Active Mission: Devastating Earthquake Strikes Cebu, Philippines

On September 30, 2025, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck northern Cebu, causing severe destruction and immense human suffering.

Key Facts (as of latest reports):

•⁠  ⁠72 confirmed deaths and 294 injured

•⁠  ⁠170,000 people affected, many displaced or facing major loss

•⁠  ⁠600 homes and 87 buildings damaged or destroyed

This is the deadliest earthquake in the Philippines in more than a decade. 

In partnership with Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) and with local and national government support already secured, Aerial Recovery’s Special Operations Advanced Reconnaissance Team (SOAR) along with heroes from our heal the heroes program will deploy to Cebu to deliver life-saving assistance.

•⁠  ⁠Providing medical aid, mapping, and support in coordination with local authorities

Press Features

Follow Our Missions

Our team is made up of heroes from our Heal the Heroes initiative. This program repurposes struggling veterans and first responders through a year-long healing program. Once completed, they have the opportunity to train to become Humanitarian Special Operators. These Humanitarian Special Operators conduct high-risk missions in anti-human trafficking and disaster response.

Our team is highly effective and has rescued over 8,000 people in the last 36 months. We love showing the world what these men and women are capable of. We are grateful to provide life-saving service opportunities to those who live to serve!
