The VIYLine MSME Caravan is set to bring its trademark mix of proudly Filipino products, influencer star power, and local entrepreneurial spirit to SM City Pampanga this October 8–14.
In partnership with SM Supermalls, the VIYLine Group of Companies continues to champion micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by giving them high-visibility platforms in top malls across Luzon. Each caravan stop has drawn enthusiastic crowds, proving that shopping local is not just a trend—it’s a movement.
VIYLine executives and influencers including Chino Liu, Pau Sepagan, Rolando Cortez, and Ivy Cortez-Ragos joined by SM officers officially opened the VIYLine MSME Caravan at SM City Masinag.

From its earlier legs in SM City Dasmariñas, Bacoor, San Pablo, Santa Rosa, Calamba, Fairview, Cabanatuan, Muntinlupa, and Masinag, the VIYLine MSME Caravan has become a vibrant marketplace and entertainment hub. Highlights have included ribbon-cuttings led by entrepreneurs and influencers, energetic performances by the dance group Mastermind, and fan-favorite meet-and-greets with influencer-entrepreneurs such as Pau Sepagan, Toni Fowler, and Tita Krissy Achino.
At SM Pampanga, mallgoers can expect an equally dynamic experience—a curated selection of local MSME merchants, showcasing everything from beauty and wellness essentials to fashion, food, and lifestyle finds. Fans can also look forward to special appearances from influencers, interactive booths, and crowd-drawing entertainment segments.
“SM is proud to partner with VIYLine in providing meaningful spaces where MSMEs can thrive, gain exposure, and connect directly with customers,” said Joaquin San Agustin, Executive Vice President of Marketing at SM Supermalls.  “The caravan has shown the incredible creativity and resilience of our local entrepreneurs, and we’re excited to bring this energy to Pampanga.”
Catch the VIYLine MSME Caravan at the Upper Ground Level of SM City Pampanga from October 8 to 14.
Support local. Shop with purpose. Celebrate Filipino MSMEs—only at SM.
