Sunnies has begun its 10-classroom commitment with Generation HOPE by turning over two new classrooms to Muzon Elementary School in Alitagtag, Batangas. The project addresses the classroom shortage affecting millions of students nationwide.
The classrooms, built for Grade 5 students, mark the first milestone in Sunnies’ pledge. HOPE Founder Nanette Medved-Po emphasized the importance of private sector support in education. She said that nation-building requires the involvement of brands trusted by Filipinos.
HOPE Business Development Manager Selena Ortiga highlighted the value of the partnership. She explained that every classroom built is more than just walls, but a space for growth and transformation. Sunnies Co-Founder Bea Soriano-Dee added that the brand is proud to help create learning spaces that empower the next generation.
The 10-classroom investment is part of Sunnies’ long-term commitment to public education. It also reflects their broader goal of becoming a more responsible brand, with initiatives that extend from education support to sustainable product design.
Department of Education Secretary Sonny Angara praised the partnership, noting how collaborations with the private sector can shape the future of students. To date, HOPE has built over 144 classrooms across the Philippines, creating opportunities for children in underserved communities.
