Brief Description
Bahay na bato ("house of stone")
is a type of building originating
during the Philippines' Spanish
Colonial period. It is an updated
version of the traditional bahay
kubo. An example of this is the
Rizal Shrine whom a reproduction
of the original two-story, SpanishColonial style house in Calamba,
Laguna where José Rizal was born
on June 19, 1861. Rizal is
regarded as one of the greatest
national heroes of the Philippines.
The house is designated as a
National Shrine (Level 1) by the
National Historical Commission of
the Philippines. The Rizal Shrine is
a typical rectangular Bahay na
Bato, reminiscent of upper-class
Filipino homes built during the
Spanish Colonial era. The lower
portion is made of adobe stone
and brick, while the upper portion
consists of hardwood. The original
interior flooring of the house was
discovered during reconstruction
and utilized. It has sliding windows
made of capiz shells, the exterior
walls are painted green (originally
white), and the roof is constructed
of red ceramic tile. In June 2009,
the National Historical Institute
(now National Historical
Commission of the Philippines)
ordered the shrine's repainting to
highlight the meaning of Rizal's
surname.

carried out under the personal
supervision of the then First Lady
Imelda Marcos.The mosque is
designed with colored tile artworks
on its façade and stained-glass
paintings on some parts of its
ceiling. It was built during the
dictatorship era to be presented to
ruler of Libya at the time,
Muammar al-Gaddafi. The mosque
used to have a minaret and a
fountain and was flocked by
Muslims from other countries.
Today, the mosque is in dire need
of revitalization. The current
administrators have been
campaigning for the government to
reconstruct the now-destroyed

The word palengke is a local
variant of the Spanish word
palenque, literally meaning
"(wooden) palisade or stockade"
and by extension the area
enclosed by such a structure for
defense, public festivals or some
other purpose. An example of this
is the Carbon Market, the oldest
and largest farmer's market in
Cebu City, located in the Central
Visayas region of the Philippines,
and is a major tourist attraction. It
is wheelchair accessible. It can be
reached by most buses or
jeepneys in that area. Wares sold
include clothing and kalamansi,
