I was amused to see the old things. As a child, I did watch tribal Filipinos cook in the pugon, or oven, made of bricks. Or three rocks in a triangle, for the cooking of the rice and the soup/
There is a well, where one literally has to pump for water,
If I were to pick a time and age when I would have wanted to be a part of, I would have chosen this time when the order of the day for men is hunt for venison, and for the women to simmer the stew.

Yes, when I am old, I would wish to dwell in Dalton Pass and use these age-old living amenities.

I love these manual cooking stoves, too. Primitive but exciting, I like blowing tubes to set fire, Ha ha

In those days, life is simpler. Unsofisticated but people are happy.

I prefer those antiquated but serene existence, too, but I am not complaining with my life now. That time can exist in our minds. I dwell on it sometimes.

@jrlcentral The old houses in the countryside might still have these original pugon. Many ancestral homes had been transformed into restaurants, Research is an exciting thing. Will ask around, too,

@eileenleyva I'm looking for a pure ceramic "pugon". What I see here are made of cement. Ceramic clay, like in the old days can withstand the heat much longer than concrete.
