The WeCare Foundation was organized in the period following the Edsa Revolution, when civic volunteers were asked to help run local city government as politicians focused on campaigning. The group was led by Antonio Veloso, who served as acting mayor, with Joseph Gaisano as acting vice mayor. Among those who served as acting councilors were Ed Rosello, Hermie Villarica, Bonnie Degamo, Roberto Montesclaros, Lito Roden, Remy Mateo, Nene Dakay, and MCE, with a few names now lost to time.

Today, the foundation is led by its current president, Ramon Sebastian, who continues to support the Sisters of Mary. Antonio Veloso now holds the position of chairman emeritus.

Over the years, WeCare Foundation has been involved in a number of scholarship initiatives in coordination with several Cebu-based institutions, including the University of San Jose–Recoletos, the Sisters of Mary, Cebu Normal University, the University of Southern Philippines, and the University of San Carlos, among others.

The group’s monthly fellowship gatherings, often hosted by birthday celebrants, remain a highlight. These occasions are less about formality and more about nostalgia—moments to look back on how the foundation has remained close-knit, with friendships strengthened through shared memories, music, and goodwill over the years.
