This house made manually by the filipino’s is very known for its form and how it is build, somehow it is like our national house.
This house is made from the leaves of coconut/palm tree.

Some of the Bahay Kubo are also used for accomodation in some or most of the resorts here in the philippines. Bahay Kubo keeps it theme as nature friendly. You can feel the freshness of the place, in my traveling experience i saw some Bahay Kubo that is very native outside but it has an airconditioner and the inside is awesome, see how the filipinos are very inventive.
