SM City Olongapo Central, SM City Olongapo Downtown and the rest of SM malls support the Department of Energy Philippines’ O.N.E.: Oras Natin sa Efficiency Campaign by turning off non-essential lights across SM Malls nationwide on May 25, 2026 from 8PM to 9PM.
The program promotes efficient energy use by encouraging organizations and the public to switch off non-essential lighting and reduce electricity consumption.
Through this initiative, SM reinforces its commitment to sustainability and responsible energy use. By taking part, SM aims to help raise awareness, encourage participation among tenants and customers, and contribute to strengthening the country’s energy security.
The mall switched off the lights of the mall signage, façade, pylon towers, dropdown banners, landscaping, and related areas and minimize the lights by 50% in the mall hallways, lobbies, and perimeter.
By powering down facade lights and lowering interior brightness, SM helped reduce peak demand on national power grid. It’s a meaningful habit that can result measurable impact on the country’s power system and long-term energy resilience.
