These include bank notes that have been stapled or have been ripped which resulted from staple wire’s removal.

“Only those that are mutilated - stapled and ripped caused by removal of staple wire - will be deemed unfit and not accepted,” the statement further read.

The retail giant also assured the public that it has already considered the guidelines set forth by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

“Our policy has considered the guidelines set by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas,” SM stated.

Aside from the issue with the bills, one of the things that has also gotten the name of SM Malls on a number of social media pages was when the MOA globe "disappeared."

Celebrities like Angel Locsin, Alessandra De Rossi and K Brosas previously posted about the Mall of Asia globe. The iconic globe became the talk of the town due to allegations that it was stolen. MOA even released a public notice stating that the mall is working with the authorities.

In another instance, the death of the daughter of SM Prime Holding chairman Henry Sy, Jr. has also gone viral. The eulogy given by the chairman touched many hearts.
