The foundation was created and registered with the Security Exchange Commission to formally organize a working group that would unite all Veloso with Phillipine origin, sharing ideas, some wealth, skills and knowledge to help clan members in need, not only materially, but spiritually.

The National Veloso Reunions of 1983 & 2005 and with the Veloso genealogy book, painstakingly compiled by our very own historian Cirilo Veloso, had increasingly united Velosos' from all over the country and even reached the awareness of some of the Velosos' all over the world.
