‘Angels Walk for Autism’ draws 250 families      

BUTUAN CITY -- In a historic and heartfelt observance of World Autism Acceptance Month, the SM City Butuan, in partnership with the Autism Society Philippines (ASP), hosted its first-ever ASP #AngelsWalk2025 on April 20.

The event drew an estimated 250 families, marking a significant step forward in the city’s efforts to raise awareness and promote inclusion for individuals on the autism spectrum.

Participants, including persons with autism, their families, advocates, and supporters, filled the mall with a sea of blue as they walked in solidarity under the nationwide campaign #AutiSMoKPH.

The walk aimed to highlight the importance of understanding, acceptance, and support, echoing ASP’s call for a society where neurodiverse individuals are embraced and celebrated.

This milestone event reflects the growing movement toward inclusivity in the region and underscores the institution’s commitment to being a space where everyone—regardless of ability—feels welcome and valued. (CBM, SM City/PIA Caraga)
