esque than the old Spanish houses, however. and
seem TO fit in with the landscape. Some of the
houses are combination of the two styles. Just
as much of the architecture and method of build
ing is the outcome of the fear of earthquakes
and typhoons so also does the severe rainy sea-
son modify to a large extent the manner of
erecting houses. Many of the nipa huts, espe-
cially those near the banks of a stream

more substantial houses the family-as already

temporary canals.
