Reason#24 One-horsepower Vehicle

Kalesa
High-end kalesa at Intramuros
Nice to know:

The horse-drawn kalesa remains iconic after all these centuries. After all, it is still the Philippine national vehicle (nope, not the jeepney). But is quickly becoming extinct, because of short-distance transportation alternatives like pedicabs and, um, walking.

Still common in Binondo and Intramuros. If you happen to know where else we can find a kalesa, please share your knowledge by using the comment box.

Why it's in the list:

Excellent vantage point when going on tours. Check out those 40-inch tires!
