SM Mall of Asia (MOA) once again became a powerful symbol of hope, movement, and collective action as 13,500 runners laced up to celebrate Earth Day 2025 through the Galaxy Earth Day Run Manila Leg. More than just a simple race, the event was a bold statement: when we run together, we move closer to a sustainable future.

“Earth Day fuels a movement, and seeing 13,500 champions run at the SM Mall of Asia Complex underscores our commitment. We empower Filipinos to champion sustainability through every step, big or small, building a greener future together,” said Joaquin San Agustin, SM Supermalls Executive Vice President for Marketing.
