Historical Buildings, Ancestral Houses, Cabucgayan, by Biliran on Mar 6, 2013 23:42:30 GMT 8, Traditional Ancestral houses in Cabucgayan, The Philippines.
Bunga.
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.

Do you think Old Traditional houses like this should be protected and preserved?
This is a house in Almeria town.
As you can see this house had beautiful Capiz Shell sliding windows and very detailed pierced wooden panels back in 2012, but in 2013 much of the woodwork was removed or painted, and the precious old windows were replaced with simple modern aluminium. Do you think these historic houses should be protected by law for future generations or do you think its ok for them to be modernised?

Sadly so many old family houses are abandoned and neglected by the current generation, meaning these Historic buildings are lost forever.
This house is in Cabucgayan Town.

It is rather sad that this will go away. Us learn from history. I wish that the Biliran Government see it, and value for future generation.

What would have been a beautiful old house in Cabucgayan, but now appears to have been stripped of all the wood from it walls, so its just waiting to fall down.

Preservation of Philippines Historic Ancestral Houses.
A once beautiful house in Almeria, but now modernised unsympathetically and losing most of its Historical Filipino architectural features.

Historical Buildings, Ancestral Houses, Cabucgayan, by Biliran on Jul 8, 2017 17:56:22 GMT 8, A really beautiful old ancestral house in Cabucgayan town with lovely details and decorative features. Sadly the building is in need of repair and restoration, but I suspect it will probably be demolished within the next few years and replaced with an ugly concrete structure.
