Bahay Kubo

BAHAY KUBO Our Bahay Kubo Is made of light materials of woods, nipa and bamboo It is situated near the sand dunes of the sea Its fence surrounding it is made of bamboo too And kitchen wares from indigenous and pottery also. The style of the Kubo Is a split design, though The upper living room and a bedroom for two While the basement is the kitchen where dining is with gusto And the tub and bath are separated from the Kubo. Our Bahay Kubo is intended for the duo Whose lives are simple but nurtured with love The serenity and oneness bring them together A love nest just simply for the two. Someday with their kids and grandkids Will make the atmosphere livelier and more enjoyable To tend native chicken, vegetables and other livestocks For domestications and food for good times sake With the stars and the moon as company from dusk to dawn. Our Bahay Kubo Is assembled mostly by loving neighbors, Sharing, smiling, bantering at the end of the day For Bahay Kubo is a symbol of bayanihan Where everybody shares the fun! Meanings: Bahay Kubo is a small hut traditionally constructed with bamboo, generally found in rural areas in the Phillipines (For further understanding, watch bahay kubo in u tube) Nipa is a palm leaf use as a roof for bahay kubo Bayanihan is a term that suggests a spirit of unity and effort to achieve a particular effort (from Wikipedia)
