Board Members

Reverend Alex L. ORBITO (Philippines)

Chairman Foundation

Reverend Orbito started healing at the age of 14. After treating a paralysed elderly lady, she found herself able to walk again. She returned to inform him of a premonitory dream she had experienced telling him of his healing mission. At a young age, Alex L. Orbito was already a well-known and sought-after healer in the Philippines and abroad both by patients, doctors and scientists.

The actress and bestselling author Shirley Maclaine described her personal healing experiences in the famous book “Going Within”, which made him known internationally. As of today, he has travelled to more than 70 countries around the world, treating everyone who seeks healing of body, mind and soul.

Despite disbelief and scepticism, Rev. Orbito has for nearly five decades, worked patiently and persistently for the awareness of spiritual and holistic healing across the world. Having touched millions of ailing people, he is always quick to disclaim personal praise, saying that he is only an instrument of divine powers.

Time and again, Rev. Alex Orbito willingly cooperates in numerous laboratory tests and research and has been subject to rigid scientific investigations to determine the source and extent of his healing powers. Apart from his work as a healer, he founded the Philippines Healers Circle Association in 1983, of which he was voted President for Life. Additionally, he founded the Spiritual Help Foundation, providing scholarships and financing community centres and schools in the areas of Cuyapo and Pangasinan. In 1999, he inaugurated the Pyramid of Asia where international healing seminars and gatherings are held to meet, learn, exchange and grow. He was conferred with an Honorary Doctorate by the United Nations World Brotherhood Congress in 1985 and awarded the prestigious Filipino Jose Rizal Award in 2000 for his humanitarian work in the Philippines and abroad.

Atty Precioso PERLAS (Philippines)

He earned his Bachelor of Law degree at the Ateneo de Manila College of Law and graduated in 1960 among the top 10 of his class. He was admitted to the Philippine Bar in 1961.

He has also been admitted as a member of the New York State Bar of the United States of America since 1985. One of the major contributions of Attorney Perlas to society is his public service record. He was elected member of the City Council of Quezon City from 1971-1974. During his term in office he was the author of the First Revenue Code of Quezon City which paved the way for financial autonomy independent of local government.

Mrs. Irene Sandoval-Perlas (Philippines)

As a professional, she held several secretarial and management positions in the international banking and airline industries at such companies as American Airlines, CLA Cargo Airlines and Supersonic Services both in the USA and Philippines.

Claes NOREMARK (Sweden)

Board-member & Financial advisor

Claes, born in Sweden, started his career as a photographer and eventually changed his business focus towards fashion design and trading. As such, he developed a successful and international fashion design company which led to extensive travel and brought him to many countries and places around the world. Meeting and working with people of different cultures, races and religions raised his interest in the more human aspect of life and also encouraged him to explore the spiritual relationships between us all with love as the common denominator.

Claes had his first contact with Alex Orbito and his healing work in the eighties which became a turning point in his life. From that moment on, a lasting friendship and support developed for the holistic health and healing ministry of Reverend Orbito and other such humanitarian causes. Claes was also the financial adviser in the construction of the Pyramid of Asia project in the Philippines.
