Pit Stop #4 Part 7: Pila, Laguna

The town of Pila is a typical Philippine town during the Spanish occupation. This is what our towns and cities look like before modernization stepped in. A large plaza surrounded by stone houses also known as the bahay na bato.

Pila and adjacent towns along the shores of Laguna de Bay are considered by archaeologists as one of the oldest settlements in the Philippines. The community is one of three such concentrations of population known archaeologically to have been in place before A.D. 1000. Archaeologists recovered in Pinagbayanan potteries and artifacts that indicate considerable settlement in the area during the Late Tang Dynasty (900 A.D.). Archaeologists also recovered ancient horse bones ending the debate on whether the Spaniards brought them or not. The scientists were able to uncover Philippines’ oldest crematorium in the same area. It is worthwhile to note that the oldest Philippine document, the 900 A.D. Laguna Copperplate Inscription, mentioned Pila twice.

The National Historical Institute of the Philippines declared the town plaza and surrounding ancestral houses a National Historical Landmark on May 17, 2000. Two years later, on July 9, 2002, the Diocese of San Pablo proclaimed the parish church of San Antonio de Padua de Pila as the Diocesan Shrine of St. Anthony. According to Philippine historian, Dr. Luciano Santiago, it is the only town in the Philippines that is formally recognized as a historical site by both the church and the state.

Caliraya is a manmade reservoir built in 1943 to supply water to the Caliraya Hydroelectric Plant. The deep waters of the lake and the strong, cold mountain breeze that blows from the Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges and the distant Mt. Banahaw, make Lake Caliraya an ideal place for sailing, windsurfing, fishing and other water sports. There are also campsites, a nearby Japanese garden, first-class resort facilities and Lake front communities surround the lake. For the avid golf fans, there are golf courses too.

Pit Stop #4 Part 3: Paete Church, Laguna Province

St. James The Apostle Church (Paete Church)

Like many of the churches in the province, the Paete Church was built during the early Spanish period. But the novelty of this church lies in the fact that all the religious images found here were carved and/or painted by the residents of Paete long ago.

The intricate baroque altar is a monument to their woodcarving industry and the walls of the church boast of large murals done by Jose Dans (19th Century), a true son of Paete who used color pigments mixed with pulverized volcanic ash and brushes fashioned from cat’s hair. Although the church has been recently renovated, and the construction materials are not like the original, the designs remain mainly the same.

Pit Stop #4 Part 2: Wood Carvers of Paete, Laguna Province

Paete’s Woodcarvers, Paete Laguna

There is a proliferation of woodcarving ranging from small to large scale. Practically all the town folks are involved in this business, either as factory workers or owners – a tradition that has been passed on from generation. The artistic ingenuity of Paete reputedly dates back to the pre-Spanish period, during which, the artists created mostly religious articles.




Skillful artisans patiently fashion lanite, amlang, kamagong, lauan, acacia and santol wood into world-class miniature décor items. The old creations of Paete are among the most valued antiques today. At present, Paete’s artists carve not only religious figures but also genre masterpieces, furniture and just about anything imaginable. The hard work that each Paete artist devotes to his craft indeed puts meaning to the words “made in Paete”.
