“If there’s one thing that is unique about Las Piñas, it is the Bamboo Organ, which is considered a Philippine National Treasure. On November 24, 2003, it was given this recognition by the National Museum of the Philippines since “it is the only 19th century Bamboo Organ in the Philippines that has survived and is still functioning.” This unique musical instrument is composed of 1,031 pipes, and 902 of which are made out of bamboo while the rest are metal.”[1]

“The Bamboo Organ was built by FR. Diego Cera, parish priest of Las Piñas in the years between 1817 and 1824. It is essentially a Spanish instrument of the 18th century, his family having been organ-builders in Graus, Hauesca of Several generations. However, the pipes that would have been of wood in Spain were here made of bamboo, the best material at hand. In 1975, the organ was restored by Johannes Klais in his shop in Trier, Germany, and its return to Las Piñas gave rise to the beginning of this Festival. It is currently watched over by the Diego Cera Organ Builders of Las Piñas.”[2]
