On February 15, 1882 , a huge bell was hoisted to the five-meter tower with the aid of wooden and bamboo scaffolds. The bell tower was donated by Don Agustin Bautista, former Alcalde, costing 450 pesos.

One of my recollections from stories from my uncles is that the bell was made by melting down coins. So I assume it took lots and lots of coins to produce that bell.
