Description

This type of houses is more common in the south Kalinga province,to the north of Mt.Province and south east of Abra province,Philippine Islands.

The house shape like "Octagon" for belief that it will give good fortune to the
owner,and its also a slit house but its covered with canes and or logs,its for keeping in animals for the night,so it will be protected from predators or thefts.
Its also a good insulator compered with the Bontoc houses,and its well protected
from enemy Head hunters of the other tribes.

But the house has a problem of its own,most of the animal waste will smell when
its deposited under the house,but cleaned every 5 to 7 days by rolling the cane mats and washed at the near streams and animal waste can be reused as fertilizer for yams and sweet potato.

Made this drawing using old paper and some colored pencils.
