10 pesos isn't that much, di ba? What can 10 pesos buy nowadays? But it got me thinking, combine ALL the SM/BDO transactions inside SM MOA for that day. Then combine all the SM/BDO transactions on ALL SM branches.

Then multiply that on the number of days duration of the drive/fund raising.

It could amount to MILLIONS.

And all donated under the name of SM/BDO.

Well, in fact it came from the pockets of their customers.

SM = SIMPLENG MAGNANAKAW.
That's why i don't give donation to SM. Everytime nagbabakasyon ako sa pinas. I've always give donation to the Philippine Red cross.
