SM at TESDA, tungo sa lalong pagsulong ng edukasyon at trabaho

by Info @Brand Zone | August 30, 2023

Pinagpatibay ng SM Supermalls ang kanilang pangako sa pagbibigay ng learning and upskilling opportunities sa mga Pilipino sa pagdiriwang ng ika-29 na anibersaryo ng Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), na ginanap sa SM Megamall Event Center noong Agosto 22.

Nagplano ang TESDA ng mga aktibidad na nagbibigay-diin sa kahalagahan ng Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sa pagpapalakas ng socio-economic standing ng mga Pilipino, kabilang ang isang seminar tungkol sa labor education para sa mga magtatapos na mag-aaral at skills demonstration sa pagluluto, first aid para sa vehicular accidents, at smart farming.

Ang pagdiriwang ay alinsunod din sa Republic Act No. 7796 na nagdedeklara sa ika-25 ng Agosto bilang "National Technical-Vocational (Tech-Voc) Day," kaya ginanap rin sa event ang job linking, TVET enrollment, at product displays at trade fairs mula sa iba't ibang rehiyon sa buong bansa.

Ang mga proyekto ng SM at TESDA ay nagbibigay ng mga bagong hanapbuhay sa mga Pilipino. Kabilang dito ang pagpapalawak ng Kabalikat sa Kabuhayan (KSK) Program na tumulong sa mga magsasaka, at ang SM Asensong Pinoy Program na nagbigay ng enterprise-based National Certificate (NC) II certification training.

“At SM, we recognize the profound impact of TESDA on our country. Your unwavering dedication has equipped individuals with the tools they need to excel in various fields, and this has helped bring forth a positive influence to different communities across the country,” sabi ni SM Supermalls’ President Steven Tan.

Mga adbokasiyang pangkababaihan: SM at ang PCW para sa 2023 GADtimpala Awards

by Info @Brand Zone | August 26, 2023

Kasama ang Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), nakikiisa ang SM Supermalls sa pagdaraos ng taunang Gender and Development Transformation and Institutionalization through Mainstreaming of Programs, Agenda, Linkages, and Advocacies (GADtimpala) Awards na ginanap kamakailan sa Samsung Hall sa SM Aura.

Pinangunahan nina SM Supermalls’ Senior Vice President para sa Operations Engr. Bien Mateo (ikaapat mula sa kaliwa) at Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) Executive Director Atty. Kristine Chaves (ikaapat mula sa kanan) ang paglagda sa isang memorandum of understanding sa pagitan ng SM Supermalls at PCW para higit pang isulong ang gender equality. Kasama nila sina (mula sa kaliwa): SM Supermalls’ Assistant Vice President (AVP) para sa Customer Relations Services Marjorie Orellano, PCW Deputy Executive Director Khay Ann Borlado, SM Supermalls’ AVP for Corporate Compliance at SM Cares for Women Program Director Atty. Pearl Jayagan Turley, PCW Chief Gender at Development Specialist Anita Baleda, SM Supermalls’ Vice President para sa Corporate Marketing Grace Magno, at PCW Deputy Executive Director Kristine Balmes

Kinikilala ng GADtimpala Awards ang mga ahensya ng gobyerno para sa kanilang pagtataguyod ng mga karapatan ng kababaihan.

Ang SM ay ang pinakamalaking homegrown na kumpanya na pumirma sa United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (UN WEPs). “Since 2021, we have shown our commitment to the gender equality dimensions of the 2030 agenda and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. With the help of SM Cares, our corporate social responsibility arm, we’re able to successfully incorporate women empowerment activities internally and externally throughout our malls,” sabi ni SM Supermalls’ President Steven Tan.

Bilang tagapagtaguyod para sa empowerment ng kababaihan, ang SM, sa pamamagitan ng SM Cares, ang nanguna sa mga programang pangkababaihan tulad ng pagtatayo ng 80 na breastfeeding station sa mga mall, na tuloy-tuloy na tumutulong sa higit na 1 milyong mga ina.

Ang mga programang ito ay may layon ng pagtataguyod ng kanilang kapakanan tulad ng “Hakab Na!'” at “Free to Feed” na ginaganap tuwing Agosto bilang pagdiriwang ng Breastfeeding Awareness Month, ang Pink Ribbon Day na ginaganap tuwing Oktubre bilang pagdiriwang ng Breast Cancer Awareness Month, ang paglikha ng Philippine chapter ng Women's International Network for Disaster Risk Reduction (WIN DRR), at ang sponsorship ng WIN DRR Leadership Awards para sa Asia-Pacific kasama ang United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UN DRR).

“SM is a community of and for women. It is no wonder that every day, in everything we do, we strive to do right by women,” sabi ni Ginoong Tan.
