“Good? It is the best water I ever tasted in my whole life,” answered the fox, drinking a gulp of water.

THE LAS PIÑAS BAMBOO ORGAN

The Las Piñas Bamboo Organ in St. Joseph Parish Church in Las Piñas City, Philippines, is a
19th-century church organ with unique organ pipes; they are made almost entirely of bamboo. It was
completed in 1824 by Father Diego Cera, the builder of the town's stone church and its first resident
Catholic parish priest.
The organ has a history of survival for 160 years. With the help of townsfolk, he selected the best
bamboos which were buried in beach sand for six months to cure and protect them from wood boring
insects. It has 1, 031 pipes of which 902 are made of bamboo. Time, nature, earthquakes, and floods took
their toll on the organ. It was unplayable for many years, dismantled during the Philippine Revolution,
and reassembled in 1917. It was then continually repaired by the Japanese in 1943.
In the early 1970s, the parish priest Mark Lesage and Leo Renier, together with the people of Las
Piñas, decided that only total rehabilitation could save the organ and its dying beautiful music.
The organ was declared a National Cultural Treasure of the Philippines in November 4, 2003. The
St. Joseph Parish Church, the church museum at the old convent house, and the famous organ is a popular
tourist destination for Filipinos and foreign visitors alike in Las Piñas.
