The
origin of the term bayanihan can be traced from a common
tradition
in Philippine towns where community members volunteer
to help a family move to a new place by volunteering to transport the house to
a specific location. The process involves literally carrying the house to its
new location. This is done by putting bamboo poles forming a strong frame to
lift the stilts from the ground and carrying the whole house with the men
positioned at the ends of each pole. The tradition also features a small fiesta hosted by the family to express gratitude to the
volunteers.
