Largest Autism Advocacy Gathering in Southeast Asia: 47,500 Unite Nationwide for 2026 ASP Angels Walk with SM

Thousands of participants gather at SM Mall of Asia Arena for the ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026, demonstrating nationwide support for autism acceptance, accommodation and appreciation.

On April 26, 2026, the Autism Society Philippines (ASP), in partnership with SM Cares and its allies, brought together 47,500 advocates and supporters across the country for the ASP Angels Walk for Autism. This record-breaking turnout reflects the growing momentum behind the autism community and underscores the success of collaborative efforts by SM Cares and ASP to build an “Autism-OK Philippines.”

United voices and shared purpose take center stage at ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026, as Mr. Hans Sy officially cues the walk for inclusion.

For nearly two decades, SM has hosted the ASP Angels Walk, transforming a vital advocacy into a meaningful celebration of inclusion, dignity, and hope. This year, the movement reached even further by holding simultaneous walks in SM malls and key locations nationwide, empowering communities to take part in shaping a more inclusive society.

A stage performance highlights talent and inclusion during the ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026 program, reinforcing its message of advocacy, representation, and community engagement.

“ASP Angels Walk reminds us that inclusion is about creating space—and more importantly, making people feel they truly belong. At SM, we are honored to walk alongside the autism community, their families, and fellow advocates who have long shown us the power of courage and perseverance. Our commitment is to pursue transformative inclusivity: empowering communities until every person is seen, supported, and given the chance to thrive.” — Steven Tan, President, SM Supermalls

Barrier-Free Inclusion and Meaningful Action

This year’s theme — “Aumbitious. Aarangkada. Aangat.” — challenged advocates to turn discussions and aspirations into tangible, life-changing actions that advance true inclusivity.

In preparation for the event, the SM Mall of Asia Arena team completed specialized training under the Department of Tourism’s “Barrier-Free Tourism Kaya Natin” program. The session focused on improving accessibility and ensuring the safety, comfort, and well-being of guests on the autism spectrum while inside the venue.

The program also highlighted key partners and leaders making a lasting impact:

 

SM Book Nook receives the ASP Autism Works Partner of the Year Award, represented by Ms. Hanna Carinna Sy, recognizing its commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for the autism community.

- SM Book Nook received the ASP Autism Works Partner of the Year award, recognizing how inclusive community spaces open doors to learning, connection, and belonging.

- Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte was honored with the Hans T. Sy Leadership Award for Autism Inclusion and Welfare, celebrating leadership that creates meaningful, long-term support for the autism community.

A Growing, Collaborative Movement

Families and participants join the walk during the ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026, highlighting community support and inclusive participation.

Since it began, the ASP Angels Walk has evolved into a nationwide movement championing inclusion and bringing the vision of an Autism-OK Philippines closer to reality. It aligns with SM’s ongoing mission to be truly “Malls for All” — welcoming, accommodating, and appreciative of every customer, regardless of their needs or abilities.

SM employee volunteers gather in solidarity during the ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026, demonstrating corporate and community support for autism inclusion.

As a steadfast partner of ASP, SM Cares remains dedicated to creating spaces and programs that support the autism community all year round. Through sustained efforts in accessibility, engagement, and education, SM continues to stand with individuals on the spectrum and their families — working toward a future where no one is left behind.

Participants gather at SM City Olongapo Central and SM City Lipa as part of the simultaneous nationwide staging of ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026, underscoring broad community support for autism inclusion across regions.

Participants, including families and children, join the ASP Angels Walk for Autism 2026 at SM City Tuguegarao and SM City Davao, reflecting widespread community support and inclusive participation across regions.

Garmin’s ‘Women of Endurance’ Campaign: Turning Everyday Moments Into Testaments of Strength

From Art to Data: A Fresh Look at the Realities of Motherhood 

This Mother’s Day 2026, Garmin launches its Women of Endurance campaign, shining a light on the quiet resilience of women—especially mothers—as they juggle multiple roles and navigate the physical and mental demands of daily life. The initiative draws a powerful parallel: the endurance required of competitive athletes is no different from the strength women demonstrate every single day, even if their efforts often go unseen.

To bring these experiences to life, Garmin partnered with female artist Chouyi to create a series of vibrant illustrations that reimagine familiar moments through a new lens. Carrying a child up several flights of stairs mirrors the intensity of a HIIT workout; the walk home after a long day feels like crossing a finish line; and chasing little ones or managing household chaos resembles navigating a 10-kilometer obstacle course. Through delicate brushwork and rich colors, these artworks capture the lived reality of women everywhere, revealing a level of focus and determination equal to that of athletes facing high-stakes challenges.

Making Invisible Fatigue Visible 

While art helps us visualize these efforts, Garmin wearables turn them into measurable insights—making daily fatigue easier to identify and understand. 

For many women, exhaustion builds up gradually into what experts call “invisible fatigue”: a form of tiredness that is hard to quantify and often overlooked. Psychological studies show that women report fatigue more frequently than men, yet their weariness is frequently underestimated by others. This disconnect means their struggles are often felt but unrecognized—even as it underscores their incredible ability to adapt and keep going despite constant pressure.

Garmin’s campaign aims to change this narrative, positioning its devices as trusted partners that help women prioritize their health every day.

Backed by health science, Garmin wearables track key metrics such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), stress levels, and sleep quality. These data points feed into Body Battery™, an intuitive score ranging from 0 to 100 that quantifies your body’s energy levels—giving you a clear picture of how much you’re exerting yourself and when it’s time to recover.

To help women use this information effectively, Garmin recommends five key strategies to build a personalized recovery routine:

- Spot fragmented sleep: Parenting often disrupts rest, affecting how your body recovers. Garmin’s Sleep Coach, powered by Firstbeat Analytics™, identifies periods of low-quality sleep so you can adjust your routine or seek support when needed.

- Track stress patterns: Persistently high stress signals your body is under strain. Simple guided breathing exercises can help lower stress levels and restore calm.

- Monitor recovery and immunity: HRV often shifts during menstrual cycles, after insufficient rest, or right before illness strikes. Tracking these trends lets you prioritize rest before exhaustion or sickness sets in.

- Understand dietary effects: Use Garmin’s Lifestyle Logging feature to see how foods and drinks like caffeine, alcohol, or high-sugar items impact metrics such as breathing rate—helping you align your diet with what your body actually needs.

- Embrace active rest: Just like elite athletes, intentional rest is vital for maintaining performance and overall wellness. Taking short breaks or engaging in light activity can be just as important as exercise.

Through the Women of Endurance campaign, Garmin encourages women everywhere—and mothers in particular—to take control of their well-being. By bringing hidden energy depletion into view, we can start the journey toward real, lasting recovery.

Exclusive Mother’s Day Offers 

To celebrate this campaign, Garmin is offering up to 18% off selected wellness watches—making them the perfect thoughtful gift for the special women in your life. Models like the Garmin Lily 2, Garmin Lily 2 Active, and Garmin Venu 3/3S are designed for everyday comfort and style, while keeping health tracking easy and accessible.

This promotion runs until May 10, 2026. Grab yours today at all Garmin Specialty Stores, via the official Garmin website, through Kinetic, or from Garmin’s official stores on Shopee and Lazada.

Powering Regional Collaboration: Converge Delivers Gigabit Connectivity for Philippines’ ASEAN Hosting

Leading fiber broadband and technology solutions provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. has been designated as the official connectivity partner of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) for the Philippines’ hosting of key Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meetings this year. The company is delivering ultra-fast internet speeds ranging from 1 gigabit to 5 gigabits per second across meeting venues and key locations nationwide.

“We are proud to showcase our world-class connectivity to thousands of foreign delegates, as well as Filipino government and business leaders, gathering across the country for this series of high-level ASEAN events,” said Converge CEO and Co-Founder Dennis Anthony Uy. 

“From arrival hubs to major conference venues, Converge is supporting the ASEAN meetings with reliable gigabit-speed connections. For the highlight of this calendar — the 48th ASEAN Summit taking place this May at the newly opened Mactan Expo Center — we will provide uninterrupted speeds of up to 5 gigabits per second.”

“Hosting the ASEAN Summit is a monumental undertaking that puts the Philippines at the center of regional attention — and seamless connectivity is the backbone of its success,” said DICT Secretary Henry Aguda. “We extend our deepest gratitude to Converge for their unwavering support and world-class service. Their commitment ensured that delegates remained connected at all times, proving once again that through Digital Bayanihan, we can achieve great results and meet the highest international standards.”

To date, Converge has activated services across 11 key sites in Metro Manila and Cebu. Apart from the Mactan Expo Center, the company has deployed high-speed fiber connectivity to premier hosting venues including five-star establishments such as Nustar Integrated Hotel and Casino (Cebu), Diamond Hotel Manila Bay, The Peninsula Manila, and Crimson Resort and Spa Boracay, among others. 

Reliable internet proved even more vital amid current national challenges: due to fuel supply concerns, around 650 preparatory meetings were shifted to virtual setups — made possible by robust digital infrastructure. The 48th ASEAN Summit itself, attended by Heads of State from all 11 member nations, will proceed as a face-to-face gathering.

“Our mission has always been to use technology for the greater good, and part of that means strengthening our fiber network across Visayas and Mindanao,” Uy shared. “As previously announced, we are expanding our infrastructure and rolling out additional service points this year to widen our coverage. This enhanced network capacity allows us to efficiently serve large-scale locations like the Mactan Expo Center and multiple hospitality hubs in Cebu.”

To ensure a seamless digital experience from the moment delegates arrive, Converge has also upgraded internet services at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. All access points across Terminals 1, 2, and 3 now operate with a full 10 Gbps capacity.

This year’s Philippine ASEAN hosting covers a comprehensive range of activities — from committee and working group sessions to ministerial gatherings, culminating in the Leaders’ Summit attended by heads of state across the region.
