'RESILIENCE is not just a word, it is a way of life. It is a commitment to ensure that we have the responsibilities to others and that no one is left behind,' said Hans Sy, chairman of the SM Prime Holdings Inc. (SMPHI) Executive Committee, of Arise Philippines and of the National Resilience Council (NRC).

In celebration of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) last Oct. 13, 2023, Sy underscored the collective action and commitment of the private and public sectors toward achieving a sustainable and resilient nation during the 10th Top Leaders Forum, held at the SMX Convention Center in Manila.
