The word HAPHOW is an acronym for six core values: Humility, Acceptance, Patience, Honesty, Open-Mindedness, and Willingness. These values are woven into a magical story set in the lush forest of Kalinaw, where a cast of colorful insect characters embark on personal journeys of growth, friendship, and courage. Along the way, they learn not just how to live with each other but how to live with purpose.
Leading the cast is acclaimed Filipino singer and stage actor Gerald Santos, portraying HAPHOW himself, a character symbolic of change, truth, and transformation. “We built HAPHOW to reflect the emotional and moral struggles, especially the youth are facing today,” says Ms. MJ Aspacio, the show’s director, playwright, and composer. “The story is simple, but the message runs deep. We want audiences to walk out not only entertained, but inspired to live with more kindness, patience, and love for nature and one another.”
At its core, HAPHOW is a celebration of the Filipino spirit: resilient, warm, and values-driven. It highlights not only the importance of character-building, but also the role of the arts in shaping the next generation.
The production is mounted by CityDanse Academy (CDA) Corp., with a mission to make quality, value-based performing arts accessible to families, schools, and communities.
With future plans for a national tour and school-based performances, HAPHOW aims to become a staple for values education and Filipino cultural pride.
The Philippines is poised to be a model of disaster resilience and smarter governance in Southeast Asia where citizens will have peace of mind knowing that help is just a message or call away, regardless of their location.
This is what Don Ferguson, co-founder of the next generation advanced 911 emergencyresponse technology currently being used in the United States and Europe, and CEO of NGA 911 LLC based in the US, said after noting that a growing number of local government units (LGUs) in the Philippines have already put up their own cutting-edge public safety systems.
Heeding the call of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) for a unified, nationwide 911 emergency response system that utilizes modern technology, Morong, Rizal, Alaminos City in Pangasinan, Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City, Mambajao in Camiguin Island, Bustos, Bulacan and Tagbilaran City, Bohol became the First LGUs to invest in the state-of-the-art emergency response command centers. Command centers in these areas now use advanced technologies like IP-based networks and multimedia capabilities that have improved emergency response efficiency and effectiveness, so distress calls can be answered and attended to on-site in just 3 to 5 minutes. The new technology also enables more robust and flexible communication between emergency callers and dispatch centers and allows transmission of multimedia data like text, photos and video. Prank callers can be identified and eliminated from the conversation.
Ferguson said the advanced technology now used by the local command centers will enable the LGUs to operate with greater coordination, accountability and data-driven decision-making.
This is due to the advanced technology’s precise geolocation and real-time data. Citizens will also be able to send texts, photos, and videos that will give responders critical information before they arrive on the scene. LGUs are able to coordinate more effectively, especially during large-scale disasters where speed and clarity are essential. The system enhances public trust by making emergency assistance more accessible and reliable, while also improving frontliner safety by providing better situational awareness, Ferguson added.
The future will be bright, announced Ferguson. “With a modern infrastructure in place, the country will attract more investment and tourism. Ultimately, the Philippines will be recognized not just for its beauty and culture, but for its leadership in innovation and commitment to saving lives.” The unified emergency system will reinforce public confidence because it will signal that safety and risk management are top priorities, Ferguson shared. “Tourists are more likely to visit regions with dependable emergency services, which boosts local economic growth. Centralized data enables better governance through increased transparency, accountability, and performance monitoring. This transformation also creates jobs and drives innovation in tech and public safety sectors. Overall, it strengthens and enhances the Philippines’ global reputation as a resilient and well-managed nation.”

Both sets are served with a variety of carefully prepared side dishes, each chosen to round out the meal and bring out the essence of Korean flavors.
Paldo also offers a range of drinks that perfectly suit the bold flavors of each meal, making every bite even more satisfying.

About SM Supermalls
SM Supermalls, a division of SM Prime Holdings, Inc., is the Philippines’ leading developer, operator, and owner of world-class malls. SM Supermalls is dedicated to fostering sustainable and community-centric developments. Through initiatives like job fairs, SM Supermalls continues to play a pivotal role in nation-building, offering opportunities that transform lives and contribute to the well-being of Filipino communities.
The effects of the 7.7 magnitude earthquakes in Myanmar and the aftershocks in Thailand continue to be seen months after the events. The ultimate question is asked: Are we prepared for “The Big One”?
As one of the most vulnerable countries to disaster and climate risk, SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), the leading integrated property developer in Southeast Asia, continues to reinforce its commitment to disaster resiliency and heightened climate action.
The role of education
To increase the capacity of readiness within the institution and its communities, SM Prime continues to advocate for emergency preparedness and the general public’s continued education.
SM Cares, SM Prime’s foundation arm, facilitates the annual Emergency Preparedness Forum to help mallgoers learn about emergency procedures, putting importance on staying calm to reduce panic and anxiety, basic first aid, life-saving techniques, and preparing senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWD) in an actual emergency.
Seniors and Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) are vulnerable during emergencies and disasters because of anxiety, health, and mobility limitations.
As the largest and fastest-growing residential sector developer, SM Development Corporation (SMDC)’s disaster preparedness training, Ready to Rescue, covers essential topics from fire and earthquake drills to water safety and first aid training programs to help residents face an emergency should it arise.
SM Development Corporation (SMDC)’s first aid and water safety training help residents respond effectively until first responders arrive.
Through SM Prime’s role within the Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies Philippines (ARISE-Philippines), training and education opportunities on disaster risk reduction and resilience are made more accessible within the local network.
Together with ARISE Japan and India, two of the largest in the global community, knowledge sharing on the latest technologies in disaster risk reduction helps toward understanding large-scale disaster prevention and identifies opportunities for further improvement and response.

Collaborations for the climate
In a Climate Fresk Workshop with The Transmutation Principle, SM Prime, together with host SM Hotels, gathered friends from the corporate and non-profit sustainability space to learn more about the science behind climate change–its drivers, mechanisms, and consequences–including mitigation, adaptation, and circular economy principles.
Sustainability champions from corporate and non-government agencies together for a Climate Fresk Workshop at the SMX Convention Center Aura.
“It was an exciting and valuable experience for us, given our advocacy for climate change resilience. The workshop succeeded in making it more accessible and relatable, particularly for individuals who are already aware of its effects on their respective industries,” says Oscar M. Lopez (OML) Center participant Charmaine Vitan.
The gamified workshop originated from a French non-profit organization and is based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. Facilitated by local Philippine Freskers, it teaches the fundamentals of climate science – mapping key interdependencies between nature, biodiversity and human activities to ‘solve’ the complex narrative of climate change. The workshop was held at the SMX Convention Center Aura.
“It invited everyone–not just one sector–to collaborate and participate in fields of knowledge that are seemingly not connected at all. To quote a groupmate, the immediate causes and effects of market actions are clear, but the bigger picture is clear when we collaborate with one another,” says World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)-Philippines participant Joaquin Campos.
Building a resilient tomorrow
Always ahead of the curve, SM Prime strategically looks beyond the current industry needs and focuses on what can reduce risk and build long-term value.
For SM Prime, an Environmental, Social, Governance, and Resilience (ESG + R) strategy ensures that the company is building for the security of future generations. SM Prime continues to focus its efforts on infrastructure resilience, disaster risk management strategies, readiness and swift response, and capacity building to create institutional readiness and help educate and shape public awareness.
“Resilience is a way of life. It is a commitment to ensure that we act on our responsibility to care for others so that no one is left behind,” said Mr. Hans Sy, SM Prime Executive Committee Chairman.
