Ep 12 - Bahay Kubo: A Symbol of Resilience and Heritage

Part of our tribute and celebration of June as PH Independence Month, join Anna and Razel for a fun and reflective journey into the iconic Bahay Kubo. More than just a simple nipa hut, this humble dwelling embodies the very essence of Filipino resilience, community, and ingenuity.

In this episode, we'll explore the Bahay Kubo as a physical structure – from its practical design and natural materials to its enduring presence throughout Philippine history. We'll delve into its origins, understanding how this traditional folk song, often learned by heart in childhood (especially in school), became a beloved Filipino nursery rhyme that subtly teaches us the message of resourcefulness and community. Remember those simple drawings we all made in grade school? They captured the very essence of this iconic home!

We'll also discuss the powerful image of bayanihan – the spirit of communal unity – often associated with moving a Bahay Kubo, and how this value is still deeply ingrained in our culture.

Tune in as we celebrate the Bahay Kubo – not just a house, but a feeling, a heritage, and a portable sense of home that travels with every Filipino, wherever they may be.
