A kalesa or calesa (sometimes called a karitela) is a horse drawn calash (carriage) used in the Philippines. The word, also spelled calesa, predates the Spanish conquest and descends ultimately from an Old Church Slavonic word meaning “wheels.” 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.They are rarely used in the streets nowadays except in tourist spots and some rural areas. The Kalesa driver is commonly called as “Cochero” or “Kutsero”. When “Cochero” direct the horse to turn right he says “mano” and he says “silla” to direct the horse to turn left.
Isang pulubing nakaupo sa Carriedo Fountain, harap ng Santa Cruz Church. The Carriedo Fountain found in Plaza Sta. Cruz, Manila was built in 1882 to honor “Manila’s greatest benefactor” Francisco Carriedo y Pedero who donated Php 10,000 to install the very first water system in Manila. The fountain originally stood in Rotonda de Sampaloc until it was transferred to its present site in 1978. After some time, the authorities had the fountain brought to Quezon City when the MWSS’s main office was transferred from Arroceros to Balara. However, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim negotiated with MWSS Administrator Luis Sison for the fountain to be brought back to Manila. The MWSS immediately commissioned national artist Napoleon Abueva to create a replica of the Carriedo Fountain to replace the original structure which now stands in its original home in Sta. Cruz. | Source: http://en.wikipilipinas.org
