Soldiery entails more than simple sacrifice. Our soldiers live a life of selflessness as they fulfill their commitment to serve and protect our country and our people. The AFP Educational Benefit System Office (AFPEBSO) is an organization which deeply recognizes the heroism in each Filipino soldier. It is one of the morale and welfare outfits of the Armed Forces of the Philippines that grants educational benefits both to the military personnel and their dependents with the aim of helping them secure a brighter future. As it recognizes our soldiers' heroism, especially of those who lay down their lives in protecting peace, AFPEBSO gives priority to the orphans of Filipino soldiers who were killed in action.

     While such a relatively young organization, being established in 2000 (taking the role of then AFP Provident Trust Fund or AFPPTF), the organization has already supported the education of thousands of military dependents. Currently, AFPEBSO assists 6,000 grantees all over the country in various educational levels through its educational benefit programs.

     The AFPEBSO envisions to extend the help to more dependents, thus to continuously provide a better education and a diploma for each soldier's family, it continuously conducts various income generating activities and seeks for help and support from members of the society. Guided and driven by its mission, the organization hopes to somehow give back to our soldiers the recognition that they deserve by assuring the right to education of their dependents.
