Interviewer instructions

Encircle the code which indicates the type of construction materials of the roof of the house. If you can classify the roof of the house by observation, do not ask this question anymore. Strong materials include galvanized iron/aluminum, tile, concrete, brick, stone and asbestos. Cogon/nipa and anahaw are considered as light materials. Examples of salvaged/makeshift materials for building use are scrap GI sheets and planks of wood or pieces of “lawanit” dilapidated boxes, etc. which are usually salvaged from a burnt or condemned structure.

If, for example, the roof is made of a combination of the three types of materials stated above, encircle either (4), (5) or (6) depending on the most predominant materials used.
