Continuing its commitment to
helping elevate the country's education system, SM Foundation, Inc. (SMFI), in
partnership with SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SMPHI) and the Department of
Education (DepEd), have recently collaborated to construct two new school
buildings in Laguna and Batangas.
Upon the completion of the joint
initiative, two two-story four-classroom school buildings will be donated to
the Laguna Resettlement Community School in San Pedro City, Laguna and the San
Antonio Elementary School in Sto. Tomas City, Batangas.
Each of the school buildings is set
to be equipped with learning materials, armchairs, handwashing facilities,
emergency equipment, and PWD-friendly facilities to ensure that students,
especially from low-income communities, gain access to modern, safe, and
conducive learning facilities.
Formalizing the partnership, representatives
from the SMFI, DepEd, and the local government units of said provinces attended
the memorandum of agreement signing last April 28, 2023, at the National
Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP) in Malvar, Batangas.
SM Foundation, through its School
Building Program, is an active partner of DepEd in various educational
programs. This social good initiative aims to promote quality public education
by building classrooms nationwide. To date, it has turned over more than 100
school buildings to grassroots communities.
