JUNE 2024 – ‘Di mapagkakaila ang sakripisyong ginagawa ng Overseas Filipinos (OFs) para mabigyan ng magandang kinabukasan ang kanilang pamilya.
Kaya naman bilang pasasalamat, nag-partner ang BDO Unibank, Inc. (BDO) at SM sa pag-launch ng Kabayan Tuesday – isang exclusive promo para sa OF families para maging mas nakakatuwa ang kanilang pag- bonding sa SM malls.
Sa Kabayan Tuesday, may up to 10% off ang OF families every first Tuesday of the month sa buong taon ng 2024 sa lahat ng branches nationwide ng SM Store, SM Appliance, Watsons, Miniso, Toy Kingdom, Surplus, Baby Company, Sports Central, ACE Hardware, SM Cinema, SM Game Park, SM Bowling, and SM Skating. Kailangan lang ipakita ang kanilang Kabayan ATM card o passbook, o BDO remittance slip para ma-avail ang discount.
Para i-celebrate ang exclusive offer, nagpa-mall show ang SM at BDO sa kakabukas lang na SM City Caloocan – “Kabayan Tuesday Mall Show with Piolo” – nitong June 4, 2024.
Pagkilala sa mga OFs
Parehong misyon ng BDO at SM na gawing makabuluhan, convenient at masaya ang experience ng Filipino families.
Ang Kabayan Tuesday ay isang paraan ng BDO para mapasalamatan ang OF families at maparating na ang BDO ay kanilang partner sa kanilang mga pangarap.
Hangad din ng SM na bigyang parangal ang OF families dahil malaking parte sila ng komunidad, at magbigay pasasalamat dahil kasama ang SM sa kanilang bonding moments.
Hindi rin nagtapos ang programa nang walang sorpresa para sa isang napiling OF family, na pinasaya mismo ng BDO ambassador na si Piolo Pascual.
Sorpresa para sa isang Kabayan
Bago matapos ang programa, nagpakita si Piolo hindi lamang para batiin ang mga manonood at mag-perform ng kanyang mga signature songs – kung hindi para sorpresahin din ang pamilya ng Japan-based na OF na si Maritess Magtabog: ang kanyang anak na si Jhared, at kapatid na si Dolores Castaneda.
Matapos kantahan, inimbitahan sila ni Piolo ng isang shopping spree sa SM Store at iba pang partner stores na kasama sa Kabayan Tuesday. Ang shopping spree ay nagsisilbing pasasalamat ng BDO sa kanila bilang loyal na Kabayan Savings account holders.
Matapos ang 22 taon ng pagta-trabaho sa Japan, nakabili sina Maritess ng kanilang sariling bahay sa Caloocan sa tulong ng BDO.
Sabi ni Piolo, “Nag-enjoy akong kilalanin ang Magtabog family. Bilang nagtrabaho rin ako abroad, alam ko ang sakripisyong ginagawa ni Maritess, kaya isang karangalan na makilala ko sila. Sana marami pang kabayan natin ang makapag-avail ng offer na ito mula sa BDO at SM, at lagi rin nilang maalala na kasama nila ang BDO at SM.”
Ang Kabayan Tuesday ay initiative ng BDO, in partnership with SM, na may special discounts of up to 10% off sa lahat ng branches nationwide ng SM Store, SM Appliance, Watsons, Miniso, Toy Kingdom, Surplus, Baby Company, Sports Central, ACE Hardware, SM Cinema, SM Game Park, SM Bowling, at SM Skating.

BDO, SM launch Kabayan Tuesday for Overseas Filipino families, cap off celebration with heartwarming surprise from Piolo Pascual
Avail up to 10% discount from your favorite stores, every first Tuesday of the month!
MANILA, PHILIPPINES, JUNE 2024 – As Overseas Filipinos (OFs) tirelessly work day in and out for their nearest and dearest, weathering the distance for months and years at a time, not only do they sacrifice merely for their families, but their home country.
In expressing gratitude, BDO and SM launched Kabayan Tuesday – an exclusive promo for OF families to make their shopping experiences more rewarding. Applicable every first Tuesday of the month this 2024,
OF families just need to present their Kabayan ATM card or passbook or BDO remittance payment slip to avail discounts of up to 10% off from all branches nationwide of the SM Store, SM Appliance, Watsons, Miniso, Toy Kingdom, Surplus, Baby Company, Sports Central, ACE Hardware, SM Cinema, SM Game Park, SM Bowling, and SM Skating.
The special offer was celebrated through a fun-filled event “Kabayan Tuesday Mall Show with Piolo” last June 4 at the newly-opened SM City Caloocan.
A celebration befitting OFs’ contributions
Both BDO and SM have long shared the vision of making everyday experiences more meaningful, convenient, and rewarding for Filipino families.
Kabayan Tuesday is one of BDO’s ways of saying thank you to OF families and to let them know that they always have a partner in BDO.
With Kabayan Tuesday, SM puts the spotlight on OF families, who make up a great part of their community – and expresses its gratitude for making SM a part of their family bonding moments.
But in what had been the event’s biggest surprise and yet most heartwarming segment, BDO ambassador Piolo Pascual also paid a visit not only to greet mall-goers and to be part of the launch – but also give an unforgettable surprise to an OF family.
Sweet serenade-slash-shopping-spree surprise
Halfway through the event, Piolo wove his way through the crowd, making his way towards the son and sister of Japan-based Filipino worker, Maritess Magtabog.
After dedicating a few songs, Piolo invited them to a shopping spree at SM Store and other stores participating in Kabayan Tuesday to honor their loyalty as BDO Kabayan Savings account holders over the years.
The Magtabog family, with their mother’s hard work abroad for 22 years, has earned them the opportunity to buy their own house through BDO in Caloocan.
Says Piolo of the experience, “Spending time with the Magtabog family was a very refreshing and fun experience. As a fellow OF before, I’m aware of the sacrifices our kabayans make all year long, and it was an honor to spend time with them. I hope more OFs can seize the opportunity to make their loved ones’ shopping experiences even more rewarding, and always remember that they have a partner in both BDO and SM.”
Kabayan Tuesday is an initiative of BDO, in partnership with SM, that gives special discounts of up to 10% off from all branches nationwide of the SM Store, SM Appliance, Watsons, Miniso, Toy Kingdom, Surplus, Baby Company, Sports Central, ACE Hardware, SM Cinema, SM Game Park, SM Bowling, and SM Skating.
