SM Foundation launches its Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan (KSK) on Sustainable Agriculture in Zamboanga City

SM Foundation Inc., the corporate social responsibility arm of SM Group of Companies, continues its commitment to sustainable development and community empowerment with the launch of its “Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan” program on sustainable agriculture in Zamboanga City.

The program, which aims to uplift the lives of farmers and promote sustainable farming practices, was officially launched in a ceremony held at SM Cinema Mindpro today, March 1.

100 farmers from barangay Culianan, Cabaluay, Salaan, and Lanzones were the recipients for this year’s KSK program. Present at the event were SM Foundation Assistant Vice President for Livelihood and Outreach Programs Cristie Angeles, representatives from partner government agencies which include Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and the City Agriculture’s Office of the local government unit of Zamboanga.

“Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan” seeks to address the challenges faced by farmers in Zamboanga City by providing them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to improve their agricultural practices and increase their productivity. Through a series of training sessions, workshops, and technical assistance, farmers will learn about sustainable farming techniques, crop management, pest control, and market linkages from SM Foundation and partner government agencies.

“We believe that agriculture plays a crucial role in the economic development of our communities,” said Aileen Ann Villa-Enriquez, SM City Mindpro Mall Manager. “By empowering our farmers and promoting sustainable agricultural practices, we can help improve their livelihoods, ensure food security, and contribute to the overall well-being of the community.”

In addition to training and capacity-building activities, the program will also provide farmers with access to quality seeds, fertilizers, and other agricultural inputs to support their farming operations. Furthermore, SM Foundation will work closely with local government unit and other stakeholders to create market opportunities for farmers and facilitate their participation in value chains.

The launch of "Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan" in Zamboanga City marks the beginning of a new chapter in SM Foundation's efforts to promote sustainable agriculture and empower farming communities across the Philippines. Through collaborative partnerships and innovative solutions, the foundation remains committed to building a brighter and more sustainable future for all.

Present at the ceremony were DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista, SM Prime Holdings President Jeffrey C.  Lim, (center & 3rd from R), (L-R) DOTr Asec James Melad, Metro Manila Development Authority Chairman Romando Artes, SM Supermalls President Steven T. Tan, Management Association of the Philippines and Busway Advocate Eddie Yap and DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo.

The event marked the beginning of a transformative journey towards safer, more comfortable, and more convenient commutes along the country's main thoroughfare.

“SM fully support initiatives that seek to promote sustainable and equitable reforms to uplift communities where our malls are located. With this concourse at SM North EDSA, SM hopes to be able to contribute to a more enjoyable, safe, and convenient commute for Filipinos who face the challenges of traversing the busy EDSA artery to work, study or go about their daily tasks.” said Jeffrey Lim, President of SM Prime Holdings Inc.,  during his speech.

The EDSA Busway initiative is a joint program started by the DOTr, supported by DPWH, and MMDA. The concourses will allow faster travel time for commuters, providing a comfortable commute for the Filipinos and improve mobility for pedestrians along EDSA.

Located strategically at SM North EDSA, SM Megamall, and SM Mall of Asia, the three concourses and access bridges will complement the DOTr's innovative EDSA Busway initiative. Designed to provide safe and convenient access to the Edsa Busway Stations, these concourses will feature state-of-the-art design and facilities, including concierge services, ticketing booths, and turnstiles for the Automatic Fare Collection System.

Moreover, ramps and elevators will ensure easy access for commuters of all ages and abilities, including persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and pregnant women. This dedication to inclusivity reflects the shared vision of SM and the DOTr to create transportation infrastructure that serves the needs of every Filipino.

The construction of the EDSA Busway concourses in SM malls is set to be completed on in the coming years, and commuters can look forward to a future where traveling along EDSA is not only efficient but also enjoyable.
