The HEROES Newsletter is the official publication of the Helping Every Retiree Obtain Enhanced Services (HEROES) Program, proudly produced by the AFP Pension and Gratuity Management Center (AFPPGMC) and managed by its Strategic Communication Team under the leadership of the Office of the Chief, AFPPGMC.
More than just a newsletter, it is a rally point, a place where stories, milestones, and images converge to honor the courage of our retirees while revealing the innovations that are transforming the AFP pension management system.
Its mission is clear: to give voice to our military retirees, strengthen bonds between AFPPGMC and its pensioners, and uphold our core values of service, integrity, and compassion. Every page reflects our vision of a community where every retired soldier remains connected, informed, and honored, carrying forward a proud tradition of service into a future built on care, innovation, and public trust.
At the heart of this transformation stands the HEROES Program, the flagship initiative of AFPPGMC, spearheaded by Commodore Luidegar C Casis PN, Chief, AFPPGMC. Guided by the principle of โService Beyond Retirement,โ it bridges long-standing gaps in pension service delivery especially in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas: ensuring that no pensioner is ever left behind.
A product of strong collaboration between AFPPGMC, partner government agencies, and AFP-accredited financial institutions, the HEROES Program embodies a unified, forward-looking approach to serving the diverse needs of the AFP pensioner community. Built to be adaptive and responsive, it evolves with the demands of the modern era, blending the best of tradition with the promise of innovation, empowering our nationโs heroes every step of the way.
