Lola’s Bahay Kubo
This story follows Abi, a 7-year-old girl who spends her Easter holiday in Owakan, Jimalalud, Negros Oriental, staying with her yaya’s family in a traditional Filipino household. As a foreigner, Abi is touched by the warmth and love she experiences, and for the first time, she feels like she has found a second family in the heart of the Philippines. Her adventure begins in a simple bahay kubo on a hill, where life moves gently and food is grown in the backyard. She discovers the beauty of living close to nature—catching native chickens, picking vegetables like sayote and malunggay, and taking refreshing baths in the river. Through it all, Abi learns about Filipino culture, language, and faith.
