Tale of the Winter Forest in SM Southmall

This Christmas, witness the magical tale of the joy of giving as SM Southmall, premier mall of the South metro, presents The Tale of the Winter Forest.

The launch features the unveiling of the mall's first Christmas centerpieces with a play production by Stages and a full performance of the Manila String Machine presenting The Tale of the Winter Forest.

It is a story of two children getting lost in an enchanted forest, where the only way to find the right path is to give up everything. In the forest, they meet a wounded rabbit, a lost cardinal, and a hungry tiger. The children helped the animals, giving up their clothing and food for them, after which the Winter Fairy appears and shows them the path home.

SM Southmall wanted to kick-off this amazing season by sending out an inspiring message of selflessness and kindness that is characteristic of the Christmas season. The story aims to set a good example for children while still giving them an enjoyable visual treat.

In the spirit of the season, SM Southmall invited the children from SOS Children's Villages and Child Haus and gave them special gifts that they may enjoy.

!T GIRLS, which critics are calling Sex and the City meets Keeping up with the Kardashians, follows four celebrity BFFs who are at the top of their game: Georgina Wilson (former Asia’s Next Top Model host), Solenn Heussaff (French-Filipina actress/artiste), Isabelle Daza  (daughter of Miss Universe 1969) and Liz Uy (celebrity stylist). For the first time, the fabulous four give fans an all-access look at their lives in the exclusive upper echelons of the Philippines’ sensational showbiz scene.

“Between them, the !T GIRLS have an outstanding 17 million social media followers. With this series, those fans will get to see what they are really like outside of their glamorous celebrity personas. This is a unique experience that only a pop culture powerhouse like E! can bring,” said Scott Mackenzie, Vice President, Channels, Asia, NBCUniversal International Networks and the series’ executive producer, “With the ratings success of It Takes GUTZ To Be A Gutierrez in markets like Singapore and Malaysia, we are confident that !T GIRLS will also fascinate viewers across the region.”

Georgina’s baby gender reveal, Solenn’s Snapchat scandal, Isabelle’s A-list wedding and Liz’s search for love are just some of the series’ sizzling stories. The !T GIRLS’ hunky husbands – Arthur Burnand, Nico Bolzico and Adrien Semblat; Isabelle’s mother Gloria Diaz (veteran actress and former beauty queen) and Solenn’s brother Erwan Heussaff (TV personality and food entrepreneur) will also be part of the series.
