While
the guests/attendees are having dinner, Roberto played all-Filipino
songs on the keyboard that he bought from Kasiano Sugiyama in 1997.
Although some keys are not producing a sound, listeners don't notice it.
That keyboard made about $20,000.00 in less than 20 years. He set the
keyboard near the sound system because the cord to connect it there is
very short.
