METRO
MANILA SUBURBS
The
town of San Juan, just next to Manila, boasts
of its large mansions and modern houses. It is home
to some of the richest Filipinos, including the present
president. Quezon City is the site of many government
installations, leading universities, and television
stations. Marikina City, on the other hand, is
considered as the shoe capital of the Philippines. It
takes pride in having maintained a clean river, planked
by greens.
Las
Piñas City in the southern part of Metro
Manila has retained much of its provincial appeal. Its
main attraction, however, is the world-famous bamboo
organ, found in the town's picturesque Catholic church.
The centuries-old musical instrument was constructed
between 1792 and 1819. It has 174 bamboo pipes, 122
horizontal reeds of soft metal, a five-octave keyboard,
and 22 stops arranged in vertical rows. The church is
open daily except Sunday morning.
