The activity was formally started with a simple prayer and the Philippine National Anthem which was led by Ms. Edwina Oco. This was followed by a message coming from Mr. Braga, then a message from the SM City Naga Management Representative.

‘Planet Earth’ and ‘Project Noel’ were the movies shown. Such movies promote advocacy in caring for Mother Earth. Appreciation of God’s creations and valuing those are inculcated in the minds of the viewers. Indeed, such movies help the community be more responsible citizens of the country in terms of environmental management and conversation.
