Best Answer

The Philippines has a wide range of percussion instruments, but here are a few that I know of:

1) Gabbang--it is a wooden box with wooden bars nailed on top of it. You make sound by striking it with a wooden hammer. Basically, it's a wooden xylophone famous in Sulu.

2) Tugo--mostly used by the Tirurays of Cotabato, the tugo (which came from the Tagalog word "tugod" or "bottom") is a short , wide, foot high drum played like a huge bongo drum.

3) Bunkaka--coming from the Tagalog word "bukaka" or "widely open", it's a commonly used bamboo clapper that the Tinguians and Igorots play. Sound is produced by striking (or karate-chopping) the split end of the thick bamboo instrument.

Although this simply states three native percussion instruments from the Philippines, feel free to learn more about it. Believe me, I'm 100% Filipino and yet, I feel like I know nothing about my beautiful country!
