Dandy Store, by Biliran on Aug 29, 2013 20:50:31 GMT 8,
Dandy Store along Padre Inocentes Street, Naval, Biliran Province.
Many of the beautiful traditional wooden houses in the Philippines and around Biliran Province have sliding shutter windows that rather than glass, have Capiz shell windowpanes. The Oyster or Capiz shells have been used in windows even during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines as glass would have been too expensive for most people to use.
