A bahay kubo in rural Tiaong that lives the song, housing a family of six who survives off the plants that grow around their humble abode. The hut was built from recycled parts, coco lumber posts, strips of bamboo for siding, and roofed with corrugated metal sheets. Around the house grows a miscellany of vegetables – kamoteng kahoy, sitaw, kalamismis, paayap, pipino, okra, ampalaya, kalabasa, papaya or talong – for daily table fare and a small amount sold in the market to buy their daily measures of rice.

Bahay kubo, kahit munti Ang halaman doon ay sari-sari. Sinkamas at talong, sigarilyas at mani Sitaw, bataw, patani.   Kundol, patola, upo't kalabasa At saka mayroon pang labanos, mustasa Sibuyas, kamatis, bawang at luya At sa paligid-ligid ay liñga.
