This is Puerto Princesa City's old governor's residence, now being turned into an official creative hub in the city. Through @sallylebante , I had the chance to meet Ms. Angie Mendoza, Head of the Puerto Princesa Tourism & Culture Office. The space was offered to Astrolikha as an official creative space in Palawan and that is now part of our growing network of co-creators.
We'd be glad to explore endless creative possibilities in Palawan rooted in culture, identity, truth, and community.

Had a great time sharing our stories from Cavite to Palawan and how we built Astrolikha. Maraming salamat @sallylebante for inviting me to your Design Kwentuhan! Thank you also to @weavingecosystems and to all the individuals who opened their doors for collaboration with Astrolikha in Palawan. I'm excited and looking forward to seeing what's ahead of the Puerto Princesa creative scene, especially for the young Palaweรฑo designers and creatives.
Astrolikha (@astrolikhaofficial ) founder Onix Mendoza (@onixcoded ) staunchly defends Caviteรฑo creatives and passionately speaks about the magic of community. In his ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐ interview, he expounds on why being from the province is not a disadvantage, but a perspective and a grounding into who you are and what has shaped you.
