A vlog of the Patron of the Arts Davao Spring on April 2025.

This was my first Patron of the Arts and my first time at Espresso Lab.

Patron of the Arts Davao Spring

Patron of the Arts or POTA is a Manila-based art market which occassionally organizes art markets in Davao and other cities. I believe their first Davao event was in 2024 but this was my first visit.

I thoroughly enjoyed going through each section but I had no real strategy going in. This was a problem because it became a bit overwhelming. There were a lot of artists and craft shops to visit. And way too many people. Plus, I was carrying my big work bag.

Fortunately, I had already reserved my picks from the catalogue of my favorite local artist Amberclopedia. I was also able to buy some stuff from other local artists and artists from out of town. And I met one of the artists who was one of my online mutuals, Marc M.

The next video is all about my POTA Spring 2025 Haul.

Espresso Lab

I had heard so much about Espresso Lab during the height of the COVID pandemic but I never got to visit them.

I ordered Bacon Cream Pasta and Iced Coffee. Both were ok but nothing remarkable.

This was a triring day mostly because I lacked sleep and was carrying a big work bag. But I did enjoy POTA.
