Madame Gigi.
Every day, I visit the site in the morning, noon, and evening to check on the progress and go to buy any missing materials.
This person is an electrician.
Lily's dad also had experience in electrical work when he was younger, so he drew up all the electrical wiring diagrams and gave them to this person.
The electrical outlets in every room are wired to two systems: 230V in the Philippines and 100V in Japan.
Therefore, we prepared six transformers.
Additionally, LAN and TV wiring will be routed to the necessary rooms.
We also ensure that key lighting fixtures are backed up by UPS (uninterruptible power supply) devices.
Even though we didn't always speak the same language, we were both engineers. We were able to have a proper meeting while looking at the drawings.
This is Sir Subrabas, our neighbor across the street.
Until December of last year, he was the chief of the Osamis Police Station, and he always calls me Mr. Kouichi and gives me lots of advice.
When I went to Cebu, this person drove me to and from the port, and the police officers at key locations saluted me as they passed through.
This person's siblings and relatives all hold important positions, Gigi says 'Everyone will support you.'
Now, the blockwork for the house is finished, and concrete is being poured onto the top.
The steel frame that will form the roof will be erected on top of this.
Sand, cement, and even gravel are transported by hand like this.
By the way, there are 28 carpenters and helpers working there.
The weekly wages for 28 people were 50,000 pesos (100,000 yen).
Approximately 1800 pesos per person
Even Subrabas, who was mentioned earlier, was surprised by the number of people.
It seems unavoidable in order to complete the project within a three-month timeframe.
His younger brothers, Jundrey and Nonoi, are also working under Gigi's direction, doing site inspections and helping out the carpenters.
Even the sand sieves are made on the spot by simply buying the mesh.
Inside the house, pipes for electrical wiring are embedded, and then concrete is poured over them.
This room is a children's bedroom.
The pipes are embedded like this, but I'm still a little worried because I don't know the final thickness of the wall.
Even without that, the pipes are embedded by cutting into fragile blocks, so are they going to cut into the electrical outlet boxes as well?
