BULACAN, Philippines – What began six months ago as a modest gallery for the works of 53-year-old visual artist Jonathan “Jonet” Carpio has become one of the newest gathering places for artists and diners in Bulakan town, Bulacan province.

Nestled along the banks of the Bulakan River in Barangay Sta. Ana, Malayah Art Café is just an hour away from the hustle and bustle of Metro Manila, drawing patrons with its food and a rotating lineup of exhibitions that give both established and up-and-coming artists a place to spread their wings.
