MANILA, Philippines – After the National University men’s basketball team ended its 60-year UAAP title drought, fans took to social media to urge SM Supermalls - the school's chief benefactor - to hold a shopping sale to celebrate the team's victory.
Apparently, the shopping sale was not just a claptrap gossip.
Put on your most comfortable shoes and head straight to an SM branch this weekend. To celebrate the Bulldogs' win, SM Supermalls will be holding a "victory sale" from October 24 to 26.
SM confirmed the news on October 19 via their Twitter account.
A special 3-day Sale is on for the @NU_Bulldogs' #UAAP win on Oct 24-26 at @smcity_manila @smcitysanlazaro & @smcity_stamesa #SMVictorySale
