Born and raised in the US, Bryan explains why he became a Filipino citizen. A Philippine resident for 17 years, he has started multiple ventures with bamboo being a main component, including the popular bambike tours of Intramuros. He tells Howie Severino about the impact of restricting car use in Intramuros in favor of pedestrians and bikers, and why bamboo can help save the planet. Speaking from his seaside base in Batangas, the social entrepreneur shows Howie his latest bamboo creation, sitting on the ocean and ready for action.
