Caring for Our Heroes' Children

Excerpts lifted from the Philippine Star, September 01, 2013

The Help Educate and Rear Orphans Foundation, Inc. (HERO) is perhaps one of the least recognized yet unquestionably significant legacies of former President Cory Aquino. Along with retired General Renato De Villa and Don Jaime Zobel de Ayala, with the dedication of its original board of trustees, who all came from the private sector, HERO is a concrete message of support and esteem to the Filipino soldier.

HERO revolves around the philosophy that when a soldier dies, he should be replaced with a fully educated and productive citizen. Each of the scholars is a hero standing as a memorial to his or her father who is the real hero.Another goal of HERO is to boost the soldier's morale. It is one meaningful way of telling the soldiers that their sacrifices are not in vain.

HERO grants educational assistance in the form of stipend, fund-raising activities and vocational courses for the children and dependent siblings of fallen or completely incapacitated soldiers due to enemy action or a s result of their participation in disaster and rescue operations.
