To further fair market competition among its stakeholders nationwide, SM Prime Holdings Inc.

The campaign will be featured on SM digital platforms, such as Cinema ads, LED poster boxes and cinema directories, Digital mall directories, LFD screens and In-mall LED screens.
“We are proud to join forces with PCC in promoting fair trade practices,” said SM Supermalls president Steven Tan during the sealing of the MoC with PCC chairperson Michael G. Aguinaldo.
