The Story Behind the Art
Grace Keeps Me was born from a simple belief — that faith planted
early becomes the foundation that holds through every season of life.
For the child who wakes up and reads a bible verse with Hiraya, Aljon, and Buko. For the teenager finding her identity. For the newly wed building a home. For the Filipino far from home raising children who have never seen the Philippines. For everyone who needs a quiet daily reminder of what is true, good, and worth holding on to.
We also believe that culture is worth preserving. That a bilao, a salakot, an Aspin — these are not just objects. They are memory. They are identity. They are the Philippines carried with you wherever you are in the world.
This is art made for Filipino homes — for every stage of life, for every generation that deserves to know where they come from and carries the Philippines wherever they go.
About the Characters
Aljon was 28 years old. A chef who started in Cebu and made it all the way
to Disney Orlando on his own talent and his own dreams. Gone too soon.
Hiraya is an old Filipino word. It means the fruit of one's hopes and dreams.
Two separate names. But in bringing them together we found something unexpected —
a way to plant faith, keep culture alive, and carry someone we love forward, all at once.
