Comparison of Bahay na Bato and Bahay Kubo:

When I was still reviewing for my board examination, I sometimes interchanged the usage of the parts
of Bahay na Bato and Bahay Kubo. Sometimes I say "the BULWAGAN of Bahay na Bato" instead of
using "sala" to describe the Living Area of Bahay na Bato. That is why I made this table to perfectly
recognize these terms.
