9 Century Old Churches in Metro Manila

I am not a Catholic by faith, but I love going to century-old churches in different parts of the Philippines because of their unique walls, artistic designs, and cool interiors. Also, these structures witnessed a lot of huge events centuries ago. They were even built or supervised by prominent and powerful people in the society. I've listed below the 9 old churches in Metro Manila that can be visited during Visita Iglesia.

The Powerful Sound of Las Piñas Bamboo Organ

If I am not mistaken, the Las Pinas Bamboo Organ was our topic when I was in grade four in Sibika at Kultura. The subject was interesting, so the history of the Las Pinas Bamboo Organ remains fresh in my memory, even with the long name of the man who created this majestic organ. Fray Diego Cera Dela Vergin del Carmen was a Spanish missionary born on July 26, 1762, and was the first parish priest in Las Piñas during the Spanish era. He is the man behind this national treasure - Las Piñas Bamboo Organ. He actually came from Graus, now Huesca, a town in Spain, but still, his heart loves the Philippines. F. Diego Cera is also a man of titles; he is a Musician, Architect, Organ Builder, Botanist, Physician, Painter and Geologist.
