MANILA, Philippines — The SM group is set to honor Winter Olympian figure skater Michael Martinez as he comes home from a much-lauded performance at the Sochi Games in Russia.
SM, in whose mall Martinez learned skating, has organized a motorcade at the Mall of Asia on Sunday at 4 p.m. which will culminate in an awarding ceremony inside the mall, SM Prime Holdings said in a press statement on Thursday.
The company is likewise preparing “surprise” gifts for the Olympian.
“We are very proud of Michael,” SM Prime Holdings president Hans Sy said. “He is a shining example for the youth as someone who saw no limits to what he can achieve.” Doris C. Dumlao
