SM BULACAN MALLS IMPLEMENT SAFETY DINE-IN MEASURES

Restaurants and other food merchants at SM Malls in Marilao, San Jose Del Monte, Baliwag and Pulilan have partially resume dine-in services following the directives given by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).

All food establishments in the mall including SM Food Court are mandated to strictly follow safety and standard health protocols as 30% of the restaurant’s capacity will be allowed for dine-in operations.
