The SM Mall of Asia (MOA) has recently introduced its magnificent new attraction, the 55,000-sq.m. MOA Sky, with an unveiling event that was truly exceptional. It was a flurry of entertainment, festivities, and community enthusiasm, presenting attendees with memorable experiences.
A magnificent inauguration filled with dance and motivation
The festivities commenced with an enthralling performance by the National University (NU) Dance Company, followed by an uplifting address from SM Supermalls President Steven Tan, who emphasized the MOA Sky’s vision and its importance to the community.
“The MOA Sky is not merely an extension; it represents a thrilling evolution. SM MOA has already been recognized as a world-class destination, ranking among the top 10 largest malls globally, but today, alongside a variety of new retailers and esteemed tenant partners within the mall — we offer a larger-than-life playground where every encounter is grander and more vibrant,” he expressed.
