  The SM Waste-Free Future initiative endeavors to reduce waste generation and increase the rate of diversion. It is not “out of sight, out of mind”; landfills are not just eyesores in remote areas, but they also pose a significant health risk to the communities around them and emit a substantial amount of greenhouse gases from decaying food waste. The RDC, or Recyclable, Disposable, and Compostable bins at SM Supermalls, are not only for show but serve as the start of the journey to achieve a net-zero landfill and beyond. SM has recycled 130,250kg of its internal non-essential documents through its bulk paper recycling program. SM’s environmental programs, such as the monthly Trash to Cash recycling market, continue to support communities towards sustainable living.

I n Warner Bros.' new comedy “Arthur” – a fresh new look at a classic story – Russell Brand re-invents the role of loveable billionaire Arthur Bach, an irresponsible charmer who has always relied on two things to get by: his limitless fortune and the good sense of lifelong nanny Hobson (Academy Award® winner Helen Mirren) to keep him out of trouble.

Fresh from the success of her directorial debut My Amanda in July, Alessandra de Rossi is now setting her sights on different waters. This time around it’s music, which she’s revisited more vigorously as of late: adopting the functional moniker ADR, reissuing her 2012 debut Adrift via Lilystars Records, even penning songs for her films.  The difference is it’s other people’s music now. And no, De Rossi isn’t simply pimping playlists or fawning over new discoveries on her socials. She’s taking things a notch higher, putting up her own label AWOOO Records , which she’s formally unveiling to the public today (September 24) after making an under-the-radar announcement earlier in the month. To the character-actress-turned-indie-darling, it’s not so much about scratching a visionary itch but passing deserving talents the mic. “I think [Filipinos] really stand a chance in changing how the world looks and sounds,” she says, confident that local music can enjoy the same attention other art...

The Philippines'  Pasig River , the cradle of early Manila civilization, has been selected as a finalist in the first ever Asia Riverprize by the prestigious  International River Foundation  (IRF) which recognizes and rewards organizations who are making a difference through effective river basin restoration and management programs.  It is a back-to-back nomination for the  Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission  (PRRC) who just came from a successful campaign in the 2017 Thiess International Riverprize competition where the Pasig River was hailed as runner-up to the winner, San Antonio River of Texas, USA.  PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio E.
