The bahay kubo, kubo, or payag (in the Visayan languages) is a type of stilt house indigenous to the Philippines.[1][2] It often serves as an icon of Philippine culture.[3] The house is exclusive to the lowland population of unified Spanish conquered territories. Its design heavily influenced the Spanish colonial-era bahay na bato architecture.
