BalikGabayan

Who We Are

About the Project

BalikGabayan is a project made to help kids of OFW parents stay close to their moms or dads, even when they’re far away.
Through stories, fun activities, and colorful pictures, we help families share love, laughter, and learning together.

Why it’s called “BalikGabayan”

Balik” means return, and “gabayan” means to guide.
BalikGabayan reminds you that your parent’s love always returns to you, and they will always guide you, even from far away for now.

Our Promise To You!
