Kanto Music and Sound Bar in Makati

If you happen to be in Makati, and you just want to have a simple chill time with your friends without necessarily spending thousands of pesos, then this is the place for you.




Kanto Music and Sound bar located near Makati Square, Amorsolo San Lorenzo, Makati




The place is simply habit forming,  they have some of the best Filipino foods. 

If you are a foreigner and you want to sample top Filipino dishes then Kanto is highly recommended.

The place is  comfortable, you are allowed to have a videoke with you and your guests, and  there is not much distraction in the area.




You can comfortably sit 10 or more friends and have a relaxed time since the place is not too crowded.

One of the best dishes that I have tried in Kanto is the Kilawen.

 I could not get over how good the Kilawen is, not to mention the prices are very affordable.




You can already enjoy dishes that are good for 2-4 people upon order without shelling out 300 pesos per dish, unlike other places in Makati.

The prices of the food range from 100 php to 300, and they already provide huge servings.

They also serve the best Filipino beers like Pale Pilsen, Red Horse among other things. 

Guests can own the stage, and have videoke for as long as they want, while sampling out the food of their choice.




I highly recommend these Filipino dishes at Kanto:


( Crispy Pork sisig- best paired with San Miguel Beer) 


( Dynamite- with Green Chili with Cheese)



( Crispy Pata)


(Sweet and Sour Chicken) 

Apart from the Kilawen, I would also recommend Kanto's Bulalo.





The dishes are well cooked, the place is neat, and the comfort rooms are well maintained. If you are looking into spending just a few thousand pesos  when in Makati then this is the place to be.

Know your local artist: Khervin John Gallandez : The Ilocano Artist

Khervin John Gallandez is an emerging visual artist from Ilocos. It has been a personal advocacy to share the amazing people I have met while on the road Khervin John Gallandez, is one of the many hopefuls in the local art industry— and he is definitely worth our time. He has focus and determination and young artists can learn a lot from his willingness to evolve when it comes to his craft. 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

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 commun

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. River Butay, Adonis dela Cruz as well as Jose Monzales and other volunteers who continue to strengthen Origami Pilipinas. Origami Pilipinas and their Advocacy: Origami Pilipinas, was founded out of pa
