EN: lean-to, shed, awning
That extra roof you see attached to the side of a house, usually over the 'bangerahan' (dish-drying rack) or where the 'labahan' (laundry area) is. It's the original house extension before people started building whole new rooms. It protects you from the sun and rain while you're gossiping with the neighbor. In the city, it's the makeshift roof of a sari-sari store.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *səbi, meaning eaves or extension of a roof.
A common architectural term in the Philippines, especially for traditional and rural houses.
