When you've washed your clothes they have to be hung out to dry somewhere. The best way is to hang them on a line in the sun but a line isn't always available which is what leads to the vaunted Filipino creativity. This is the same creativity that gave us tanks plated with wood armor to protect them from RPGs during the Marawi siege. Necessity is the mother of invention, they say.
A tree is not such a bad place to hang your clothes out to dry. A few hours in the sun and it will be harvest time for this strange fruit.
If a tree is not readily available then perhaps the next best thing is some grass.
Like an egg these mats will have to be flipped after one side has been heated enough. Thats actually problematic because you really want your clothes to have room to breathe so the air can dry them on all sides. Not to mention all the dirt and dry dog piss that is certainly in that grass. That's why a wall might be a better place to hang them out to dry. Admittedly a wall is not the optimal place to hang your clothes because you still don't get the proper air flow.
There is no bird in that rooster hut and good thing. He might not appreciate his house being used to dry the laundry. He might foul them up!
Laying your clothes out on the roof might not be a good idea either because, like the wall, there is no room for them to breathe and dry out. It's just as bad as tossing them on the bushes.
But you have to work with what you got. Even if it is just a roof. Or a car.
Whoever thought a car could also function as a laundry dryer? That's the genius of Filipino creativity. They can look at an object, imagine all the possibilities it holds, and then actuate all those possibilities. Bricolage construction is a way of life in the Philippines and it separates the Filipino mind from all the rest of mankind. Like, have you ever considered using an old dirty refrigerator as a pond to breed your fish?
No, you say? Well, that's your problem bud. Start thinking outside the box and get creative like a Filipino. Embrace the art of bricolage.
