RE: Bahay Kubo: Architecture, Culture and Filipino Family

Bahay Kubo estimated that it would be weak against typhoons, venomous snakes, wild beasts, and poisonous insects.

I agree that the traditional Bahay Kubo does not fits well with typhoons and the wild life. You can check "This Tiny House Design Gives a Modern Take on the Bahay Kubo by Nicole Arcano". It talks about one of the variation to make a modern Bahay Kubo.

The modern Bahay Kubo appears to mimic the design structure of the traditional Bahay Kubo. The modern Bahay Kubo is a sturdy and stylish building constructed with modern building materials of concrete and steel!

Filipino construction designers and construction engineers are very talented! 😄
