Hi, Fred,
i’ve been reading a lot of Batanes of late, thanks to some foreign expats living there. Anyway, I also wrote to the office of the President (hahaha) that in future, all houses built there should be patterned after those stone house in Batanes. Now, wouldn’t that be nice? I mean, in reverse, our country will begin to look like a proper European country. yes, houses here in Europe are made of stone, especially those up north in Spain and they really look lovely—and of course they last forever. The thing is, expenses for facade in future would be nil, if our Housing ministers and staff would impose on stone and concrete and bricks only materials.
Why should we use corrugated iron sheetings for roofing there when concrete, bricks and stones are readily available? Our houses there in the future, whether owned by middle classes or lower middle classes or poor, will stunt the constant reminder of haves and have nots. We would all feel equal if this sort of housing is encouraged. Besides, our country is prone to earthquakes, if we built them with sturdy materials fewer deaths would occur.
OF course, we can also learn from those inhabitants from Batanes: honesty. That tiny shop is really admirable! Oh, if only we can have that kind of life in the whole country!!!
