The Badjao people are a good example of a thalassocratic society, having lived for centuries in small houses built on stilts between coastal rocks and reefs in the Philippines, adopting a lifestyle close to the sea. However, modern perspectives see the Badjao houses as inappropriate for today's standards and argue they should be removed from their traditional territories.

For the Thallasocratic society these small civilization of sea dwellers are a good example of Thallasocratic society.
They are called badjao and they have
proven to survive so long through human history. Badjao’s found a life near the water and miles away from land and they made it look like its their territory, they easily adopt its enviroment and make use of it and build their home right there. A home that is eco-friendly for they build their houses near the stilts and is placed carefully between costal rocks and coals that could not harm any wildlife from the sea. These badjao houses’ has been part not just from history, but also from architecture. For the Badjao consider design as a communal practice by simply building their houses out of dribwoods and debris. The Badjao’s also shown us that we could easily or possibly adopt to our environments. However, as time goes by people in our generation had different perspective about these Badjao houses. They couldn’t see the Architecture in it anymore and the only thing that they could see is that it is not approriate or it doesn’t fit well in today’s generation. That they should be remove from their so called teritory since then and find themselves a new home.
