Looking for Juan

Art and purpose with every purchase 📖🩷 Looking for Juan is an online store that reimagines the way we shop by shaping a world where every purchase gives back.

Working closely with Filipino artists, the store celebrates Philippine culture, art, and literature by offering socially relevant books and art-infused gifts that are curated and created for a better Juan. Social responsibility is always at the heart of Looking for Juan, and by simply shopping at our store, you can create a generation that reads. This is made possible through our Buy 1, Donate Books to Juan program, where every purchase is matched with book donations to disadvantaged Filipino kids in support of the One Million Books for One Million Filipino Children Campaign of the Center for Art, New Ventures and Sustainable Development.

Not all heroes had names we remember. But we continue to live by what they stood for. 🇵🇭

Today, we look back at the portraits of countless revolutionaries in BenCab’s "Heroes of the Past." A reminder that our history was also shaped by people whose names may have been lost, but whose courage remains.

May their bravery live on not only in stories, but in the legacy they left behind, and in the future we continue to build together.

What if the one thing you were forbidden to do was the one thing your heart needed most? 🎵

In the town of Sigasig, singing is forbidden. Anyone caught doing it disappears.

But when Sinta hears a soft humming from the forest, she can’t help but follow the sound and discovers something that would change Sigasig forever.

Follow Sinta's story in "The Hymn of Leaves," written by Katrina Macapagal, featuring the artworks of Chad Montero, published by CANVAS.
