SM Megamall celebrates Christmas with Hi-5

MANILA, Philippines - SM Megamall recently ushered in Christmas with Hi-5, the Australian children musical group. Everything was merry and bright during the event, which also launched the mall’s colorful centerpiece, the Rainbow Factory.

Hi-5 is a group formed in 1998 that has its own TV show of the same name, aimed at children of all ages and featuring fun, games, music and movement. Since then, the group has won five Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) music awards for Best Children’s Album and received three consecutive Australian Logie Awards (the Australian awards for TV performance and production recognition) for Most Outstanding Children’s Preschool Program in 2000, 2001 and 2004.

Mandaluyong City Councilor Charisse Abalos was among the guests along with Mylene Dizon and her sons Tomas and Lucas; Phoemela Baranda; Brazilian-Japanese model Hideo Muraoka with wife Fatima and daughter Daniela; and Lorin and Venice Gutierrez, daughters of Ruffa Gutierrez.
