OUR MISSION
“To help in creating safe and prepared communities through practical training and accessible emergency solutions.”
Founder
Chris Bato Santos believes that preparedness is not fear—it’s freedom. As the Founder and President, he leads the movement to make safety and readiness part of everyday life for every Filipino.
A graduate of AIM’s Strategic Disaster Risk Leadership Management Program and trained by the Office of Civil Defense, Chris combines real-world experience in business and leadership with his mission to create safer, more resilient communities.
Through LifeAid and his non-profit Ako’y Handa Pilipinas, he empowers individuals, schools, and organizations to be ready before disaster strikes—because being prepared isn’t just about survival, it’s about protecting what truly matters: our families, our communities, and our future.
