A STREET SCENE IN ALABAY



Albay is the principal sugar district of Luzon. Notice how native houses are set upon bamboo poles, high from the ground; the entrance is effected by means of ladders reaching to the floors. At night the ladder is pulled up and the native feels safe from intrusion. The bamboo around the palm leaf and bark are about all the material the Filipino needs to build his house.
