Naga City

The partnership between SM Foundation (SMFI) and UNIQLO with its parent company Fast Retailing Co., in the promotion of health and wellness was strengthened...

In 1982, Dr. William P. Magee, Jr., an American plastic surgeon, and his wife Kathleen, a nurse and clinical social worker, traveled to Naga City with a group of medical volunteers to repair children’s cleft lips and cleft palates. At that time, the team only managed to treat 40 children. As they prepared to leave, the Magees made a promise that they would return to help more children. With that promise, Operation Smile Philippines was born.

Through hard work and determination, SM Foundation (SMFI) scholar Miel Carlo Reganit emerged as the class valedictorian and cum laude of BS in Civil Engineering Batch of 2020 at the University of Nueva Caceres (UNC) in Naga City.
