SM, BDO treat families of OFWs through Pamaskong Handog 2022

OFW families usually have the hardest Christmas as they don't usually celebrate being together with their loved ones that are far away. As a daughter who has an OFW mother, this is always the case for us. Nowadays, it's easier to celebrate holidays because of technology. Also thanks to the OFW communities and different groups for organizing small activities for OFW families to complete the holiday spirit.
 
In line with this, SM Supermalls and BDO are once again bringing a one-of-a-kind, fun Christmas celebration to overseas Filipinos and their families with Pamaskong Handog events happening in SM City Santa Rosa on December 3, SM City Iloilo on December 10, and SM CDO Downtown Premiere on December 17 at 2PM.

Massive prizes, entertainment, and bonding moments await the OFWs and their beneficiaries at the "Pamaskong Handog 2022 with the theme Kita-Kits Muli sa SM". Never miss out on the special performance of BDO Remit endorser Piolo Pascual and comedians MC & Lassy who will be hosting all three events. For added fun and humor, comedians Ate Gay and Regina will be performing in SM City Sta. Rosa and SM City Iloilo, while Divine Tetay and Tonton Soriano will be at the SM CDO Downtown Premiere.

Aside from celebrity shows, SM affiliates will give away exclusive deals and discounts for Kabayan Savings account holders. Discounts are available every day at SM throughout December. Avail Miniso’s Php300 discount on Mondays; Php500 off at the SM Stores on Tuesdays; 10% off at Surplus Shop on Wednesdays; and on Thursdays, SM Supermarket, SM Hypermarket, and SM Savemore will be giving cheese balls for free! There is also a Php500 off discount from the Baby Company which started last November 15 and will run until December 31.

As a special holiday gift, BDO is offering a special promo for overseas Filipinos and their beneficiaries. They can get up to PHP20,000 waived fees on Home Loan and PHP30,000 waived fees for Auto Loan. Also, participants in the events get a chance to win PHP1M worth of insurance coverage from BDO Life, cash prizes, and freebies from BDO Cash, as well as special gifts from BDO Network Bank.

BDO and partner sponsors, Western Union and WorldRemit, will also have bingo, games, and a raffle for the participants.  Plus, BDO will provide financial tips on savings and investment to help overseas Filipinos plan their futures as part of this year’s Pamaskong Handog.

To join the Pamaskong Handog event, BDO Kabayan Savings account holders plus one (1) companion each just need to present their ATM card or passbook.

Overseas Filipinos may join the fun by watching the live streaming of the Pamaskong Handog events on the BDO Kabayan Facebook page with a special viewing inside BDO Remit and BDO Unibank offices in Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, France, and the United Arab Emirates.

There’s going to be a ton of fun as balikbayans and their families get to celebrate the holidays again at SM. Since 2012, Pamaskong Handog provided entertainment and gifts for overseas Filipino and their beneficiaries. And although the celebration has gone virtual due to the pandemic, BDO and SM didn’t stop spreading happiness during the most wonderful time of the year,
