Paolo has begun his treatment in his fight against Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Things are looking up but it’s still a challenging road up ahead. Join us next Saturday at Draft Punk Craft Cafe for another leg of Paolo & Us, as we continue to show our support for a brother, husband, father, aspiring lawyer, friend and fellow musician in his journey towards healing and recovery. It’s Paolo & Us.
Featuring performances by KHAN, Soda Can Genie, Lourdes, The Qings, Sheila And The Insects, Kubra Commander and Ohǃ Caraga
Door charge is at 350PHP, with 1 free beer. All proceeds will go to Paolo’s treatment.
This event is co-presented by Capital Dreams Recording Studio and Makers of Midtown in partnership with DRAFT PUNK CRAFT CAFE and Icon Stagecraft Builders.

"It's not everyday that a book comes with an original soundtrack album. This experimental initiative is worth celebrating. It brings us closer to each other. We support each other's local art but also we get to share a story that we all know." - Yassy

"This is a Cebuano story. This happened in Cebu. The decisions of the people involved here were Cebuanos. There are some things which you could only know if you're from here. That is what I realized when trying to recreate the story, that these people were like us. The Cebuanos back then were like us. I read Pigafetta's acount, and then most of the Cebuano words there, that he wrote down, I understood them. Meaning, that world is understandable to us." - Kahlil @kahlilcorazo

"Ang Carabao project actually side project lang ni nako before, katong wala pa ko ni earn og income sa akong paintings. So nangita ko'g side hustle nga maka earn ug maka pay og rent nga dili ko mo balik sa corporate world. At first kay ako lang ang tig-print bitaw. Then karon, daghan nama'g trabaho sa painting ug sa gallery works so ako na siyang gi outsource ang printing." - Wyndelle @carabaoproject@juancarabao

“I really feel like this book is very important for the kids. It preserves our heritage. Kids these days are... The irony of it is they are more interested in the Japanese language rather than our own language. This book will counter that interest I hope.” - Cheryl @tambolbeedraws@lostbookscebu

“and when I came back to Cebu, after years of practice in Makati, I noticed that there’s not much space that’s offering that — a comfortable space where you can focus all day long. And that’s why, to fill the gap in the market, we decided to open.” - Rheland of @sync.cebu

"You might be wondering why we named it Flinders. It's actually a street in Melbourne. Flinders Lane is actually where we got engaged. That's the start of not just our forever, but also where we have decided that we were going to build businesses together." - Jacque of @flinderslanecafe
