[11] Ikalahan houses, traditionally made for one nuclear family, have reeds (pal-ot) or cogon (gulon) for roofs, barks or slabs of trees for the walls, and palm strips (balagnot) for the floor.

The houses are traditionally rectangular and raised from the ground 3–5 feet, with one main room for general activities and one window and door.

Two stone stoves are on a hearth, one cooks meals for the pigs in a copper cauldron (gambang), the other for the household.

Shelves (pagyay) keep household utensils, including wooden bowls (duyo) and camote trays (ballikan or tallaka) made of rattan.

Camote peelings (dahdah) or rejects (padiw) are fed to the pigs, which are herded under the living area or in a sty near the house.

They also use a native guitar, or galdang, and a vibrating instrument called the pakgong played by striking, besides the Jew's harp (Ko-ling).

[11] For clothing, Ikalahan men wear a loincloth or G-string (kubal), and carry backpacks (akbot) made out of deer hide.
