Savidug Village
Most houses in villages in Sabtang Island are still stone houses, Savidug Village is just one of them.
We had a chance to get inside this stone house. This is a famous spot for picture taking.
There is a lot of destroyed stone houses in Sabtang Island, that’s why the government started to renovate some of them. The construction started in Savidug Village.
White Limestone are used to build the stone houses. Over time, these white Limestone changes color, it becomes grayish due to some elements like the weather.
Ever wonder how thick are the roofs of the stone houses are? Here it is, we used Busy’s hand for scale. We do not have a ruler in our trip 😆
His hands are around 6-7 inches, so it measures around 3 hands haha, around 20-25 inches thick!
St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel
Every village usually has their own church, here is the church in Savidug Village.
It is small and simple on the inside.
