Due to financial constraints and lack of internet connectivity, many HERO Foundation scholars are still struggling to adjust to the new educational set-up. As the whole nation celebrates Araw ng Kagitingan, Globe, through its partnership with HERO Foundation, gives attention to the school-age children of fallen soldiers by providing them with internet connectivity so they can continue their studies through distance learning. To support the scholars, Globe is giving 260 scholars a Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi modem and a load subsidy of P1,000.
“During this time, we do not only remember the bravery of our soldiers who gave their lives for the country. We would also like to express our gratitude for their valor and sacrifice by helping their children get the education they deserve through connectivity and technology support,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP for Corporate Communications.

HERO Foundation stands for Help Educate and Rear Orphans and is a non-stock, non-profit organization created in 1988 by several distinguished business leaders among them, Don Jaime Zobel de Ayala.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines – Educational Benefit System Office relies on the foundation for financial support to keep the military orphans in school by covering tuition payments, school supplies, transportation, meals, and other educational essentials.
