has long been committed to environmental stewardship and building resilient structures. From its early adoption of water recycling and innovative energy management programs to operationalizing renewable energy and waste management, SM Prime has consistently prioritized sustainability. This commitment was further underscored by the company's active participation in the recent Asia Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, hosted by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Office of Civil Defense. At the conference, Hans Sy, Chairman of the Executive Committee, emphasized the critical role of resilience in urban populations and how innovation and multi-sectoral collaboration are essential for the country's sustainable development.


The Philippines is highly vulnerable to natural hazards, especially tropical cyclones and typhoons, making disaster risk management (DRM) and resilient infrastructure crucial. SM Prime employs a hydrological survey approach in building locations to determine flood susceptibility.

SM City Marikina prioritizes safety with flood mitigation measures, ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for the community.

SM City Marikina, elevated on 246 concrete stilts, allows floodwaters to flow beneath, keeping occupants safe during severe weather events.

A strong example of such resilience lies in SM City Marikina, whose unique structure was lauded by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. Built beside the Marikina River, an area prone to flooding during severe weather events, SM City Marikina stands on 246 concrete stilts. This innovative design allows floodwaters to flow beneath the structure, leaving the mall and its occupants safe and dry. During Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) in 2009, which devastated surrounding areas, SM City Marikina remained intact, serving as a refuge for those affected by the disaster. Similar to the stilts methodology, SM City Cabanatuan’s lower ground parking level serves as a temporary catchment basin.


SM City Cabanatuan demonstrates SM Prime's dedication to flood mitigation through its robust design.



SM City Cabanatuan's lower ground parking level doubles as a temporary flood catchment basin, a crucial element of our flood mitigation strategy.

Beyond these two malls, this promise of flood resilience is present in other properties. A key innovation employed by SM Prime is the implementation of rainwater catchment basins in its malls. These massive underground tanks, similar in size to swimming pools, collect and store rainwater from the street level, mitigating flooding in surrounding communities. Twenty-nine SM Supermalls across the country are equipped with these basins, boasting a combined capacity of 85,400 cubic meters – enough to fill over 34 Olympic-sized swimming pools!




Built to protect, SM City Masinag incorporates a rainwater catchment basin to minimize the impact of heavy rainfall.

SM City Masinag's rainwater catchment basin collected 8,652.60 cubic meters of rainwater during Super Typhoon Carina.

Designed with the community in mind, SM City Masinag incorporates flood mitigation measures for safety.



These catchment basins have proven invaluable during recent typhoons. For instance, SM City Masinag's rainwater catchment basin played a crucial role during Super Typhoon Carina (Gaemi) last July 2024, effectively managing the increased water volume. It collected 8,652.60 cubic meters of rainwater, equivalent to 264 gallons of water. As the first SM mall equipped with a rainwater catchment basin, SM City Masinag was strategically built in a historically flood-prone area, serving as a catch basin for water flowing down from upper Antipolo. In the second half of 2024, SM malls prevented an estimated total of 46,405 cubic meters of rainwater--the volume of 18 Olympic-sized swimming pools--from flooding the surrounding areas.


Mr. Gareth Aboy, a resident and former officer of Vermont Phase 1 Association near SM City Masinag, expressed his gratitude: “The residents of Vermont Park Executive Village of Antipolo would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to SM City Masinag for always being there in our times of need. Thank you for keeping your doors open for our immediate daily needs, your elevated parking spaces for our vehicles, and for keeping your water catchment basin open to help drain the water from our flood-prone village. SM City Masinag has always been and will continue to be a treasure for the residents of Vermont Park Executive Village of Antipolo.”

Sustainability and resilience are at the core of SM Prime's business strategy. The company invests significantly in these measures, recognizing that the benefits – safer communities, environmental protection, and enhanced business continuity – far outweigh the costs. SM Prime remains committed to building a more resilient future for the communities it serves.

SM Supermalls operates 44 malls with solar PV systems

 


Imagine a world powered by the sun, the ultimate source of life. As climate change worsens due to fossil fuel use, sustainable energy alternatives are more crucial than ever. The Philippines, with its abundant sunlight, is uniquely positioned to harness solar power and help combat climate change. In 2024, Manila experienced around 4,440 hours of daylight, which translates to a significant potential for solar energy production.


SM Prime recognized this potential early on. In 2014, SM North EDSA became the first commercial property in the Philippines to install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on its roof, achieving the largest installation in Southeast Asia at the time. This move signaled the beginning of SM Prime’s commitment to renewable energy and energy efficiency.


SM Supermalls President Steven Tan explains, “SM’s environmental sustainability began with energy and water conservation. Revolutionizing our malls’ energy efficiency through renewable sources magnifies our responsibility to serving people and the planet.”




Today, SM Supermalls operates 44 malls with solar PV systems, generating a combined peak energy of 51.6 megawatts (MW). The largest installation is at SM City Santa Rosa. With a total of 96,000 solar panels across malls in Luzon and Visayas, SM Prime holds the Philippines’ largest solar energy portfolio, covering around 33 hectares. These efforts are a vital part of the company’s Net Zero by 2040 strategy, aimed at reducing its carbon footprint.


This 51.6 MW capacity significantly cuts carbon emissions, providing clean energy that powers thousands of homes or removes thousands of cars from the roads. It also reduces the need for coal, offering environmental benefits for both the planet and local communities.


The solar power generated directly fuels essential mall operations like lighting and escalators, reducing SM Supermalls' reliance on the national grid. This, in turn, helps stabilize the power supply, reducing the risk of outages and easing the burden on electricity providers. By tapping into clean, renewable energy, SM Prime is contributing to a more sustainable future for the Philippines.


SM Prime’s sustainability efforts extend beyond solar energy. The company also focuses on waste management, water conservation, and air quality initiatives, all designed to minimize environmental impact. Through these comprehensive measures, SM Prime strives to create a positive change while ensuring responsible, innovative operations.


In sum, SM Prime’s large-scale adoption of solar PV systems, combined with its broader environmental initiatives, exemplifies its dedication to creating a sustainable future for the Philippines. By leading in renewable energy and sustainability, SM Prime is helping pave the way for a cleaner, greener, and brighter tomorrow.


SM Mall of Asia Complex: A benchmark in resilience and innovation

The SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Complex, a 67-hectare landmark along Manila Bay, showcases SM Prime Holdings’ commitment to leveraging technology and innovation for disaster resilience and community protection for all its projects.


Initially conceived as a pioneering mixed-use development on reclaimed land spearheaded by the Philippine government, it has evolved into a benchmark of safety and stability, fulfilling the vision of founder Henry Sy, Sr., who aspired to create “a destination that brings joy and opportunities to millions.”


Expanding on his father’s vision, Hans Sy, SM Prime Executive Committee Chairman and co-chair of ARISE Philippines under the United Nations Office of Disaster Risk Resilience (UNDRR), emphasizes the importance of creating resilient, sustainable spaces that prioritize both safety and community well-being. 


"We believe that safety is the cornerstone of thriving communities," Mr. Sy states. In affirmation of this belief, he stands as the first Filipino elected to the UNDRR ARISE Global Board. 


Launched in 2015, ARISE Philippines is the country’s 157-member-strong premier private sector alliance united by a shared vision of a resilient and prosperous future. The organization, the first country network established by the UNDRR, aims to minimize disaster-related loss of life, ensure investments and assets are risk-informed, and build infrastructure capable of withstanding both natural and man-made hazards.


SM Prime’s commitment to resilience is evident in the very design of the MOA Complex, which incorporates cutting-edge disaster resilience features to protect against the unique challenges posed by its coastal location.


Before construction began, SM Prime engaged the expertise of Jan de Nul, a renowned Belgian coastal development company. Their extensive research and studies ensured the viability of the project, taking into account the complex interplay of land and sea. To create a resilient structure, the company conducted risk reviews in which the following components are incorporated: Identify, analyze, plan, mitigate, and monitor. This meticulous pre-engineering phase laid the groundwork for a structure, completed in 2006, that was capable of withstanding the test of time and nature.


One of the key challenges addressed was soil erosion. To combat this, the team implemented a sophisticated system of wick drains. These drains act as pathways for pore water in soft, compressible soil, effectively preventing erosion and ensuring the stability of the land. This technology, while more costly than traditional methods, provides a significantly higher degree of protection, particularly against liquefaction during seismic events.


The threat of ground liquefaction, a phenomenon where soil loses its strength and behaves like a liquid during earthquakes, was also mitigated through innovative foundation design. Driven and bored piles, combined with precise excavation methods, provide the complex with robust resistance against liquefaction and seismic activity.


Reference photo for the driven piles methodology, which protects against soil liquefaction and provides strength against earthquakes.


To protect against storm surges, a common threat in coastal areas, the complex boasts a robust seawall. This seawall, standing 4.5 meters higher than the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) mark, is further reinforced by a wave return feature. This inverted structure deflects high waves back towards the sea, minimizing their impact on the complex. A network of drainage channels further enhances flood prevention during storm surges. 


These features were instrumental in protecting the complex during Typhoon Pedring (international name Nesat) in 2011, as well as in all succeeding severe weather disturbances this year, where the MOA Complex emerged largely unscathed while helping nearby areas avoid being inundated by prolonged deep flooding.



The wave return feature redirects water back into the bay, providing protection from high waves.



The Mall of Asia (MOA) Complex higher seawall and elevation prevent damage to the structure from rising sea levels. (Inset) In addition, the drainage channels along the MOA Complex are wide and deep enough to fit two buses side by side, helping prevent flooding from storm surges.



The complex's resilience extends beyond its foundation. The main road and all structures are elevated significantly above the National Building Code requirements, further minimizing the risk of flooding. Buildings are equipped with Earthquake Recording Instruments (ERI) that monitor seismic activity and provide valuable data for disaster preparedness. 


The structural integrity of the buildings themselves is also paramount. The roof deck, for instance, is designed to withstand substantial loads, ensuring it can serve as a safe refuge during emergencies. The exterior façade is concrete masonry walls with Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS), designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 270 kph and provide excellent insulation. This commitment to safety transforms SM Supermalls like the SM MOA into havens for the community during times of crisis.


SM Prime's dedication to disaster resilience is not merely a response to potential threats; it is a proactive strategy integrated into the DNA of all its business operations.  The company automatically allocates a significant portion of its capital expenditure to disaster resilience research and construction, recognizing that investing in safety is an investment in the future.


SM Prime's longstanding reputation as a responsible property developer is built not only on its contributions to the country’s economic growth and the creation of dynamic lifestyle destinations, but also on its unwavering commitment to protecting the lives and livelihoods of the communities it serves. The MOA Complex stands as a powerful symbol of this commitment, a beacon of resilience in the face of natural adversity.

These cropped, form-fitting t-shirts were all the rage during the Y2K era and have become a modern-day favorite. Whether it’s the playful graphics or the Y2K aesthetic, baby tees are the perfect way to channel retro vibes while keeping things fresh and fun.

They were a staple of the early 2000s, worn by celebrities, models, and everyday fashion lovers alike.

The Best Teacher Shirts, Clothes, and Accessories for Every Educator

Being a teacher is rewarding yet demanding, requiring patience, creativity, and energy. As an educator, you're not just shaping young minds but also setting an example of professionalism, comfort, and style. With long hours spent in classrooms, hallways, and staff meetings, having the right teacher clothes is essential to help you stay comfortable, confident, and focused throughout the day. From teacher shirts and t-shirts to cozy sweatshirts and stylish bags, here's a look at some must-have items for every teacher’s wardrobe.




When it comes to teacher shirts, comfort and functionality are paramount. Whether you're teaching kindergarten or high school, you're likely to spend long hours on your feet, interacting with students, and moving around the classroom. A well-fitting, comfortable shirt can help you focus on your students rather than adjusting your clothes throughout the day.

Look for teacher t-shirts made from breathable fabrics like cotton or moisture-wicking blends that can handle the busy nature of a teaching day. These fabrics help regulate temperature, ensuring that you stay cool in a warm classroom or cozy when it's chilly. Polo shirts and button-downs are classic options that offer a polished look without compromising comfort. Many teachers opt for relaxed-fit shirts to allow for ease of movement, particularly when working on the floor with younger students or demonstrating activities.

For those looking to add a bit of personality to their work attire, there are plenty of fun, playful designs available that are still appropriate for a professional setting. Whether it’s a shirt with an inspirational quote, a witty educational pun, or a classic teacher logo, these teacher shirts can make you feel more connected to your role and bring a smile to your students’ faces.

Teacher t-shirts are perfect for those days when you want to keep things a little more casual but still represent your profession with pride. Whether you're having a “Spirit Day” at school or simply want to show off your teaching style, a teacher t-shirt can be both comfortable and stylish.

Look for teacher t-shirts that are made from soft, high-quality cotton to ensure they’re comfortable throughout the day. You can also choose from a variety of graphics, including humorous sayings like “Teaching is My Superpower” or “I Teach. What’s Your Superpower?” These graphic tees are not only fun, but they can also create a welcoming atmosphere for students.

In addition to the traditional designs, there are a lot of creative options that represent different teaching subjects. Whether you're a math teacher, science teacher, or history teacher, you can find shirts that reflect your subject with clever graphics and messages. A cute or witty teacher t-shirt can help build rapport with your students and add a bit of levity to your teaching day.



Teachers often find themselves in classrooms with fluctuating temperatures, so having a comfortable sweatshirt on hand can make a big difference. Whether you’re keeping warm during cooler months or snuggling up for a cozy after-school session of grading papers, a teacher sweatshirt is a must-have.

Teacher sweatshirts come in a range of styles, from simple crewnecks to hoodies, giving you options based on your personal preference. They are typically made from soft, cotton-blend fabrics that provide warmth without being too bulky, making them perfect for layering over a teacher shirt or t-shirt. A sweatshirt with an inspiring quote or fun design can be both practical and a conversation starter with students. Plus, with so many customizable options available, you can create a sweatshirt that’s uniquely yours, showing off your personality, your subject area, or your school spirit.

Every teacher knows that a great bag is essential for carrying all the necessities throughout the school day, from lesson plans and grading materials to supplies and personal items. A well-designed teacher bag can help keep everything organized and easily accessible.

When choosing a teacher bag, look for one that is spacious and has multiple compartments to help you stay organized. Large tote bags or sturdy backpacks are popular choices, offering ample space for notebooks, pens, folders, and even a laptop or tablet. Many teacher bags come with special features like insulated pockets for drinks, padded compartments for electronics, and adjustable straps for added comfort.

For a more polished look, you can opt for a stylish leather teacher bag or a classic canvas tote with fun graphics or personalized embroidery. Not only will these bags keep you organized, but they’ll also reflect your personal style as you carry them between classes or on field trips.

The clothes you wear as a teacher can make a big difference in your comfort, confidence, and ability to connect with students. From functional and professional teacher shirts to casual teacher t-shirts, cozy teacher sweatshirts, and stylish teacher bags, there’s an array of clothing and accessories that can help you succeed in the classroom.

Comfort is key when selecting your teacher clothes, but don’t forget to have fun with your style. After all, teaching is an exciting and dynamic profession, and your wardrobe can be a reflection of your enthusiasm and passion for education. With the right teacher shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and bags, you’ll be ready to take on any challenge the day brings—looking and feeling your best every step of the way.

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Best Workout Shirts and Gym Wear



When it comes to hitting the gym or breaking a sweat in any fitness routine, what you wear can make a huge difference. Whether you’re lifting weights, running, doing yoga, or engaging in a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, the right workout shirts and gear are essential to enhance both your performance and comfort. With a variety of options available, it’s important to choose gym clothing that suits your needs, boosts your confidence, and keeps you moving freely. Here’s a breakdown of the best options for workout shirts, graphic gym tees, and gym hoodies, with a special focus on gym shirts for women.


Comfort and Performance Combined

The most important feature of any workout shirt is its ability to keep you comfortable. As you exercise, your body heats up, and moisture-wicking fabrics can help manage sweat and prevent chafing. Modern workout shirts are designed with specialized materials such as polyester, spandex, and nylon that offer breathability and flexibility.

When selecting a workout shirt, consider the fit. Loose-fitting tops allow for unrestricted movement, while more form-fitting shirts can provide compression and support, especially during activities like weightlifting. Some people prefer sleeveless or short-sleeve workout shirts for maximum ventilation, while others may opt for long-sleeve styles for a bit more coverage.

Style Meets Function

Graphic gym tees have become a favorite for many fitness enthusiasts because they add personality to your workout wardrobe. These tees feature bold designs, motivational quotes, and striking visuals that allow you to express your individuality. Whether you're looking for an eye-catching workout shirt with a slogan like "No Pain, No Gain" or a design that reflects your love for fitness, there’s a graphic gym tee to suit every style.


While the graphic design is important, it’s also essential that the material and fit of the tee contribute to your workout performance. Many graphic gym tees today are made from performance fabrics that provide breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and stretch to ensure comfort during intense training.

Fit, Function, and Fashion

Women’s gym shirts are designed with both style and function in mind. These shirts often come in a variety of cuts, such as fitted, oversized, cropped, and flowy, to accommodate different preferences and body types. Gym shirts for women are typically made with fabrics that stretch to allow for freedom of movement, such as elastane and cotton blends.

Many women also look for workout shirts with built-in features like mesh panels for added breathability, or quick-dry technology that helps wick away sweat. Whether you’re attending a yoga class or hitting the treadmill, the right gym shirt can make a world of difference in terms of comfort and performance.

Additionally, many workout brands today are focusing on offering stylish designs that double as both workout wear and casual daywear. You can find gym shirts for women in sleek, fashionable designs that go perfectly with leggings or joggers, so you can go from workout mode to street-ready style effortlessly.

Warmth and Comfort Post-Workout

Gym hoodies are a staple in many fitness wardrobes, especially during colder months or for warm-up and cool-down sessions. They provide the perfect layer of warmth before and after a workout and can help you relax as your muscles recover.

Most gym hoodies are designed with soft, stretchy fabrics like fleece or cotton blends to ensure maximum comfort. Additionally, many feature convenient pockets for storing small items like keys or a phone, and some come with adjustable drawstrings to customize the fit of the hood. Gym hoodies can be worn as a comfortable layer over your workout clothes during a cool-down, or they can be used as a pre- and post-workout cover-up.

Another great feature of gym hoodies is their versatility. You can easily pair them with leggings, shorts, or joggers, making them perfect for both pre-workout warmth and casual outings after your training session.


Choosing the right workout shirts, graphic gym tees, gym shirts for women, and gym hoodies can truly enhance your fitness experience. Whether you’re looking for performance-focused materials, stylish designs, or a versatile piece for layering, there’s a wide range of options to suit your needs.

For women, the combination of fit, function, and fashion is key—gym shirts should not only support your workout but also reflect your unique style. Graphic gym tees add an element of fun and inspiration, while gym hoodies offer the warmth and comfort you need after a challenging session.

When choosing your gym wear, prioritize comfort, flexibility, and breathability. With the right gear, you’ll feel great and look great too, making every workout session even more enjoyable.
