It was made and owned by Mang Johnny. He made his own version of this favorite carnival ride because they could not afford to ride the regular Ferris wheel during town fiestas.
In 1960s, he already made one together with his fellow youth, but was already broken. This year, he made a new one for his grandchildren.

Now, it is already visited by other people especially the youth. Aside from the extraordinary experience of riding this bamboo Ferris wheel, it is also free.
Indeed, it’s more fun in the Philippines!
