A woodhouse built or moved here and there...

Where the roads are, so there be place for some to  build a house whether it be on flat ground or on  a cliff.How stable is the foundation of this house remains to be seen but they seem to like living this way. Location is somewhere between Bangaan and Banaue,Ifugao where the famed Banaue Rice Terraces is located.Pine tree anchors a house built on used lumber wood.The cost of building a new house in the Philippines undeniably  makes it hard for the general populace to meet the high cost of construction materials and real estate especially by those  with meager income.Looking at other means and resources  to build practically plus a  little bit of ingenuity produces a good result like this one wood house embedded in a large pine tree   in the Cordillera mountains of North Luzon.

Had this house not been made of bamboo wood, how can it ever be moved to another  key location? Maybe a thriving and bigger community prompts the owner of this house to  transfer to a new place.The Filipino word “Bayanihan” refer to a spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular undertaking.It is traced from a common tradition in Philippine towns where community members volunteer to help a family move to a new place by volunteering to transport the house to a specific location.
