Philippine dwellings described by Prof Worcester
Prof Dean C Worcester details Philippine houses resting on heavy timber foundations with floors raised five to ten feet. Framed in bamboo tied with rattan, roofs of palm or thatch, walls of split bamboo, and large vents. Ladders provide entry, cooking in a corner with smoke often makes rooms hard to inhabit, though better homes have multiple rooms and cooking areas. Ventilation is praised and lighter construction resists quake and wind. Richer natives sometimes use boards with iron roofs and limestone foundations, though cost and comfort decline. The text notes a church service and a Bishop Kingsoly1 confirmation at the Episcopal church on February 12.
