Who We Are

I grew up loving superheroes.

I believed in what they represented: courage, 

sacrifice, hope, responsibility, and the idea that 

one person could make a difference.

But I rarely saw Filipino people, families, 

history, mythology, humor, or values reflected 

in the stories that inspired me.

Balisong Media was created to help change that.

Not by placing Filipino characters into 

borrowed worlds, but by building an 

original universe rooted in who we are.

The Heroes of Balisong are love letters to the Philippines—its people, landscapes, traditions, creativity, resilience, and extraordinary spirit.

But these stories are also invitations.

You do not have to be Filipino to enter this world.

You only need to believe that courage, compassion, loyalty, hope, wonder, remembrance, resilience, 

and redemption still matter.

Balisong Media exists to promote Filipino culture and community across the world in an uplifting, inspirational, and transformative way.

Through storytelling, art, education, 

and entertainment, we aim to:

• Create meaningful Filipino-centered representation 
• Introduce audiences to Filipino history, mythology, and culture 
• Inspire courage, compassion, service, and heroism 
• Support future artists, writers, educators, and creators 
• Build stories that connect generations and communities 
• Create opportunities for Filipino talent and collaboration 

We are building more than a comic-book company.

We are building a world of stories that can grow 

across comics, books, animation, games, toys, education, and experiences.
