Meet Bamboo Buddy: Turning Simple Ideas into Sustainable Living🌿

A Featured Seller on GREEN SUPPLY CEBU

🌱Rey Galon Built Bamboo Buddy in Lahug

When I dropped by Salinas Drive in Lahug last week, I didn’t expect to stumble upon such a calming and humble space filled with handcrafted bamboo products. That’s where I met Rey Galon, the mind behind Bamboo Buddy, one of our proud local vendors here at GreenSupply Cebu.

Rey isn’t your typical businessman. He used to work in events production but found himself rethinking his direction after the pandemic hit. “Daghan kaayong plastic,” he said, shaking his head while sipping his brewed salabat tea. “Every event I worked at, naa gyud mga disposable nga materials. Then I thought what if we can change that, at least sa small way?”

And that thought was the seed that grew into Bamboo Buddy.

🌿 How Bamboo Buddy Started

Rey started small, working on a few handmade bamboo toothbrush holders and cutlery organizers during his free time. His passion for sustainability, combined with his practical craftsmanship, pushed him to explore more ways to turn native bamboo into useful everyday items.

“At first, I was just making them for personal use or pang-regalo,” Rey shared. “But I realized there’s a real demand for eco-friendly, locally made products, especially from businesses that want to go green.”

Thanks to Green Supply Cebu, Rey no longer has to do it all alone. Through the platform, Bamboo Buddy is now visible to a wider network of B2B buyers like cafés, resorts, wellness shops, and even LGUs who are actively searching for sustainable alternatives. GreenSupply takes care of the backend, so Rey can focus on what he does best: crafting quality bamboo products straight from Lahug.
