Employees of SM City Iloilo gladly volunteered last Oct. 1, to deliver the brand new school shoes to the students of the said school.
The shoes came with a card with a message of inspiration for the recipient, personally written by the employee who bought the particular pair/s.

Asst. Mall Manager Marilee Biboso in her remarks reiterated the importance of education and how a good pair of a shoes can greatly help in the daily grind of the students in going to school.
