Why you need to visit the Bamboo Intramuros

There are very few places in Metro Manila that would make you feel relaxed and one with nature .




I was fortunate enough to meet one of the legendary owners of  Bamboo Grande franchise. 



Honesto Deuda aka Ka-Oni  is well loved by friends, acquaintances and people who have met him from different walks of life.

 He co-owns some of the best bar and restaurants in Metro Manila. Ka Oni is known for creating inspiring and bars that have soul, spunk and spirit.

 He has been conceptualizing organic looking resto bars for more than 10 years now.


Ka- Oni's creations are noticeable because the resto bars that he creates are made out of love for music and the arts.

His process is different, Ka Oni  creates the vision for the restaurants but does not need to put them on paper, they are directly executed from his imagination to reality.

  Ka Oni was already featured in Mabuhay International Magazine for the amazing work that he has done with his surrounding community way back in the 90s.

Fernando Poe Jr. once commended him for what he has done with the community garden in San Agustin Church. 


 He is fond of gardening and makes use of organic materials as part of his design creations.

Most of Metro Manila hardly have any vegetation. Ka Oni continues to plan and re-green areas

Bamboo Intramuros was just recently opened and it is already gaining ground in the community.







 Ka Oni, wherever he goes strives to make the community better.

 The businesses that he creates are not for sole profit alone.

 The designs of his restaurants and bars are  conducive with the community where he is in. 

He is also active in developing nearby areas where his restaurants stand in order to make sure that the place will be environment friendly.



Ka Oni like the early visionaries of the Philippines has striven to promote the culture, music and arts of the Philippines.

The activities and events inside his bars are full of inspiration. 

This is the reason why he has gained the respect of the people around him.



He is a visionary, and his main objective in life  is to create a place for artists and musicians.
A performance area where artists could see each other in order to collaborate.

The Philippines is filled with so many artists from different walks of life.


 It would be a delight if a space for musicians, artists and writer would be created. 
 Artists need to have a home, they need to be regarded and loved by their community. 

According to Ka Oni, artists have the power to make any community better--artists make the world better and we need to support them. 

Bamboo Intramuros has just opened this 2016, it was already able to come up with a kick-ass tattoo art festival within just several months of being established.




It is slated to come up with more exciting artist events in the near future-- 

Intramuros is one of the best places to visit when you are in Metro Manila.




Bamboo Intramuros, was created from scratch, and it will continue to evolve. 









People love the place, because the music provided is carefully chosen.





 The food and drinks are affordable and people can have a relaxing time with their friends.






Bamboo Intramuros was constructed by an environment friendly architect-


 Guests can immediately feel the charm and the cool breeze as you sit inside the area.






If you want to support businesses that give back to their community then Bamboo Intramuros is the place to be.

Q&A : At what age did you first realize that you wanted to become an artist? I started to draw at the age of 7, as far as I remember.  I draw simple houses with my cousins. My mother was a disciplinarian before, and she provides used papers for me to draw/scribble instead of me going out and playing around. When my father came back in Philippines from working abroad, he brought set of encyclopedias for me to read.  It was then the first time that I read about paintings of the old masters (e.g. Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh and others) which gave me my

Origami Pilipinas: Changing the Country one paper fold at a time

MAY 22 TIU theater is an artist hub located in Makati, and I was given the chance to watch Bakata: The Battle of Street Poets, a play produced by  Toshihiko Uriu  -   The play was a huge success and is predicted to turn into a Philippine classic, but I am writing this article right now to highlight another story that occurred inside the TIU theater.  A collaboration piece that helped produce the effect of the wonder called Bakata. I noticed the glow of the lanterns and the paper cranes highlighted in the stage design, it had the flair and flamboyant but subtle effect that was needed in order to make the stage look just perfect for the story line.  Leo R Natividad is the President and Owner of Origami Pilipinas.  I was fortunate to meet members like  L.
