We have never been more connected. Bakit parang lalo tayong nagkakalayo?
Yung kaibigang nagtanong kung okay ka, then stayed nung hindi ka pala okay. That 2am conversation you did not plan, and still think about.
Maliit lang naman yung mga yun. But they stay with you.
Every meaningful connection leaves a mark. Yun ang ipinangalan namin sa sarili namin.
Connection does not happen because someone has the answers. It happens because someone asks the first question.
Bakás means the mark that stays.

There is a reason the questions are in that order.
Comfort Cards® are built on Comfort Conversations™, the approach our co-founders John and Camille developed out of their own lives. They were university students during the pandemic, carrying depression, grief, academic pressure, and family they could not talk to. Walang ligtas na lugar para magsalita.
So they learned what actually helps a person open up, and what makes them shut down.
Walang tama o maling sagot dito. Ang tanong lang ang inayos namin.
Hindi rin namin inakalang ganito ito tatama.
Totoong tao. Totoong reaksyon.

Muntik na kaming magsara bago namin ito natamaan.
Bakás® started as something else, at muntik nang magsara ang buong negosyo. We were close to shutting down when we realized the thing people actually needed wasn't another product. It was permission to connect.
So we built it. Camille brought the approach. We brought everything we had left.
Ang sumunod, hindi namin inaasahan. It became the number one cards on TikTok Shop Philippines, bought by hundreds of thousands of people who wanted the same thing we did.
Marami pa kaming inaayos. Pero itong parte na ito, natamaan namin.
John and Camille, founders of Bakás®
Cards lang ang una.
Bakás is a Filipino human connection brand. We create products, content, and experiences that bring people closer. Comfort Cards® is where we started, hindi kung saan kami titigil.
May Comfort Convos na ngayon, isang show kung saan uupo ang dalawang tao na walang host at walang script. May Comfort Journal para sa mga usapang para sa sarili mo lang.
Iba-iba ang anyo. Iisa ang habol: mas madaling simulan ang mga usapang mahalaga.
