In her article for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Marge C. Enriquez highlights the inspiring journey of Antonio "Jaton" Zulueta Jr., who, two decades ago, volunteered to teach street children using unconventional methods, including tombstones inscribed with birth and death dates for number lessons. Facing the challenge of transient students, he later initiated free after-school tutorials in an apartment for underperforming students. In 2009, this initiative grew into the AHA (Angels Here Abound) Learning Center, a nonprofit foundation addressing the crisis of illiteracy and numeracy among Filipino students, particularly from public schools. Jaton Zulueta emphasizes the significance of social and emotional learning, with a focus on self-awareness. Over the years, AHA! has evolved into a nationwide network with four community learning and leadership centers, engaging students, parents, teachers, partner companies, and non-governmental organizations in the cause.
