Bahay Kubo |
The Illustrated Version of the Philippine Medicinal Plant song |
by Godofredo U. Stuart Jr. |
 A bahay kubo in rural Tiaong that lives the song, housing
a family of six who survives off the plants that grow around their humble
abode. The hut was built from recycled parts, coco lumber posts, strips
of bamboo for siding, and roofed with corrugated metal sheets. Around
the house grows a miscellany of vegetables – kamoteng kahoy, sitaw,
kalamismis, paayap, pipino, okra, ampalaya, kalabasa, papaya or talong
– for daily table fare and a small amount sold in the market to
buy their daily measures of rice. |
