SM mallgoers donate record-breaking 50,000 Bears of Joy to kids in need

SM mallgoers’ kindness makes this holiday season brighter, with 50,000 Bears of Joy spreading happiness to children.

The SM mallgoers achieved something truly remarkable—donating 50,000 SM Bears of Joy to children in underserved communities. In partnership with Toy Kingdom, this milestone was part of a record-breaking campaign where 100,000 bears were sold, made possible by the collective generosity of mallgoers who came together to make the season brighter for those in need.

Pure joy captured in a single moment—thank you to SM Supermalls shoppers for making this holiday season extra special for these kids from Marikina Elementary School

Children from Sitio Pintong Bukawe light up with excitement as they receive their cuddly SM Bears of Joy through the kindness of shoppers of SM City Masinag

An annual initiative of SM Cares, the SM Bears of Joy campaign empowers shoppers to spread holiday cheer by purchasing a pair of specially designed plush bears—one to keep and another to share. This year’s theme, “Hug-a-Mood,” introduced four charming bears: Mikah, the curious explorer; Ash, the gentle and shy friend; Bree, the spirited adventurer; and Ronnie, the creative dreamer. Each bear brought its own personality, symbolizing the warmth and joy of the season.

Giving back this holiday season, SM City San Mateo brings joy to children and residents of Cottolengo Filipino in Montalban, Rizal

Beyond the numbers, the true impact lies in the ripples of care created by this campaign. Each donated bear represents the kindness and generosity of a community united in its commitment to giving back. These simple acts of giving spread not only joy but also hope, showing that small gestures can create meaningful change across communities.

This initiative also reminds us that the holidays are a time to create special memories, especially for children who may not always feel the season’s merriness. Through the unwavering compassion of SM shoppers, the Bears of Joy initiative delivered smiles, warmth, and a powerful message of love to children nationwide.

SM Cares is the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Supermalls, supporting initiatives focused on communities and the environment. Its advocacies include Programs for the Environment, Persons with Disabilities, Women & Breastfeeding Mothers, Children & Youth, Senior Citizens, and the SM Bike-friendly initiative.

Cultural concert topbills Bayang Barrios and Russian singer Rumiya Niyazova

The spellbinding ethnic music of Russia and the Philippines will be showcased in an exciting concert this Sunday, January 22 at the Asia Pacific College Auditorium in Magallanes, Makati City.

Dubbed Beyond Borders: A Cultural Dialogue of Music, the concert is being presented by the Nadezhda Foundation and JB Music. It brings together Russian singer Rumiya Niyazova and various Filipino ethnic music performers led by Agusan del Sur-based singer Bayang Barrios and her band Naliyagan, guitarist Jerome Rico, String Fusion, and the Binan Folkloric Dance Troupe.

Ms. Rumiya Niyazova is flying in from Moscow upon the invitation of NADEZHDA Foundation and the support of the Russian Embassy in the Philippines. She’s an accomplished singer and theater actress and is a resident performer at the LDM Theatre in St Petersburg, Russia. For three years now she has been playing major roles in the theatre’s musical productions. 

She was also in the cast of The Sure Thing, a television series aired on RenTV. She currently anchors a travel show aired by the Russian Travel Guide channel. Rumiya was a three-time winner of the International Tatar Song Festival.

Rumiya completed her studies at the Moscow Institute of Culture and the Arts. For this concert, the sultry-looking singer will perform the music of Tatarstan, an autonomous republic situated within Russia where the largest ethnic groups are the Tatars. Their traditional music is a mixture of Turkic, Mongolic ad Finno-Ugric elements that bridge Mongolian and Hungarian music. Secular songs and sacred music are all part of Tatar music.

Award-winning singer/songwriter Bayang Barrios is a 35-year veteran and lead singer of the band Naliyagan. Named after the Manobo word, meaning “the chosen,” Naliyagan’s musicians include Bayang’s husband Andrew Barrios who plays the guitar and hegalong (an indigenous two-stringed lute), Yan Bagay Cruz on bass, Budeths Casinto on percussions, Jape Bongat on keyboards and kulintang (small tuned gongs played with mallets), and Matt Bravante on drums and bamboo percussions.

A proud Manobo from Agusan del Sur, Bayang Barrios early in her career joined Joey Ayala’s band, the iconic Ang Bagong Lumad. This band has been famous for using indigenous musical instruments and giving ethnic music a more contemporary sound. She stayed with Ang Bagong Lumad for almost 20 years performing in various countries around the world. Prior to being the lead vocal of Naliyagan, Bayang performed as a solo artist. She also became a social activist whose advocacy is championing the rights of the indigenous people.

It was in 1997 when Barrios became the recipient of the Lorenzo Ruiz Award given by the Catholic Mass Media Awards. Six years later she won the Metropop Music Festival for the song she composed, “Malayo Man, Malapit Din.”

Born in Bataan, guitarist Jerome Rico has made a name for himself for performing romantic standards and the hit songs from the 1980s. His debut album Guitar Shop was released by Warner Music Philippines. The album’s lead track is a cover of Astrud Gilberto’s “Agua de Beber.” It features backup vocals by bossa nova singer Sitti.

Jerome Rico’s musical inspiration includes jazz instrumentalists Tuck Andres, George Benson, Lee Ritenour, and David Benoit. At age 16 he started playing the guitar and focused on the music he enjoys, particularly the standards and the recordings of his favorite jazz artists.

The String Fusion band is composed of six musicians; Maze Lim on the violin, Irish Glenn Portugal on cello, Marloe Maruyama on bass, Migs Raneses on guitar, Rafael del Rosario on piano, and Alan Abdula on drums. The band’s repertoire is diverse. They perform OPM hits, the standards, jazz, and popular movie and TV series themes.

Established in 2016, the Binan Folkloric Dance Troupe is composed of 39 dancers, all of whom were trained by the group’s resident choreographer Jordan B. Sarcia with the assistance of Arvin J. Bongon.

They’ve been a fixture in major cultural events and its own concerts in Laguna and in various cities around the country, including Metro Manila.

Beyond orders: A Cultural Dialogue of Music is produced by Sandra Lim Viray with Faye Miravite of Nadezhda Foundation, and Tony Alcasid. The show starts at 7 pm. Tickets are priced at P1, 500 (free seating with cocktails served at 6 pm). For ticket inquiries, visit www.ticketmax.ph or call or text 09154979909.
