Welcome to Dagsa Place Bayawan City and meet the people behind these creative work arts made of bamboo!

Welcome to Dagsa Place where you can find amazing art works and amazing people behind this creative arts and place. I knew Tatay Dagsa way back 2013 when i still a student, they conducted a free workshop and seminar on how to save the earth sharing their advocates. Tatay Dagsa or Tata Felcon made his name when he traveled around Philippines using his home made skate board, with him is his advocacy to help earth by recycling drift woods and other garbages. Dagsa place is referring to a place where most of the recycling process are made. Tatay Dagsa which is his real name is Tatay Felcon Rivera who took the initiative to promote and push through his movements. Dagsa is an illongo dialect for drift wood.

The Dagsa continues until Marlon Ponsoy or also known as @flabbergast-art came in together with the @walkofhope project to help develop the dagsa place. The dagsa place today is way different from before. New look, new activities, improbements, work shop and new opportunity for the people to enjoy the place.

This is how the Old Dagsa Place looks like.

It was just a simple native small house made of bamboo, Nanay Dagsa the wife of tatay dagsa used to sell foods and other coffee before.

This is the old Dagsa Place, it was an old native house where Wife of Tatay Dagsa used to sell foods and coffee. It is still the place where the recycling of drift wood are being made. It was just look like a simple small store, nothing special in it, having no life and not so attractive.

The last time i visited the place, we used to sleep in that small native house. It was just small that can accommodate 5 person. But the place is cool, it is just few distance away from the sea shore. Besides of that little house, is the road going to the end of the boulevard.

It was indeed a privilege for us blogger and steemit writer to cover and document the place until how it looks like today. From the old native small house and how it looks like today, the Dagsa today is worth it to visit and stay.

This is the Dagsa Place today, new look and well developed.

With the help of @walkofhope and @flabbergast-art, this new Dagsa Place has been made and it is open for public viewing.
