AND THEIR EVOLUTION
The Ivatan House is a
unique vernacular architecture developed in the province of Batanes. Its
compact structure is divided into four areas: the main house, the
cooking house, toilet, and bathhouse. During the cold seasons, the
cooking house also serves as sleeping quarters. The houses of Ivatan are
constructed and repaired through a cooperative system called
kayvayvanaan or kamanyiduan. Through this system, houses are fixed with
immediate action.

Since ancient times, bamboo has been in wide usage as a

countries where it grows abundantly, for building bridges and

Iconic Metropolitan Theater a step closer to salvation
by/Pia Ranada May 23, 2015
Once the crown jewel of Manila theaters, it housed performances of
zarzuelas, bodabil (vaudeville), and operas. It was here where Filipinos
would watch Philippine musical greats like Atang dela Rama perform.
Opened in 1931, the Manila Metropolitan Theater was designed by
legendary Filipino architect Juan Arellano. Designed in the Art Deco
style, it survived World War II.

'Buildings are not just structures. They anchor our collective memory and are

For more than a decade now, the Manila Metropolitan Theater has looked less like
a national cultural treasure and more like a forgotten piece of history. But it
is slowly coming back to life.

Waste and wastes
are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded
after primary use, or it is worthless, defective and of no use.
The term is often subjective (because what is waste to one need not necessarily
be waste to another) and sometimes objectively inaccurate (for example, to send
scrap metals to a landfill is to inaccurately classify them as waste, because
they are recyclable).

improper disposal of e-waste has spurred a local economy of scavengers and junk
shops. They believe that the way out is a system that holds manufacturers
responsible for the recycling of electronic trash
The program aims to recover and recycle electronic wastes, e-wastes,
specifically mobile phones and portable devices such as tablets, so:
a. Promote proper disposal of mobile phones and other electronic wastes
