The heart and mission of Kultura is to instill more pride in our identity, embracing our traditions and keeping them relevant to everyday living. We also champion and support communities, local talent, artistry and craftsmanship.
Heritage and Living Traditions
We promote products that are made through individual tradition weaving techniques using indigenous materials in modern, functional designs for daily use.
T'nalakThe tradition of T’nalak designs, considered a sacred fabric woven by the T’boli people in the communities around Lake Sebu, Mindanao, have been passed down through generations, coming to the best weavers in dreams brought to them by their ancestors. T’nalak is used for clothing, wedding dowries, and gifts for special occasions.
Piña Silk WeavingProduced primarily in the Aklan region, the scraping and weaving process for piña is laborious and intensive with each step done mostly by hand.
YakanKnown for their remarkable technicolor geometric weaves, the Yakan people in Mindanao embody a non-materialistic culture and live in close-knit communities. Through the years, their traditional textile designs have been enhanced with vivid colored cottons.

Disaster Risk Reduction Makes Good Business Sense
Investing in disaster risk reduction and resilience has become an indispensable component of our strategic objectives. It is an investment that not only translates to immeasurable business returns but also safeguards the lives and interests of our stakeholders. In SM, we have a three-pronged approach to disaster resilience:
We integrate disaster risk reduction into our infrastructure design.
SM City Marikina
Built on246stilts, situated 20 meters farther than the standard regulations for buildings or 90 meters away from the Marikina River centerline
SM Mall of Asia
Built 4.5 meters above the mean lower water level
SM Center Muntinlupa
built on a suspended two-way slab system placed further outside the recommended distance from the fissure line in the event of seismic activity
We help develop the resilience of our stakeholders during times of calamities.
We launched disaster preparedness programs like the Green Retail Agenda as capacity building programs for our tenants and suppliers.
We also encourage recycling among our customers through programs like Trash to Cash.
During calamities, we open our malls and parking areas to serve as safe haven to those affected.
We help address extreme poverty. The poorest communities remain the most vulnerable groups during times of natural disasters. We recognize that giving them access to basic social services and safety nets helps them have a more resilient foundation.

Tested through Time
The Ong Family of Pacific Paint (Boysen) Philippines had a relationship with China Bank since the 50s. In 1963, Vicente Ong Sue got a licensing agreement with Boysen. Today, Pacific Paint controls over 90% of the local premium paint market. Their initial challenge was to make the brand stand out, followed by the challenge of distribution as it required capital. Vicente’s son, Willy Ong narrates, “We would not be here today without the help of China Bank. I will always remember the support China Bank extended to us, especially during the big crisis in the 80s.”
– Willy Ong
Building the Future
Founded in 1950, DMCI is one of the biggest construction companies in the country today. Through the years, China Bank has come to the aid of DMCI in critical times. First was in 1984 when the Insular Bank of Asia and America was being sold by its owners and its debtors were being required to pay their loans. DMCI, which owed the bank several million pesos, was forced to look for another bank that would loan them the amount. David Consunji, the owner, approached China Bank with whom it had not dealt with before and received a loan. Second was in 1997 when DMCI Holdings bought Semirara Mining Corporation. “We really needed money to get going. China Bank’s officers firmly believed in our capacity to pay our obligations, probably because we had a good track record with them,” David says. The relationship between China Bank and DMCI flourishes to this day; it has now passed on from David to his sons.
