SM and The Philippine STAR launch the My City, My SM Contest
MANILA, Philippines - During the last few months, prominent personalities brought us on a visual tour of their hometown in the My City, My SM campaign, sharing with us why they love their city and why they love SM.
Multi-awarded film director Brillante Mendoza and Mutya ng Kapampangan Nicolette Henson let us know why despite all their success, they “Left their Heart in San Fernando;” while the entrepreneurial Aldeguer brothers – Jay, Michael, and Chris, and socialite Teresin Mendezona talked about their booming and beautiful city in Cebu, Cebu.
Mang Inasal’s Edgar Sia II and Dr. Josette Biyo, who has a planet named after her, gave us a tour of Sweet Home Iloilo; while National artist BenCab and Binibining Pilipinas Universe 2001 and lawyer Zorayda Ruth Andam shared with us why it is Baguio on My Mind for each of them.
