The typical toilet of the slum house in the Looban.
Human excrements drop directly to the river below.
In the Looban, chismis (gossip) is a social activity of the women (although men also sometimes engaged in it). Idle afternoons, when household chores are already done, are often the times when the chismis session begins. Topics are varied i.e., the pregnancy of a teen-age neighbor, the mistress of a male neighbor, etc. Chismis often leads to verbal tussles among the women folks.
Kids play the popular Filipino game Tumbang Preso.
Public bathing is considered a socially acceptable activity in the Looban.
