Mareng EMS, which stands for Enterprising Metro Suki, is Metro Retail’s business-focused program for customers such as sari-sari store owners, resellers, and other business operators. The program provides members with access to exclusive offers and discounts, custom rewards, and negosyo tips as they manage and grow their businesses.

“The Mareng EMS Caravan is more than just a gathering. It is a celebration of the hardworking entrepreneurs who share one dream — to grow their businesses, provide better for their families, and build a better future,” said Joselito Orense, President and Chief Operating Officer of MRSGI. “EMS stands for ‘Enterprising Metro Suki,’ but for us, EMS also represents an aspiration: EMS for ‘Every Member Sumakses or Sasakses’. It is more than a name. It is our promise. At Metro, we believe that success should not be enjoyed by only a few. We want every Mareng Ems to succeed.”
