Xiaomi Philippines, in continued partnership with World Vision, is proud to announce its participation in Brigada Eskwela 2025 at a public school in Malabon.
Brigada Eskwela is the Department of Education’s yearly nationwide drive to conduct maintenance and repairs to public schools across the Philippines before the start of the academic year. Xiaomi Philippines has been a partner of the initiative since 2024, and the brand’s participation in Brigada Eskwela goes beyond traditional bayanihan as it aims to transform a classroom into a “Xiaomi-Powered Room” equipped with state-of-the-art smart devices to foster an enhanced learning environment for students.

The donated items include Xiaomi smart TVs, smart fans, air purifiers, smart cameras, wi-fi mesh systems, a smart projector, and a smart vacuum cleaner.

“It always needs a village to educate a child–the school alone cannot do that. We are so grateful to have partners from World Vision and Xiaomi. This help and assistance will be very beneficial for our teachers and students,” said Nenita Rivera, school head.

At Xiaomi, we are committed to making our technology accessible to everyone, and we’re honored to play a part in making better learning environments. Efforts like this are a step toward helping Filipino students dream bigger, reach further, and build brighter futures for themselves and their families,” said Tomi Adrias, head of marketing at Xiaomi Philippines.
“I would like to express our deepest gratitude to Xiaomi for bridging the gap, as we have great challenges in education. We cannot do it alone, which is why this type of partnership will really help our students improve their learning experiences,” said Alma Acub, World Vision program manager.
Xiaomi’s continued participation in the Brigada Eskwela project every year exemplifies the brand’s dedication to corporate social responsibility, fostering community engagement, and leveraging technology to empower the next generation of Filipino students.
