      For me what needed is good and easy access to the island like transportation but leave the natural beauty for future generation to see. I love Batanes the way it is. But if you meant is more accomodation or lodging for tourist yes it will be great Batanes will generate more income as well. Love to visit Batanes in the near future

    Nipa huts were the native houses of the indigenous people of the Philippines before the Spaniards arrived. They were designed to endure the climate and environment of the Philippines. These structures were temporary, made from plant materials like bamboo.
    The best Filipino agalog translation for the English word nipa hut. The English word "nipa hut" can be translated as the following word in Tagalog báhay-kubo
    “Bahay kubo” means “country house”

      We do not have a country house. Those are US terms only.
      Bahay Kubo or Nipa Hut is the humbled house of our heritage. It's been a house for our ancestors even until now you can still see bahay Kubo as the main house.
      Today, bahay Kubo is widely used in resorts, beaches and some other reastaurants.

      @@alice.wonder yes. That's right. But the term Country house is only for US. Because country house, are meant for those who leave in the in the country-side. Remember there are Country songs genre? Because those terms are applicable only in the US. Their country house are well built house as well but it just so happened it was in their countryside.
      Compared to our humbled bahay Kubo, which mostly came from natural and organic materials.
      Our country side versions are the provinces, barrios and alikes. The Rural areas. But bahay Kubo will never be a country house.
      In today's generations, the bahay Kubo gained more useful function other than being a typical farm and provincial houses.
      As what I've shared, bahay Kubo now adays are being used in resorts, beaches and even restaurants.
      That is why. But I get your point.
      It's just that bahay Kubo or just simply kubo is not the bahay Kubo we used to know before
