Travel Bug: Barili Structures
barili is just another sleepy town on the way to moalboal, badian or kawasan that people rarely get to appreciate the potential heritage and cultural richness of the town. roughly 65 kilometers south west of Cebu City or an hour and a half drive, one travels all the way to carcar then cut through the mountain to end up in barili.
if there's any frustration on my part it would be the lack of knowledge about filipino design influences specially for old architectures (houses, churches etc). from an uninformed perspective, majority of the houses follow the balay-na-bato (house of stone) design which is a generalization of houses structured like a rectangle with a solid base and a second floor that is usually lined with capiz windows.

aside from the general architectural design themes observed, there are other elements unique to each house. the roof awning (underside of the roof that goes beyond the walls) feature intricate patterns:

another interesting structure can be found along the main road in barangay guibuangan. hospicio de san jose is different in its facade and design influence, featuring pointed turrets as a strong theme. the story behind this home for the aged is very interesting and deserve another tale...

and just in case you decide to retrace my wandering foot in barili, make sure to look for this house that bears the name of Jose Estrada, NFA Rice Dealer.
