SM Development Corporation (SMDC) once again proves that building communities goes beyond constructing homes—it means empowering lives through education. Under its “Live Good, Do Good” sustainability program, SMDC’s ‘Balik-Eskwela with the Good Guys’ initiative reinforces the company’s commitment to the Empowering Communities pillar by helping young learners gain access to the tools they need to begin the school year with confidence.

In a recent leg of the program  held at Cutcut Elementary School in Angeles, Pampanga, Kindergarten and Grade 1 learners received school bags with basic learning supplies—thoughtful support aimed at easing back-to-school preparations and encouraging a love for learning early on.

The activity was led by Grace Evangeline M. Sta. Ana, SMDC Executive Vice President and Head of Core Operations, together with  employee volunteers (proudly known as The Good Guys) from SMDC Nature  segment. Their hands-on involvement served as a reflection of the company’s culture of compassion and shared purpose.
These volunteers are part of the Good Guys Volunteer Movement—SMDC’s community engagement initiative that empowers residents and employees to give back through acts of service and compassion. Whether through donation drives, clean-ups, or outreach activities like this one, the movement reinforces SMDC’s belief that building communities goes hand in hand with caring for people.
