What an in Incredible honor! Thank you to Editor Don Lejano, writers MJ Salcedo and Eunice Barbara C. Novio. 💛

MANILA, Philippines —Walk into many public schools across the Philippines, and you’ll often find a learning center with names you don’t recognize. These are not the names of politicians

Early last year, my good friend Seán Saba learned that I was raising funds for our 25th project and he playfully messaged me "Asking for a friend, how does one get to name a library after them?" hahaha. I knew immediately he was thinking of doing this for his parents.

Sean and his husband Bill wanted to do it and they got the entire Saba family involved. A year later, we have the Nora and Purito Library.

I also want to thank my own friends for supporting 101 Heroes! This is what you helped build! Because of you, this project will help the kids of San Miguel National High School's over 10,000 students.

Thanks a million for supporting 101Heroes.org -- this would not have been possible without you! ❤️❤️❤️

Several private schools in Los Angeles have graciously supported my nonprofit organization, 101 Heroes, by donating books from their libraries. I carefully sort through these donations in my garage before shipping them to the Philippines.

Several private schools in Los Angeles have graciously supported my nonprofit organization, 101 Heroes, by donating books from their libraries. I carefully sort through these donations in my garage before shipping them to the Philippines. This generous support not only allows us to save a significant amount of money but also ensures that these books receive a second life, enriching the lives of individuals 7,500 miles away on the other side of the world.

101 Heroes started the 101 Heroes COVID19 Health Campaign two weeks ago to provide much needed food supplies to kids and their families. Thanks to the many donors, we have been able to give out milk to over 500 kids and buy food for 200 families.

If you would like to be a part of this initiative, go to 101Heroes.org

101 Heroes created a program called COVID19: Children's Health Campaign. Our goal is to help feed children in the communities of our learning center. Right now, kids do not have access to milk because their parents can't afford them. If you would like to contribute to our cause, visit: 101Heroes.org to donate.

This is one of the most emotional experiences I’ve had with students.

I was visiting the Poncher Library and I saw this kid excitedly running around. The librarian saw me observing him and she told me “His name is Hilario, he comes here every single day to read a book. He is a such good kid, but we believe he is autistic.”
I continued to observe him, then decided to follow him.

The more I learn about him, the more emotional I got.

I always talk about the impact of 101 Heroes to many people- and Hilario is one of the many beautiful stories of the impact we create. Thanks to the many people who help make this happen.
