The organization was organized by Wilfredo Gevero Jr., the Organization was a prophetic vision from the divine providence when he was 12 years old, way back November 14, 1996. The organizer thought that it was impossible to organize the organization since he is young and not capable to stand in his own. At his high school, Mr. Gevero has shown servanthood potentials by being active in community services. He was trained primary on how to be a servant leader and to be part of the community. Community involvements and proper training/orientation equipped the founder’s skills.

It continues until he reaches in college, he was a President of Liceo de Cagayan University under the College of Information Technology (SBO) and later became the Secretary General of Communications at the Supreme Student Council.
