About Us

He was young and unlettered, but hardworking and tenacious, wanting to build a better life than what he had left behind.

Our parents had an early marriage, and they bore seven children. Our father (Tata) came to the United States in May 1966 upon the petition of our grandfather, when the oldest child was sixteen, and the youngest, six months old.Tata was not able to finish college while our Mom had to raise seven of us, work part time and study at the same time. She finished her degree in Education as cum laude, nonetheless.

When our family, relatives and friends bid Tata goodbye at the Manila International Airport in May 1966, little did we know that we would not see him again…until more than 20 years later. Not once did Tata come home for a vacation, for he would rather send the money to provide for us – and they provided us well, sending us to the best private schools and universities to get the best education. He first worked at our grandfather’s turkey ranch in Palmdale, then at Hoag Hospital with a record of perfect attendance for 25 straight years.

Living in the Philippines, the family knew how it was to be denied of basic services and privileges, so it was almost a solemn vow, that whatever we would become, we would not deny our services to anyone who needed help and comfort, to the extent that the family would be able to provide.

We were inspired to do our best, to exceed even, and have the zeal and determination to get ahead with the field we have chosen and pursued. It was no accident, that we became a family of medical workers in our country, the Philippines. There was a noble purpose behind three of us becoming doctors, one a dentist/respiratory therapist, a nurse, a physical therapist, and our youngest a psychology graduate and now a Norbertine nun. Unbeknown to us then was the vision and ambition of our mother to link us together into our profession, so that we can work for the common good of our community. She envisaged to raise up a medical facility or hospital, where we could team up together and make a difference in the lives of our countrymen. She was thinking of sacrifices and love for our fellowmen; not wealth, but service to those who need it. However, such magnanimous visions do not always materialize as they are. God had other plans for us, so we did not end up with our mother’s dream in our country. Nevertheless, the idea did not fade away; it was not forgotten but was nurtured, nonetheless.

So one day, we got together and decided to make the most of our resources, pooled our heads and mapped out a way of establishing a home health agency, which was closest to the nature of what was first envisioned, where we can still render service to people needing help, and where our family can still work together as a team.

On November 6, 2002, Heralds Home Health was formed as a corporation and was consecrated and launched inauspiciously in Torrance, California on December 8^th, 2002.
