Description

This picture shows one of the nicer looking homes at the Aeta Settlement Areain Pampanga. Known as a bahay kubo, it is simply constructed from cheap materials such as nipa, bamboo and strings. Careful attention to the patchwork detail can be seen on the walls of this house. The space below the rooms is used for ventilation, storage area for food, or a shelter for animals that can be taken care of or sold. (date: 2005-01-05)
