There’s a quiet power that mothers carry—the ability to sense, understand, and respond beyond words. This May 8–10, that invisible strength takes center stage as Expo Mom Manila returns to the Shangri-La Plaza Mall Atrium with its 2026 theme: “Always in Tune.”
First launched in 2008, Expo Mom has grown into a beloved gathering for Filipino moms—one that goes beyond a typical expo or shopping event and into a meaningful, shared experience where learning, connection, and fun are intertwined. This year, it embraces a powerful truth: because moms hear more than what’s said.
“Always in Tune” celebrates the many stages of a mother’s journey, honoring how women continuously adapt to their families’ needs while also rediscovering themselves along the way. From the early days of motherhood to evolving identities beyond it, Expo Mom creates space for reflection, expression, and joy.
At its core, Expo Mom is anchored in Mommy Mundo’s purpose: to create opportunities for moms to connect, learn from one another and from experts, support mom-founded businesses, and prioritize their wellbeing. This year’s edition brings that mission to life through experiences that are as meaningful as they are uplifting.
What to Expect at Expo Mom Manila 2026:
Creative & Reflective Spaces: Free activities like junk journaling and “paint your portrait on the ground,” inviting moms to pause, express, and reconnect with themselves.
Talks & Onstage Entertainment: Inspiring conversations and performances that reflect the realities and aspirations of modern motherhood.
Daytime Disco for Moms: A joyful, high-energy moment designed to remind moms to move, celebrate, and have fun. Sunday features a special performance by the G-Force Dance Studio.
Fashion Show: A vibrant celebration of confidence, individuality, and style at every stage of motherhood, featuring mom influencers and their kids in fashion.
MamaMarket: A curated marketplace spotlighting mompreneur-founded brands and family-focused products.
Community Connection: A warm, welcoming environment where moms can meet, share stories, and support one another.
“Expo Mom has always been about creating a space where moms feel seen, heard, and supported,” says Monica Javier, Head of Community Engagement and Activations. Janice Villanueva, founder of Mommy Mundo, adds, “We are so happy that Shangri-La Mall is again our partner in delivering this meaningful message of Mother’s Day. With ‘Always in Tune,’ we’re shining a light on that inner voice moms carry and giving them moments to reconnect not just with their families, but with themselves and each other.”
As Expo Mom continues, its initiatives evolve just as moms do. It aims to remain a top-of-mind resource for connection, empowerment, and community-building among Filipino moms—blending lifestyle, learning, and meaningful experiences into one unforgettable event.
