1. Choice in Lot
(Old Cebuanos) forbid building houses near caves.
Don’t build houses over the site of newly cut tree to avoid bad
luck.
Younger siblings should not build houses between the residences
of their older sister/brothers to prevent family quarrels.
(Old Folks of Batangas) forbids siblings to build on a lot in front
of their parents.
2. Building a House
Batangas builders avoid commencing from the first to the
fifteenth of the month.
Monday is a lucky day to give workmen’s salaries.
(Old Folks in Bulacan) caution us from starting
construction while a family member is sick or pregnant.
It is best to start construction in full moon. Excavation
should only start “kung kailan pabilog ang buwan”.
3. Moving In
Four o’clock in the morning is the luckiest time to move in, before the
sun is out.
In Batangas, when a couple or family decides to transfer they get
permission to their parent’s but don’t tell the exact date when they will
transfer.
In Bicol, quarrelling is forbidden in the first date of transfer and taking
a nap is also forbidden.
The line up as to what should be the first to put inside the house. In
Butuan and Batangas, tradition dictates that the first thing to bring
inside the new house are jar full of salt, a banga filled with portable
water and a full of box of matches.
