Walk of Hope Update: Bamboo Innovations in Bayawan City, Negros Oriental, Philippines

in steemph •  7 years ago 

From something ordinary...

Hi guys! 

This is just an update for the ongoing project while our Marlon aka @flabbergast-art is still in Bayawan City, as he waits for our "Bamboo Planting" by the 24-25th of this month. His stay has been planned for him to help in creating other bamboo innovations as the place is rich in different types of bamboo. 

The planting of bamboo will be of a different variety as the community is still buying them from another town. Unfortunately, the maturity will take 3 years before they get harvested.

One of the men at work!

Are you ready for some awesome stuff...

Just some of the bamboo instruments made for last Friday and Saturday's gigs.

Any musicians out there who wants to try these? According to Marlon, most of these were given away to the kids after last saturday's event.

Can anyone guess on what these are?

They are perfect for reds, but not for whites. 

Wait, i'm not sure if am allowed to reveal what this is!


Sign bamboo pens anyone?


Panaad Festival on April 14th, Bacolod City

Further gigs will be from next Monday after the festival as a delegate and more of bamboo production till tomorrow Friday.

Beautiful handicrafts are what separates us Pinoys from the rest of the world.

Great handicrafts and improvisations kuya..you've seen the bambike?? bamboo car?

Not yet. But I think those concepts are amazing. Investors are the only ones lacking for them to go mainstream.

Bambikes are the service ng mga taga-Bayawan. Bamboo cars nakita ko sa utube☺

God continue to guide them along this beautiful path of supporting his people, the contribution of education in the art of music and making the instruments with native materials make them even more valuable, really every post they publish admired them more. Happiness always

And you @syllem
Thanks for your constant support.

the bamboo itself is so beautiful and then each of the items made from it are so gorgeous...wow!
