Maiden Post

Maligayang Pagbati! Tuloy po kayo!

That is how we Filipinos greet our guest, a manifestation of our hospitality, our version of the western saying “FEEL AT HOME.” The difference is you can take it literally. To us you can borrow everything. From clothing, slippers, soap, toothbrush if you have a strong immune system, you can even watch TV. — 24/7 while the host serves you an abundant five meals a day. Well, what can I say, why spend too much in a hotel if you have a Filipino friend?

Any way, more than anything, I welcome you all to my blog. It is entitled ANG BAHAY (the House). And for those who are sure to themselves that the content of these will be a review of a Japanese horror film – I apologize. It is sounds one but its not.

ANG BAHAY is a blog intended for Filipino architecture & Life Style. Earlier, I have shared our custom, our way of reaching other people. This is how the blog is intended for, to share our distinct and colonial life style, and how these practices, including the natural factors affect and moulds the Filipino spaces.

Again, MALIGAYANG PAGBATI!
