Following the Holy Mass, a balloon burst took center stage at the mall. This colorful spectacle symbolized the future of SM City Caloocan and energized the attendees. SM employees and tenants participated in the festivities, kicking off a series of opening activities.

"We are very excited to open SM City Caloocan to the public and offer a complete shopping experience, with good services, convenience, sustainable features and more," said SM Supermalls' Vice President for Operations Junias Eusebio. "Caloocan is a very populous market, and we already have two SM malls located in the southern side of the city. There is a dense population here in the north as well, and we want to be able to serve them too."
