Continuing its commitment to helping elevate the country's education system, SMFoundation, 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 buildinwill be donateto 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.
