Bakya is a type of shoe that people used to wear a long time ago, especially in the Philippines. It's made of wood and looks like a slipper or a clog. The bottom part of the shoe is flat and has a little heel. The top part of the shoe is made of straps or pieces of cloth that hold your foot in place. When you wear bakya, your toes and the top part of your foot are exposed.
People used to wear bakya when they went outside, especially when they were doing chores or walking on dirt roads. The shoes were easy to slip on and off and protected people's feet from sharp objects or muddy ground.
In modern times, bakya is not as commonly worn as before, but some people still wear them for traditional or cultural reasons. They are also sometimes used as decoration, such as for folk dances or festivals.
