The Ivatan Culture

  
 MAYHURAHED. A house similar to the jinjin but has a stone base between the ground and the cogon wall called hurrahed. This type of Ivatan house is called mayhurahed (having a hurahed). If not used as dwelling, it functions as storeroom for farm produce, farming and fishing tools or implements. Like the jinjin, this type is now chiefly found in the farms and few in the poblacion in the remotes barangays of Sabtang, Itbayat and in Sitio Diura (or the Fishermen’s Village) in Mahatao.
