HOLIDAYS in the PHILIPPINES
The jeepney is an icon of the modern Philippines and is a backbone of urban and inter urban transport in many places from Manila to Laoag. This post-war piece of innovation was inspired by the American GI jeeps that came to the Philippines in the 1940s.
The Filipinos are a very enterprising lot of people so they salvaged the surplus jeeps and the engines and soon came out with a whole new vehicle, almost like a Discovery Channel chop and change project. Each Jeepney is unique and many are simply moving works of art not to mention a way of making a living
If you want to travel short distances nothing is cheaper than the tricycle which is a motorcycle with a sidecar, and there is the pedicab which is a bicycle with a sidecar. In some northern cities such as Vigan and Laoag City you can still use a kalesa or karitela to get about. These are a horse and carriage that were originally introduced during the 18th century for carrying the wealthy Spanish officials and rich Filipinos, these days a cheap and much slower way to sight see and get about.
