About KapitBisig.com
The word Kapit-bisig
is a Filipino term which means to hold together as one for the main purpose of achieving a common goal.
The logo symbolizes kapit-bisig
and bayanihan
, a unique Philippine tradition. It resembles the common custom in Philippine barrios
during the olden times (when materials for building houses called nipa hut
were made of light items like bamboo and sawali), and the community members volunteer to help a family move their nipa hut. This is done by literally carrying the house to its new location.
The colors used in the logo were inspired from the colors prominent in the Philippine flag: red, blue, white and yellow.
