Your most loved mall, SM Supermalls, in partnership with Generation HOPE and the Department of Education, marked a milestone in its nation-building advocacy and commitment to empowering communities with the groundbreaking of two new public school classrooms at San Isidro National High School in Sta. Ana, Pampanga on March 2, 2026. Representing SM Supermalls at the ceremony was Johannah Melissa Nieva-Rupisan, Vice President and Division Head for Mall Operations of SM Supermalls in North Luzon.

The classrooms are the first to be built under the Build a Classroom project, part of SM’s commitment to support the construction of 10 public school classrooms nationwide through the campaign “HOPE in a Movie at SM.” The initiative, led by Generation HOPE in partnership with the Department of Education, brings together private sector partners to help address classroom shortages and improve learning environments, all for Filipino students.

“Nation-building is at the heart of SM Cares. Through our partnership with Generation HOPE, we strengthen our mission to create impact that lasts for generations,” said Rupisan.

Located within the community served by SM City Pampanga, the project reflects SM Supermalls’ All For You commitment to uplift communities close to its malls and invest in the future of Filipino learners.
