Ang Araw sa Likod Mo

Hundreds of Filipino soldiers are killed or incapacitated in the line of duty, fighting for our nation, our freedom, and our children. Each fallen soldier leaves an average of three school-aged children orphaned. Sadly, their education is sacrificed in favor of food and shelter as the remaining family members try to cope with the loss of their breadwinner. Every year, close to 1,000 orphans of our soldiers need our help.


Since 1988, HERO (Help Educate and Rear Orphans) Foundation, Inc. has been providing educational assistance that is adequate to help and encourage them to attain a college degree or complete a vocational course. This gives them a better chance at finding a rewarding job, making them productive members of the society.


Leohmar Padaon, an engineer, was a HERO Scholar from 2004-2009. According to Engr. Padaon, “Indeed, HERO turns every youth’s dream into reality. I am a living testimony to how generous and helpful HERO Foundation is. Undeniably, I will never be the person I am today without your unconditional care and assistance.”

HERO urgently needs your support to sustain its current scholars and accommodate hundreds of new applicants every year.

One way to help is by watching the multi-awarded advocacy film, “Ang Araw Sa Likod Mo” (The Sun Behind You) starring Bong Cabrera, Mike Liwag, and Ping Medina. Showing in cinemas nationwide this May 24, 2017. The movie tackles the heroism of our Filipino soldiers in the thick of a four-decade-old war against terrorism. Most of the proceeds of the movie will be donated to HERO Foundation, Inc.

HERO Foundation, Inc. was organized by the late President Corazon C. Aquino in collaboration with Gen. Renato De Villa, Don Jaime Zobel de Ayala and other distinguished group of businessmen.
