Clothing adaptation

Location and climate are important factors in determining the garments or clothes worn in a community.

In the Highlands for instance, the wind is cold.

Because of this, people need to wear thick clothes for protection.

People who live in the lowlands wear thin and comfortable clothes. This is because of the hot weather in their community.

To ease the discomfort, it is better to wear thin clothes.

Shelter adaptation

Filipinos also adapt their homes to the community's climate.

The province of batman's is located at the northern most part of the Philippines.

It is often passed by storms.

They adapt by constructing their homes low.

They reinforce their walls by using stone, reed, and cogon.

One side of the houses has no windows and faces direction of the strong wind.

The stone houses of the ivatans
effectively protect the people 
From strong typhoons. 

Some groups, like the badjaos, reside by the shore.

Their communities face the duly sea and celebes sea.

Their homes stand on waters with their stilts measuring to over five feet tall from the ground.

With this structure, their houses are protected from seawater during high tide.

Badjao houses have high stilts. 

The ifugaos of Cordillera have houses that are elevated four feet from the ground.

This is their way of protecting themselves against wild animals living in their surroundings that are often found in forests.

The stairs could be removed or detached for their own safety.

The ordinary nipa hut seen on the plains is made from bamboo and nipa or anahaw leaves.

This is suitable for hot areas because wind can freely get in and out of the house.

The nipa House is also lightweight making it easy to lift and transport to a different place. This is elevated from the ground to protect it from floodwater during heavy rains.

It is comfortable to live in 
The nipa hut where everyone can
Breath of fresh air.
