MANILA, Philippines (June 2025) – Overseas Filipino workers and balikbayans returning home will find a special welcome waiting at Greenhills Mall, where a two-month celebration of Filipino heritage and local entrepreneurship offers free gifts and cultural events.
The newly opened GH Mall is rolling out the red carpet for returning Filipinos with its “Heartwarming Balikbayan Homecoming” campaign, running from June 12 to July 31. Shoppers who spend P3,000 at the famous Greenhills tiangge can claim a free local tote bag and fan at the concierge.
The campaign goes beyond simple shopping perks. It celebrates the enduring relationship between overseas Filipinos and the homegrown brands that have made Greenhills a shopping destination for decades.
“This is our way of showing gratitude to balikbayans who continue supporting Filipino entrepreneurs,” according to a press release obtained by our editors. Many local brands launched their businesses in Greenhills before expanding nationwide, making the shopping complex a launching pad for Filipino creativity.
The timing coincides with the Philippines’ 127th Independence Day celebrations. GH Mall’s South Wing Atrium hosts the free “Bantayog ng Sining: National Artists Exhibit” from June 5 to 30, showcasing works by the country’s most celebrated artists.
Independence Day itself features a full schedule of patriotic events. The day begins with a flag-raising ceremony, followed by a marching band performance. At 3 PM, visitors can enjoy traditional kundiman songs and cultural dance performances in the atrium.
Filipino street food vendors will serve local favorites like tusok-tusok, inihaw, and sweet snacks throughout the celebration.
The festivities extend to Estancia Mall’s South Wing Atrium on the same dates, giving shoppers more opportunities to celebrate while exploring local brands and dining options.
For balikbayans planning their homecoming shopping trips, GH Mall offers the perfect blend of nostalgia, national pride, and the Filipino brands they’ve missed while abroad.
