Ugat ng Kampana (Roots of the Bell)
The largest bell in Lucban, and probably the best sounding bell I’ve heard in all the churches in the Philippines where I’ve been, is hung not by steel chains or metal brackets, but of centuries old roots, some of which are as large as an arm. It is still used today and is rung, sometimes with combination of 2 or 3 smaller bells, every 2 hours starting at 6am until 8 am. Since it’s installation in the 1800s, it has never been broken and replaced.
