SM Supermalls joins Brigada Eskwela 2026 to help create cleaner, safer, and more welcoming learning spaces
Through SM Cares, SM Supermalls supported the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela 2026 as part of its continuing commitment to youth empowerment, nation-building, and community service. In time for the start of classes, participating SM teams from its most-loved malls nationwide worked hand in hand with partner schools to help create learning environments that are cleaner, safer, and more inspiring for students and teachers.
Guided by this year’s theme, “Bayanihan sa Paaralan: Nagkakaisa para sa Kaayusan at Kaalaman,” SM employee-volunteers, together with school communities, local partners, teachers, parents, and volunteers, came together to help prepare public schools for the opening of classes.
The volunteer activities included general cleaning of classrooms, corridors, and school grounds; repainting and repair of walls, furniture, and school facilities; minor repairs and carpentry work on doors, windows, desks, and chairs; landscaping and school garden care; school supply donations; and other community support efforts.
Driven by the simple but meaningful act of showing up for the children and communities it serves, SM’s involvement in this year’s Brigada Eskwela focused on the collective effort of Bayanihan to prepare spaces that not only encourage but empower learning for the next generation.
“Our mall communities are woven into the neighborhoods around us. That is why supporting our schools is also part of our responsibility,” said [Name], [Title], SM Supermalls. “When a child walks into a classroom that is clean, safe, and ready, it tells them that their community believes in them. Every broom sweep, every coat of paint, and every act of service matters.”
As students return to school, SM Supermalls hopes that each classroom touched by
Brigada Eskwela becomes more than a place for lessons. It becomes a place where children feel seen, supported, and encouraged to dream.
