Editing Las Piñas (section)

==Etymology==
The story about the true origin of the city's name, "Las Piñas", varies. One version mentioned, that traders from the province of [[Cavite]] and [[Batangas]] shipped their first ''piñas'' (Spanish for [[pineapple]]s) for sale to this town before they were distributed to nearby markets. Another version claims the original name was ''Las Peñas'' (“the rocks”), as the area was a quarry for stone and [[adobe]] used to construct buildings and bridges. The old [[church bell]] of Saint Joseph Parish Church [[Bellfounding|founded]] by Diego Cera has been preserved inside the church museum. An inscription on the bell reads, "''Siendo cura del pueblo de Laspeñas el M.R.P. Padre Diego Cera se fundió este equilón año de 1820''", showing even during Cera’s day as the first parish priest, the town was called "Las Peñas" and eventually renamed "Las Piñas".<ref>Pransism (2011-11).
