SM City Marikina, SM City Masinag, SM City San Mateo, and SM Center Antipolo Downtown are hosting a set of Grandparents’ Day activities for families in the East Metro.

Capture moments with lolo and lola

Life Four Cuts, a photo-strip booth chain, is available at SM City Masinag and SM City San Mateo. Photo Objet, offering the same photo-strip format, is at SM City Marikina. Both let groups step into a booth and walk out with a printed strip of photos within minutes, without needing to book ahead.

Heartwarming dinner

Viking’s buffet restaurant, located at SM City Marikina, is included in the lineup as a group dining option. The buffet format allows a single table to order once and let each family member choose their own dishes.

Enjoy live music

SM City Masinag has live buskers performing sets in the mall’s open areas, along with a free-to-use Public Piano set up in the concourse. The piano is accessible to anyone who wants to sit down and play, not just designated performers.

Buskers perform sets of older Filipino songs in the open areas of SM City Masinag throughout Grandparents’ Day.

Watch reruns

SM Cinema branches at Marikina, Masinag, and San Mateo are screening Philippine cinema classics alongside current theatrical releases, giving families the option to catch an older film together instead of only new titles.
