It is the manifestation of the way of life of the people. It articulates the Filipino identity thus we need to extract its core concept to be able to understand our culture. This paper shares the characteristics of Filipino Architecture that focus on the traditional style that reflects the activities of the dwellers in terms of materials, decorations, and other features.
