SM Supermalls champions MSMEs at SM Dagupan’s Bangus Festival Food Fiesta

 Dagupan sizzled with pride, flavor, and Filipino flair as SM Center Dagupan brought the heat to the city’s iconic Bangus Festival with its dynamic Bangus Festival Food Fiesta and up-to-70% summer sale, all while proudly championing local entrepreneurship through SM for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

In a city known as the Milkfish Capital of the Philippines, the annual Bangus Festival was more than just a celebration — it was a heartfelt tribute to the hardworking people and rich culture that made Dagupan shine. And this year, SM Center Dagupan didn’t just join the party — it elevated it.

Joseph Manuel Pamittan (center), along with the MSMEs, at the launch of the Bangus Festival Food Fiesta at SM Center Dagupan in Pangasinan.

From April 25 to 30, SM shoppers and festival-goers enjoyed a feast for the senses with flavorful bangus-inspired delicacies, cultural exhibits, and handcrafted local products — all made possible by MSMEs proudly featured under the SM for MSMEs program.
