Banggéra
In Philippine architecture, the ''banggéra'', also known as the ''bánggerahán'', is a feature in a kitchen or dining room of a ''bahay kubo'' or ''bahay na bato'', originating from a time when public drainage systems were still uncommon. Basically a counter space made of slatted wood that protrudes from the kitchen or dining room to the back lawn, it would serve as the house's dish-washing space and air-drying rack for newly washed cookware, kitchen utensils, and tableware before these were stored in a sideboard (''platera'') or cupboard (''pamingganan''). Newly washed cups would typically be inverted on the ends of wooden sticks and the plates placed between or above the slats. Because the ''banggéra'' is made of slatted wood, it is a source of natural light that enters the counter space.

Bahay Na Bato
''Báhay na bató'' ( Filipino for "stone house"), also known in Visayan as ''baláy na bató'' or ''balay nga bato'', and in Spanish language as ''Casa de Filipina'' is a type of building originating during the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. It is an updated version of the traditional '' bahay kubo'' of the Christianized lowlanders, known for its use of masonry in its construction. It uses stone and brick materials, and later synthetic concrete, rather than just organic materials of the former style. Its design has evolved, but still maintains the ''bahay kubo'''s architectural principle, which is adapted to the tropical climate, stormy season, and earthquake-prone environment of the whole archipelago of the Philippines.
