MORE than 2,000 children in ravishing costumes enjoyed a grand Halloween time and joined in the exciting Monsters Masquerade Monster Ball held at all SM Supermalls on Friday.
A total of 2,211 kids trooped to SM City Pampanga and SM City Clark and participated in the whole day fun, which included the Halloween Costume Contest and the mall-wide Trick or Treat activities. Kids certainly enjoyed choosing their part -- dressing up as fairies, pirates, superheroes and scary creatures while taking home goodies and winning exciting prizes!

Chey Chloe Caluag, Julia Feona Nicole Ayson, Gabrielle Ocampo, and Mc Claine Guevarra (Most Enchanting); and Cyrus Lejan Dizon, John Lowey Santos, John Anthony Dela Rosa and Daisy Barnardo (Scariest).
Each of the grand winners and runners-up took home P5,000 and P1,000 worth of SM gift cards respectively plus special gift certificates from participating mall tenants.
A Halloween Costume Parade at SM Department Stores where two winners each took home P10,000 worth of SM gift cards was also held as part of the Halloween celebration.
