SM Retail closed the year with an unforgettable celebration that honored the people who moved and grooved to the country’s largest retail chain to success. That’s the vibe that brought the SM Retail community together for One Move One Groove, the 2025 Year End Party.
The celebration gathered teams from SM Fashion, SM Retail Head Office, SM Store, and the SM Retail affiliate business unit heads. Ms. Tessie Sy Coson also attended the event, adding significance to a night dedicated to the people who drive the organization forward.
One incredible performance after another made the night impossible to forget.
The program opened with a powerful introduction performance from SM’s very own, NU Chorale and NU Dance Company, followed by the hosts setting the tone towards the 2025 Lookback Video. The feature revisited key milestones and highlighted the people behind the success why SM Retail remains the “hall of fame”. It served as a reminder that progress at SM Retail is powered by our DELITE Values.
The SayaONE Dance Showdown lit up the stage with creativity, rhythm, and teamwork. Performances from SM Store, Merchandise Planning, Finance, Information Technology Services, and SM Fashion showcased the vibrant energy of our people and the spirit of One Move One Groove. It was a clear picture of what it feels like to belong to a workplace where talent, camaraderie, and confidence grow together.
