Our students success stories
Below is what our students have to say about us.
The Bamboo Fundamentals Training under Ar. Jed Michael De Guzman who was trained in the Bamboo University in Bali is an amazing experience. Having to live in the Bamboo House in Manolo Fortich for 9 days and studying the importance of bamboo in sustainability and bamboo from planting, propagation, clump management, to harvesting, to treatment and actual handling, to uses in furniture and actual construction of a bamboo house. Indeed, it's a life changing experience.

Eight days? With so many discoveries and experiences at every "bamboo node," I forgot to count the days. Interesting, exciting, exhausting. Every day was a "pliant like bamboo" movement from theory to practice, from lecture to workshop, from ideal to real. But more than the magic of bamboo, it was the contagion of interacting with people in love with bamboo that spelled the difference.
Father Mario Baclig

Mula 1st module hngng last. Im sure wala kng palalampasin. Sobrang saya ng work shop, very interesting and exciting, nakaka-adik ang bawat work shop.I almost didn't want to stop hand on training. You don't have to be a skilled worker to train, you need to learn.
Edel Pacaldo
The workshop was very comprehensive and gave lots of opportunities for hands-on experience. I really got to know and understand bamboo in its entireity, which gave me a great appreciation for its value both to the environment and the human community. I cannot wait to make use of my new skills!
