Imposible naman ata yung tutulo ang tubig, na walang leak kung saan man. Ganun ba kalakas mag-absorb ng tubig ang gypsum/magnesium board?

For houses in the Philippines, it is best to use a fiber cement board instead of gypsum boards. OK lang yan pag condo unit or multi-level na building, but still cost wise and maintenance wise mas cheaper ang Fiber Cement board (popular brand is Hardiflex).

Ako, the houses I built especially in the provinces, I use fiber cement board, water resistant pa....
