Bamboo Organ, Las Piñas

It was daytime and non working day. My cousin and I gets bored and nothing to do but to think where to go. Since we're living in Pasay and easy access to everywhere, we decided to go to see the Bamboo organ out of curiosity :P

Known around the world as one of the most unique instruments, the world’s one and only Bamboo Organ sits just 10 kilometers to the south of the center of Manila. This truly amazing instrument can be witnessed in its full glory every February when internationally acclaimed musicians gather at St. Joseph Parish Church in Las Piñas to play a large assortment of compositions on this extraordinary instrument.

I only see this back in Elementary and High School in our Hekasi and Panlipunan subjects. And now, i saw it finally in my very own eyes!

Their Altar and the bamboo ceiling i think? XD

An old church bell inside the museum of the Las Piñas Parochial Church has an inscription that says 'Siendo Cura-del Pueblo de Las Peñas el M.R.P. Padre Diego Cera se Fundio este equilon ano de 1820.' It shows that as early as 1820, the town had been called 'Las Peñas' until sometime in history when the name was changed to 'Las Piñas
