THE PRESTIGIOUS Anvil Awards has recognized SM Cares, the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of SM Prime Holdings, for its outstanding achievements in promoting its pioneering and innovative CSR programs that uplift communities and effect nation-building.

In ceremonies held on Friday at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel in Makati City, SM Cares, a division of SM Foundation, bagged three awards at the 51st Anvil Awards spearheaded by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP).

The Anvil Awards is the PR profession’s most distinguished award for outstanding PR programs and practices.

We hope that through these projects, we are able to serve more of our countrymen towards our goal of helping the country in nation building.”
