Saga
by Carlo G. Soldevilla
Written on December 10, 2018


I guess many will shed their tears when they see the Balangiga bell(s).
It’s like a love letter of old, longed to be received by someone for her to read with all its nice story to tell.
Like the guitar.., you can distinguish the quality of the sound it produces by the material it is made of--
A guitar with mahogany or spruce or jackfruit board sounds better than an ordinary guitar made of plywood.

These Balangiga bells will surely sound differently from the modern bells because the former are made of old coins gathered by the people of Balangiga (to make that church bell.).
Now, they’re in Japan, tomorrow they will arrive in the Philippines—the long awaited bells will surely bless the hearts of Balangiganons—the bells which created a saga.
