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 Boo

ks 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.

To our homes wherever we may be, we celebrate you. ✨

Salamat sa pag-aarugang walang hinihintay na kapalit, sa mga bisig na laging handang umalalay at sumagip. Kayo ang aming tunay na ilaw sa mundong ito.

Maligayang Araw ng mga Ina! 🌸

Isang pagpupugay sa lakas ng bayan, sa lakas ng manggagawa.

Saan man tayo dalhin ng buhay, sa lupa, sa dagat, o sa ibayong dako, tayo ang sandigan at tunay na puwersa ng pag-unlad.

Nawa’y patuloy nating ipaglaban at pangalagaan ang karapatan ng bawat manggagawa: mula sa makatarungang sahod, ligtas na kondisyon sa trabaho, karapatang mag-unyon, hanggang sa dignidad at pagkakapantay-pantay para sa lahat.

Maligayang Mayo Uno! ✊

Fill your home with art and stories, and extend that sense of wonder to others. ✨

This World Book Day, we’re reminded that not every Filipino child grows up with access to books. And that’s something we can help change, together.

Our hope is to nurture more homes and communities that foster a love for reading; to keep stories finding their way to where they’re needed most.

Give a book. Share a story. Be part of the movement.

With your support, Looking for Juan helps bring more books to children, in partnership with CANVAS.

Let’s raise a generation of readers. Happy World Book Day! 📖
