“The electrification of the automobile is inevitable.” – Bob Lutz, VC, General Motors

An electric car is powered by an electric motor instead of a gasoline engine. The electric car is also known as electric vehicle or EV. It uses energy stored in its rechargeable batteries, which are recharged by common household electricity.

Think GREEN and consider electric cars to reduce our collective carbon footprint.

The Philippine ‘Calesa’

Philippine ‘Calesa’ or “Kalesa” (sometimes called a karitela) is a carriage being pulled by a horse. This was one of the modes of transportation introduced in the Philippines in the 18th century by the Spaniards that only nobles and high ranked officials could afford. Philippine ‘Calesa’ considered as one of the oldest mode of transportaion in our country, of which our ancestors love to ride viewing the beautiful scenic spots.

Calesa flourished most to Big Spanish Cities before, such as  Ciudad de Cebú (Cebu, 1571), Manila, Nueva Segovia (Lal-lo, year 1595), La Ciudad de Cáceres (Naga,year 1575). The Kalesas can also be found in Intramuros and Binondo in the city of Manila and also in Iligan City, which has a street where decorated kalesas can be taken for a ride. In Cagayan, kalesas are common, especially in Tuao and many other municipalities. In Tuguegarao City, they are mixed in traffic with private cars, motorcycles, sidecar motorcycles, jeepneys, trucks, and bicycles.

The “Calesa” is designed with Filipino style decorated with some Philippine stuffs and painted with some of the Philippine beautiful scenery. It consist of wooden cart or carriage and a single or couple of horse/s. A kalesa looks like an inclined cart. It has two round wheels on each side and two rows of seats that can accommodate four persons. The driver sits on a block of wood located at the front of the cart near the horse.

The driver is commonly called as “Cochero” or “Kutsero“, driving  without license. My grandfather is a former Kalesa driver, he who introduces and let me experience the life riding on the ‘Calesa’ on my childhood days. I often see him with “sumbrero” or hat, t-shirt, and long pants. He also reins the horse with some words, when he direct the horse to turn right he say “mano” and he say “silla” to direct the horse to turn left.

Today, our Philippine ‘Calesa’ still survives despite of the fact that our cities and municipalities are flocked with steel auto cars.

The  ‘Calesa’ Business

Calesa is for short distance passenger service. Due to its low speed, the calesa is a favored mode for sightseeing in selected tourist destinations. Today cost of  Calesa ordinary ride fare in Tuguegaro city is 9 pesos, while at Manila going rate for a kalesa trip is P250 and in Vigan CALESA TOUR PACKAGE  cost Php 500/head for adults and Php 300/head for students. Many times Kalesa are hired for the transport of bamboos, cavans of rice and other heavy products for commercial use.

The calesa owner usually bring home an income ranging 200 to 500 pesos daily. Cocheros fed their horses from free grasses in the fields or cheap “darak” or rice bran.
