ZAMBOANGA
CITY, Philippines, 05 June 2026 –
Demonstrating its commitment to education and community development, SM City
Mindpro and SM City Zamboanga joined Brigada Eskwela 2026 through a meaningful
outreach activity at Mangga Elementary School in Bolong, bringing
employee-volunteers and security personnel together to help prepare the school
for the opening of classes.
With
sleeves rolled up and hearts dedicated to service, volunteers from both SM
malls worked side by side with teachers and school personnel, embodying the
true spirit of bayanihan. The volunteers participated in various school
improvement activities, helping create a cleaner, safer, and more conducive
learning environment for students.
As
part of the initiative, SM Zamboanga malls also turned over essential school
materials, including books, paints, electric fans, and cleaning supplies, to
support the school's preparations for the upcoming academic year. The activity
reflects SM's continued commitment to empowering communities and supporting
quality education through volunteerism and meaningful partnerships.
“Education
is a powerful tool for building stronger communities. Through this activity, we
are given the opportunity to contribute in our own way by helping create a
better learning environment for our students,”
said Jodie Durens, SM City Zamboanga Assistant Mall Manager.
More
than the physical improvements made during the activity, this initiative serves
as a reminder of the collective responsibility shared by stakeholders in
nurturing the next generation. Through volunteerism and collaboration, SM City
Mindpro and SM City Zamboanga continue to champion initiatives that create
positive and lasting impacts in the communities it serves and remain steadfast
in supporting programs that uplift education, strengthen communities, and
inspire the spirit of service among its employees and partners.
