The morning was spent doing press for the trip. Travis, Georgia and Alex from BALUTI fielded questions from local and national reporters. Travis also presented Alex with his Staying Alive Foundation Award.
In the evening it was time to get a taste of Filipino music. We went to a club called mag:net where a whole bunch of local bands were playing - including an indie rock band called Archipelago. Travis was recording all the music on his TasCam recorder, but when Archipelago were a couple of tracks in he couldn’t resist jumping up on stage with them…
See the video here:

“NEW FAVORITE BAND…ARCHIPELAGO from the Phillipines..check them out. SO dope!!!!!”
We also caught up with hot Filipino band Milagro, who were playing - here’s their message for Travie:
ps. they are the nicest dudes you could ever meet.
NB: If you read this post earlier you might have noticed that i got the band names mixed up - thanks to Archipelago for correcting me!

The band in the shout-out is not Archipelago, it’s Milagro, the band that played before Archipelago. Archipelago’s the band Travis jammed with on the vid above the shout-out. Just FYI
Thanks for doing your awesome work to help the Baluti Foundation!
Thanks Julie! Hey, we met you, right! Anyway, if this is the same Julie, we hope your stay in Manila was awesome.

What were you using to record this? I was coming down the stairs when you were interviewing Milagro and was surprised that such a tiny device could have such good resolution. @_@
