Merger proposal

I propose to merge Boga (noisemaker) into Bamboo cannon. I think that the content in Boga (noisemaker) can easily be explained in the context of Bamboo cannon. The term Boga is not unique to the metal cannon, it used also for the bamboo cannon. Plus, the thing did not originate in Cavite, nor does the source article imply it's from Cavite. The same cannon is called boga in Ilocos and other parts of Luzon. To check usage of the word boga see the comment section of bamboo cannon video below:
