streets known as Calle Crisologo. These old Spanish-type houses have huge, high-
pitched roofs, large and rectangular living rooms that are made of adobe, bricks,
lime, terracotta, hardwood floors, and windows of capiz shells framed in wooden
window panels.

waves of the sea. They believe that this design protects
them from bad spirits.

bravery and one’s status in the community.
The design consists of geometric patterns and
lines. Wang-od is the last “mambabatok” or
traditional Kalinga tattoo artist. She uses a
