At the first stop of the Manila tour, we came to the Las Pinas Catholic Church on the outskirts. The church was built in 1762 and retains one of the world's only large pipe organs made of bamboo tubes. It is more than 3 meters wide and consists of 714 bamboo tubes with different calibers. The largest bamboo tube is 2.44 meters long. 12.7 cm. The bamboo organ was embedded in the tall walls of the church and it took eight years to complete the production in 1821. It is not only a portrayal of Spanish colonial history, but also one of the existing symbols of Filipino music art. 100 years have passed, during which many earthquakes, typhoons and wars have been tested. In 1973, it was transported to Germany for repairs, but it is still intact and is one of the attractions that attract tourists in the Philippines. Walk into the church, where the seats are full, and the popularity of the church is high. The decoration in the church is not gorgeous, but full of the power of faith. The huge bamboo organ inlaid on the wall instantly caught our eye, and the tune it played was melodious. It is a week of worship in the church. We are fortunate to see the godfather and the believers praying together. The scene is spectacular. People who pray in the church, both men and women, and the children here are particularly attractive. They are very shy, but always smile. The grandmother who sells flowers at the door, focusing on her own flowers in the warm sun, is very harmonious.
