Summary
This study is descriptive, and ethnographic in nature. It make use of
guided interview and observation to gather data to ascertain some beliefs and
practices. The data were gathered from 240 respondents who are pure blooded
Cuyonon; forty of them were the key informants who are Cuyonon carpenters
and old folks. The respondents were classified according to age, gender,
economic status and educational attainment.
HOLY TRINITY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL
The data were translated, summarized, compared and analyzed with the
use of weighted mean, ranking, and two way F- test of variability.
Statement of the Problems
The present investigation sought to find out answers concerning the
Cuyonon extent of beliefs and practices among Cuyonon in building construction
from survey phase up to the occupancy phase.
Specifically, the study sought answer to the following questions:
1. What describes the personal profiles of the respondents in terms of
a. age,
b. gender,
c. economic status; and
d. educational attainment?
2. What beliefs and practices of the Cuyonon are related to construction of
building / homes in terms of
a. selection of Location ( Survey Phase);
b. selection of materials (Mobilization Phase);
c. date of construction ( Processing Phase);
d. before construction ( Planning phase);
e. during construction( Construction Phase);
f. after construction( Completion Phase);
HOLY TRINITY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL
g. before occupancy ( Clearing Phase), and
h. occupancy phase?
3. What are the materials, methods of construction and designs of the
houses of the Cuyonon?
4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the designs and methods
in building constructions observed by the Cuyonon?
5. To what extent do the beliefs and practices in constructing a house are still
observed by the Cuyonon when classified into the following:
a. age;
b. gender;
c. economic status; and
d. educational attainment?
6. Is there any significant difference on the extent of beliefs and practices in
constructing a house/ building when grouped according to age, gender,
economic status and educational attainment?
7. What educational considerations can be made based on the findings of the
study?
Hypotheses
To affirm the findings of the study, the following null hypotheses were
tested at .05 level of significant.
HOLY TRINITY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL
1. There is no significant difference in the extent of beliefs and practices in
constructing a house when grouped according to age, gender, economic status
and educational attainment.
Findings
The following comprise the findings of the study.
I. Personal description of the respondents.
The mean age of the respondents is 41 years old and majority of the
respondents are 40 years old . The average income of the respondents is
13,000.00 pesos and most of them are with college level of education.
II. The beliefs and practices of the Cuyonon in building
construction.
1. Cuyonons believe in the unseen spirits or they call it “sinilig i’ ang dios” or
“impilis” or “impakto”, they believe that this spirits will cause them sickness,
misfortune, and death during selection of location.
2. The Cuyonons believe in proper selection of materials to be used and how
they will be placed or positioned properly, so that they will bring fortune, joy, and
good luck to the home owners.
HOLY TRINITY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL
3. The Cuyonons believe in the astronomical signs, numerological signs, and
signs of the times, date of construction and other events of the nature that
associated with misfortune/ fortune.
4. Cuyonons believe that spirits or unseen creatures will cause them
misfortune and misery if disturbed. They still believe in ancient rituals, traditions
and practices such as “sagda”, “keted”, “pasorai” and “pakalog”.
5. The house plans, proper placement of housing part, and positioning of the
house will cause good luck.
6. Cuyonons believe that ornaments or elemental signs and symbols attract
prosperity and good luck .
7. The Cuyonons believe that elemental signs, signs of the times, rituals and
traditions in transferring into a new house will bring them prosperity and bountiful
graces.
8. Cuyonons believe that elements, signs and objects positioning and
placement cast away bad energies and spirits during their stay in the building.
III. Classification of the Cuyonon design of houses based on economic status.
1. The typical house design of the low income family makes use of “pawid” or
“paod” for the roof and “tadtad” or the wall. This is called “balai nga tadtad”.
HOLY TRINITY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL
2. Original traditional house of the Cuyonon usually has “tambi” or walkway
or a floor part of the houses connecting the main house, palayas and the kitchen
house.
3. The house of average income family is originally made of bamboo and
‘kugon”, semi concrete on the ground floor. It has windows made of sea shell
which they call “kapis”. This type of house is called “semi –tabla’sin” house.
4. The house above average income family design is called “ tabla’sin”. The
posts, purlins, joists, trusses and floors are made of wood. The window is made
of wooden jalousie, and the roofing is made of GI sheets.
5. The house design of the upper above income family is a semi - mestiza
(balai nga mestiza) - Hispanic inspired building.
6. The house of the upper income family is a mestiza design and
combination of Hispanic inspired design and native materials.
7. The rich family house design is a mansion and mestiza style
combination inspired by Hispanic design.
IV. Construction Methods and Processes.
The building construction methods of the Cuyonon is compose of the
following 12 steps, based on the interview of the key informants Cuyonon:
planning stage, selection of location, lot surveys, paketed, pakalog pasorai and
sagda, materials selection and preparation, setting the dates of construction.
HOLY TRINITY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL
Excerpt from “signosan” states that the dates of construction should be
considered most.
In the layouting, excavation, and actual construction phase, the owners
will strictly observe their beliefs and practices. In the completion phase, the
owner of the house will clear the area and landscape the surroundings. The two
other phases are clearing phase and occupancy Phase.
IV. The Advantages and Disadvantages of the Design/Methods in Building Constructions.
Advantages.
1. The materials used are affordable and locally available in the area,
like the bamboo, patong , posog, any wood, or lomboy wood, “paod” or pawid ,
and kugon or talahib.
2. Light materials help maintain humidity and reduce heat.
3. The design is esthetically presentable, stable and durable for century.
4. The unusual wide windows provides proper ventilation. Spacious
rooms, kitchen and “salas” or living areas, “palayas” provide good ambiance.
5. The design is simple to construct and low cost.
6. The design is stable to the test of times and natural phenomenon.
Disadvantages.
1. The house design is prone to termites. It requires yearly
maintenance and its stability when there is strong wind is risky and unstable.
HOLY TRINITY UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL
2. During rainy season the occupants need shelter to go to their
kitchen. Since it is separated from their main house.
3. The height of the Cuyonon houses makes the house unstable
when there is strong wind.
4. Proper finishing is required to maintain the aesthetics of the house.
5. The old family members will find the height of house difficult to go up.
6. The native materials can cause fire hazards and termite attack.
V-A. The Extent beliefs and practices in constructing a house are still observed by the Cuyonon when grouped according to age, gender, economic status, and educational attainment.

VI. Educational considerations based on the findings of the study
These beliefs that are practiced by the Cuyonon are good sources of
topics for discussions and lectures that could be integrated in appropriate
courses of study of civil engineering in selected major and minor courses.
Developing instructional tools like innovative model of Civil Engineering
curriculum, course outline, curriculum pacing guide. The beliefs and practices
about building construction and the researcher’s commends and explanations
regarding the existing beliefs and practices of the Cuyonon about building
construction in relation to engeneering theories and principles could benefits
other researcher who works on.
Conclusion
From the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. Cuyonon believe in the unseen spirits, whom they call “ sinilig i’
