Another 'old' house belonging to the old families in Tacloban. This one is where my favorite secondhand bookshop /coffeeshop (Libro) is located. You can read a good book AND drink coffee at the same time. Old Filipino-Spanish homes in the Philippines used the first floor as the 'grannary' where they stock-piled rice grains. I remember such homes and the smell of mustiness and earth, the coolness and the feeling of being home. Kind of like being in a cellar with windows. There's a trend now, of repainting these old houses with vivid colors. Remember the Pepsi ad?
Hehe
