Description[edit | edit source]
The complex of 20 houses was enclosed by a picturesque fence of laced bamboo. The Visayans lived just as like they were in their homes in the islands. They were friendly, highly intelligent and operated a market which contained many beautiful articles and fabrics, including: Jusi, Pina and Sinimay cloth, the making of embroidery, hats, mats, canes, etc. Pineapple fibers that were weaved into silk-like cloths dazzled the visitors. Wood-carving were also showcased. The village was 4 acres in size.
