    The traditional Maranao house is called a torogan. A torogan was a symbol of high social status, as it was once home to sultans or Datu leaders. While concrete houses are now common, some torogans over 100 years old still remain. The best preserved torogans can be found in Dayawan and Marawi City in the Philippines. There are four types of traditional houses built by the Ifugao people: the abong and inappal are temporary structures built directly on the ground or raised for rice growing seasons; the more permanent bale has a one room design supported by wooden posts, resembling an elevated pyramid; and the alang granary house near rice fields

    THE MARANAO TOROGAN HOUSE

    Torogan (lit. "resting place" or "sleeping place"), is a


    traditional house built by the Maranao
    people of Lanao, Mindanao, Philippines.[1] A torogan
    was a symbol of high social status. Such a residence
    was once a home to a sultan or Datu in the Maranao
    community. Nowadays, concrete houses are found all
    over Maranaw communities, but there remain
    torogans a hundred years old. The best-known are in
    Dayawan and Marawi City, and around Lake Lanao.

    IFUGAO HUT

    There are four types of Ifugao houses: regarded as


    temporary lodging during rice cultivation season, the native
    hut: (1)abong is constructed directly on the ground while
    (2) inappal is considerably raised from the ground.
    However, due to financial constraints, these structures
    become actually permanent dwelling place. A more
    permanent, durable and elevated family house is called (3)
    bale. Basically a one room house with an attic for storage, it
    rather looks like an elevated pyramid-like structure
    supported on four wooden post, or tukod. A more
    thorough examination reveals an ingeniously engineered
    domicile that is able to withstand natural calamities like
    typhoons and even earthquakes. Built from indigenously
    found timbers, they are mortised, pegged and tied together
    without the use of nails or bolts. Used as storage for
    harvested rice and rice gods and sometimes as a grave, (4)
    alang or the granary house is built near the rice fields. The
    families from the upper class are the only ones with this
    type of structure.
