The future of employment in the Philippines' wholesale and retail trade sector got a major boost on June 16, 2025. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), together with the Philippine Retailers Association (PRA) and the Supply Chain Management Association of the Philippines (SCMAP), officially launched Section G: Job Blueprint for the Wholesale and Retail Trade Sector at SM City North EDSA. The initiative included a two-day job fair, offering immediate hiring opportunities to Filipino job seekers.
Industry support and
immediate impact
The job fair, which offered hundreds of career opportunities
from leading retailers and logistics providers, drew a diverse crowd of job
seekers eager to engage with PRA and SCMAP member companies recruiting for
roles in merchandising, warehousing, logistics, and frontline retail.
“This is more than just a job fair—it’s a call to action,” said Joaquin San Agustin, Executive Vice President of Marketing at SM Supermalls. “We are proud to partner with DTI, PRA, and SCMAP in hosting this meaningful initiative that connects people to opportunity and promotes inclusive employment.”
SM Supermalls, as host venue and promotional partner,
reinforced its commitment to national workforce development and economic
recovery. This event is part of SM’s ongoing support for programs that empower
micro-, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), job seekers, and industry
players.
