    #Kalabaw (Carabao with or without Sled)

    Philippines being an archipelagic nation, composed of 7,000+ islands, you could have imagine the vast transportation methods it offers! From air, road, rail and water transport. There are on-going massive improvements on the Transportation industry in the Philippines following the Build! Build! Build! Infrastructure Program (BBB) of the government lead by former President Rodrigo Duterte.

    Pieces of Mama E
    Despite the promise of modernization there are amazing one of its kind transportation in the Philippines especially on the rural areas. The elderly said " You haven’t truly experienced Pinoy culture if you haven’t tried out atleast one of these modes of transportation: Jeepney, Tricycle, Pedicab, Kalesa, Roro, Habal-Habal, Railroad Kariton, at Kalabaw. I can say have tried most of them except Roro and Railroad Kariton.

    Being a #Farmersdaughter the #Kalabaw (Carabao) is mostly used in our area for transporting harvested sacks of rice from the rice fields to the storage area which is called "Kamalig" or "Bodega". I remember my childhood days when we sit on top of the sacks of rice as the Kalabaw pulls the Kariton!

  • KALESA, as the primary mode of transportation, were introduced by the Spaniards sometime 1700s during the Spanish colonial era of the Philippines. These are carriages being drawn by a horse and can usually carry two passengers and the driver commonly called "Kutsero."
    Use of kalesas declined in the mid-20th century and now they had been already phased out but still exists only as part of tourist attractions. These literally horse-powered had been taken over by motorized jeepneys and tricycles which i will share with you later.
    Riding the kalesa is a very fun experience. As you hear the "tak tak tak tak" sound of the horse shoe hitting the paved road, the kutsero usually shares amusing passed on stories of all sorts which had been termed as "Kwentong Kutsero." While a couple might be true, beware, some are exaggerated and some are hearsays. Haha.

  • I have no idea if there are other countries with this kind of public utility transport.
    Here in the Philippines we call them Jeepneys. These were U.S. miltary jeeps and Willys left in the country after world war 2 and later modified to accommodate more passengers.

  • While me and Dylan were playing at his newbuilt #hotwheels track I noticed that one of the cars looks familiar! ????????
    It looks like Philippine #Jeepney (dyeep-nee)
    Jeepneys are minibus-like public utility vehicles, serving as the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. They are known for their crowded seating and kitsch decorations, which have become a widespread symbol of Philippine culture and art.
    Have you ever ride a jeepney before? or what's your local transportation like?
