UMVA has learned that SM Prime Holdings’ retail arm has launched a Government Services Express center inside SM Center San Pedro, turning the bustling mall into a one‑stop gateway for a host of public services.
The new hub consolidates essential agencies—business licensing, police, civil registry, and national investigations—under one roof, allowing job seekers, entrepreneurs, families, and residents to complete paperwork in a single, streamlined visit.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the center empowers citizens to secure employment documents, obtain permits, manage civil records, and access health and social protection services without the usual maze of separate trips.
The ribbon‑cutting ceremony drew city leaders and mall officials, underscoring a bold partnership between public authorities and the private sector aimed at expanding service accessibility for the community.
In a parallel push for greener urban living, SM Supermalls has broadened its SM Pedal Power initiative, installing bike‑friendly lanes, secure parking, and dedicated infrastructure across a network of malls nationwide.
Participating locations now include sites in Marikina, Masinag, San Mateo, Antipolo, San Lazaro, Clark, Olongapo, Rosario, Lucena, Cebu, and The Podium, signaling a sweeping commitment to sustainable mobility.
