To the Men and Women of SM Supermarket and SaveMore Market:




I never write anything about work but this one is going to be an exception simply because it deserves recognition.




Last year, we opened 7 stores and we thought that was a great accomplishment. Only to find out we can double that figure plus 6 re-opened sites due to the flood caused by typhoon ondoy.




It was depressing to work for those flooded sites seeing so much devastation but we stood our ground and continued with our Happy to Help attitude. This is part of our social responsibility.




2 days ago, we opened #15 site for this year in Solano, Nueva Viscaya. As the cliché "saving the best for last" can be appropriately used. The last one was definitely worth it. We ended the year with 82 sites. Who said there was a recession?




Planning helps but in the end, it is how the staff execute and adjust to the pressure and intricacies in opening a store. You can say we are already an expert but there are a lot of things to improve.




In addition, it was this year that we opened 2 sites in one day. Our Cabanatuan sites in Megacenter and Amigo- Nueva Ecija. I never imagined being part of this historic event.




Never mind the 30 sites by 2010. Never mind the 100 sites target by 2010 being our 25th year. It is time to celebrate the accomplishment of the team.




From the site sourcing up to the maintenance and security that helped the store. From the different departments who contributed to the success of each store opening.




Congratulations! Hope to work with you again in the near future. It will be an honor to be with you in Legazpi, Isabela, Tuguegarao, Tagaytay .............................
