SOME LIVES ARE TOO VIBRANT TO BE SUMMARIZED IN A FEW WORDS.

Chirum Aliño, 46, of Mandaue City, Cebu, Central Visayas, Philippines, passed away on May 7, 2026. Born on November 5, 1979, Chirum was a man of distinct presence, remembered for his sharp creative eye and boundless mastery in the digital arts.

Yet beyond his work, Chirum was a complicated figure. A man who carried great, expansive ideas, and an adventurous spirit who lived a life defined as much by its darkness as its color.

He will be remembered by those who knew him best, not with hollow sentiment, but with an unvarnished recognition of the profound impact—both gentle and harsh—he left behind.

To those who shared his orbit, his presence was unforgettable, leaving an indelible imprint through both the warmth he offered and the storm he carried.

He is survived by those who endured his complexity, remembered by those he impacted, and laid to rest in quiet, absolute truth.

Currently, Chirum's urn is held in the residence of his eldest, his only daughter.
