Pampanga's Bandurria | Local Legends

Then, he shows the process of building a bandurria. Later, he talks about the health risks associated with his job that caused his brother's death and why China poses a threat to the local musical instruments market.

[@krisf6313]

ABS CBN, you should make more of these, and celebrate Filipino craftsmanship.

[@sinner272]

Agreed. This is what I like about their channel.

[@scarletnadineconcepcion7426]

For me he is not just a local legend... dapat sa kanya national treasure. a national artist. Support local products

[@noneleevaleros2090]

Oo nga...ang galing niya :D

[@mickafebrio8642]

I'm so proud that i still play Bandurria up until now and teach the youths in our parish.

[@ralpharboleda497]

I worked on the same shop(Bandilla)few years back when I was in high school(as my summer job). All I can say is that all of their products are strongly built(hand-made) from Basic Guitars to the most sophisticated Bandurria. Life is good back then, support local.

[@champpi983]

Proud to be Kapampangan Quality over quantity puso. Makaproud kopu sir

[@langchauvin1121]

This man is truly a legend. He's from old school skill and he could be the last of his kind. Guitar making industry started in the 1900's in Pampanga. Pampanguenos can be considered as the first to make guitars and other string instruments in the Philippines.

[@yhanskie2984]

when im watching this, i remember my father, he also a guitar maker,,any kind of string instruments kaya din gawin ng tatay ko,, miss you papa,, sna happy ka jan sa heaven..

[@verjunlucas7404]

Napakagandang pagkilala sa mga Natatanging kakayahan Saludo kay Mang Dante de Guzman! Sana ma ipamana ni Mang Dante sa mga susunod na generasyon ang kanyang kaalaman. Dapat gawin syang Guro sa TESDA ay mag gawa ng kurso sa industriya sa pag gawa ng banduria, gitara at iba pang intrumento pang musika. Dapat supportahan ng gobyerno ang ganitong programa sa kabuhayan at hindi na dapat lumayo ng iba para maghanap ng trabaho. Isang importtanteng bagay at tangkilikin natin ang sariling gawa natin, para kapakanan ng ating lokal na industriya.

[@CoverBeats46]

Ganito dapat mga documentary. Galing.. Support din natin local made guitars.

[@bluzshadez]

Beautiful inlay on the Guitar's rosette! What a very skilled Filipino Luthier. the craftsmanship reigns supreme! Very meticulous and dedicated to his craft. Ang galing ni Mr. Dante de Guzman! World class skilled Luthier! God bless! This documentary makes me want to buy one and learn to play it. I can only play a 12-string guitar. A Banduria has 14 strings on an even smaller sound box and a shorter neck.

[@freya1980]

Sobrang solid ng tunog ng lumanog. Dapat kasi pag tuunan ng pansin ng gobyerno para mas gumanda pa yung quality ng gitara ng pampanga. Kayang kayang sumabay ng Lumanog at iba pang gitara ng pampanga sa mga international brands.

[@peterjogaerlan7868]

The Philippines government must protect this Craftsmen.

[@jeffuy458]

“Kahit walang sahod, basta matuto lang ako”. This is what makes great Luthiers. The Craftsmanship is Amazing. I’ll look for this guy and buy one. #LoveLocal

[@juniorfabian5556]

😊😊😊

[@normancruzin5143]

Yessir! Yung iba ang tanung agad magkano sweldo?. Magkano sweswelduhin ko??. Kahit wala pang gawa eh

[@deguzmanjerddionnej.3917]

When po kayo bibili hahahaha

[@fanphysiquealchemist]

i want to buy couple of these guitars

[@Hanggatmaynananamantala.28]

Support locals kahit saang larangan dahil isa un sa ikauunlad ng bayan nten and i thank u...

[@akosimj9544]

Yung mga ganitong uri ng ARTIST talaga ang dapat na mai-angat para mas mapatibay ang ating kultura at kasaysayan. Hindi yung puro mga rappers, tiktokers, content creators, KZbinrs na kung isip-isipin lang, layo tayong napapalayo sa sarili nating kultura sa impluwensya nila.

[@musiclover7437]

...manong isa ka nang "Alamat " walang duda sa ganda ng mga ginawa mong gitara....mabuhay kayo....sana maipasa ninyo ang inyong galing sa pag gawa ng gitara....*)

[@maegannejazz184]

Its so satisfying to watch.

[@ayenunu]

Based on my research.. dyan sa Pampanga talaga nagsimula.. Sa Cebu naman yong naunang matutcng gumawa ng guitara ay... natuto lang sa Pampanga.. hangang tuluyan na syang tumira sa Cebu kasi nakapag-asawa ng Cebuana.

[@ZuluM77]

I remember you kong Dan. When I used to live at San Anton. Me yari ku High school ken. Uncle ke kong Juanito. I remember u worked sa pag gawa ng billiard table. So proud of u koy.

[@jopetarias681]

Nakakatuwa kasi meron syang Misis na todo suporta sa kanya. Tatlong taon nya niligawan wow ngayon message mo lang sa FB kayo na ahhahah more power po sa inyo. ^_^

[@serenade3868]

Salamat Meri 🙂 I'm proud to be Kampampangan 🙂 keni naka 🙂

[@michaelpaderes6747]

What an excellent documentary. Thank you for celebrating our Local Legends, giving them the honor they deserve, and preserving their craft.

[@Patricio-Mercado-Noel-1899]

Bukod sa Rondalla, ginamit din ang Bandurria para sa Kundiman at Harana noong panahon ng Kastila. Hanapin mo yung obra ni Manuel Espiritu na may pamagat, "Harana" (1892), para makita mo ito.

[@jeremydc9799]

ABS did a great job here. Not only in making this docu. But for sharing it too.. Ang tagal kong aabang na someday mag she share dn kau ng replays. Specialy po dun sa Marawi docu. Ang ganda nun. Kaso d nyo po sheneshare.

[@Patricio-Mercado-Noel-1899]

Ginagamit na ang Bandurria sa Pilipinas noong Siglo XVII (1600's). Sa koleksyon ng Pambansang Aklatan Ng España, may isang dokumento---"Observationes Diversarum Artium" (1669)---na may dibuho ng isang Bandurria na may tatlong kuwerdas at ang sabi sa dokumento, "Vidi Manila Philippinarum...anno. 1663."

[@loudelnavarette]

Pwede pong pa-send ng link tungkol sa article na 'to? Salamat!

[@Patricio-Mercado-Noel-1899]

+Lou W. Pasensiya na po pero hindi ko nabasa ito sa isang artikulo. Nakita ko ito sa dokumento mismo na bahagi ng koleksyon ng Biblioteca Nacional De España. Yung bandurria nakita ko nakakaiba sa modernong bandurria kasi tatlo lang ang kuwerdas at medyo mahaba pero yung katawan ganon pa rin, mabilog.

[@loudelnavarette]

@@Patricio-Mercado-Noel-1899 Salamat po sa pagsagot.

[@Patricio-Mercado-Noel-1899]

+Lou W. Walang anuman. Wala sa akin yung buong dokumento pero may litrato ako ng pahina kung saan may dibuho ng sinaunang bandurria. Puede kong ipadala sa iyo pero kailangan ko yung email mo kung interesado ka.

[@robertzobel5019]

Salute to you Kuya Dan. This is a person deserve to be respected, a great family man and a person who love and care about his job. A true hero to the heart of the Filipino people. Mabuhay po kayo at ang mga taga San Antonio To my fellow countryman, PLEASE SUPPORT OUR OWN PRODUCTS AND SAY NO TO CHINESE MADE PRODUCTS!

Matagal magpasadya pero worth it. I used to play octavina when I was in Elementary. Kung low quality ang instrumento, pag tono palang nyan ng standard titiklop na.

[@cabalenjay3804]

Local govt should have done the initiative to protect these craftsmen.

[@j2atillano]

Mang Dante, gumamit po kayo ng push stick pag tumatabas ng kahoy para mas safe po ang mga kamay nyo. Yan po ang direktang tutulak sa kahoy papunta sa blade ng tistisan hindi yung kamay nyo. Safety first po. Hanga po ako sa passion nyo sa trabaho. God bless po.

I also have used one of your instuments....the Bandurria, Laud, Octavinas, and have paved way to huge success went to many places! @ the Sisters of Mary School-Boystown, Inc. Tungkop, Minglanilla, Cebu

[@k.fr.3228]

I came from a musical family, I play woodwind instruments, my sister plays the piano and violin, but my other sister gulat kami pinili nyang tumugtog ng bandurria (since, we play western instruments) and joined a rondalla group. Now she can play bandurria, octavina and the laud. Which is amazing!

Magellan landed in Mactam Cebu and the Spaniards brought the first guitar ever in the Philippines in the 1500 and this guy from Pampanga claimed they built first guitar before Cebu did well That is false because the first Spaniards did not landed in Pampanga. Cebu is the very first one to ever built a guitar in the Philippines.

[@jrjrjr88]
