Torn & Frayed in Manila has come across a site of interesting links from the Philippines - included in which is a link to the site of the Philippine’s only bagpiper-for-hire.

My name is Roy Macgregor-Esposo Espiritu, the Philippines’ first and only Filipino bagpiper to date. I am a Filipino of Scottish descent from the Macgregors of Nairn, Scotland. Growing up in a family that is well in touch with its Scottish roots, I grew up listening to the music of Scotland and the Great Highland Bagpipes.

This boggles the mind - not that there’s a piper in the Philippines, but because Pinoy Piper has a monopoly and the product is not crap. That is a true rarity. Sample MP3s are here.
