In a strong show of community spirit and commitment to education, SM malls in Batangas actively participated in the 2025 Brigada Eskwela of Department of Education. Employee volunteers from SM City Batangas, SM City Lipa, SM Center Lemery, and SM City Sto. Tomas joined forces to prepare local schools for the upcoming opening of classes through cleaning, repainting, and repair activities.

Similarly, SM City Lipa employees contributed their time and effort at Abundio Torre Memorial Elementary School in Lipa City by revitalizing classrooms through thorough cleaning and repainting.
