The kalesa is a horse-drawn carriage on two wheels, which was a major means of transportation in many parts of the Philippines during the Spanish Era. Today, although common in Intramuros, Binondo and Vigan, the kalesa has become uncommon. 

 BATANGAS FRUIT VENDOR

This is a fruit stand that you will find when you go to to Batangas. Seeing this I remember that life should be simple and not complicated.. Look at the delicious fruits they are selling, wow yummy..

 GARBAGE COLLECTOR

They are garbage collectors in the Philippines. As I look at them, my tears fell for joy. Why? Because maybe we can consider that they have no other jobs than that but the fact that they are continue living their life even in the times of hardships and difficulties. Many people just always complain about their miserable life but if we can just give a little smile like them we can be happy as well..

ILOCOS ROCK FORMATION

People say the Kapurpurawan rock formation has been shaped by the tide, or maybe by soil sedimentation as a result of steady commune with nature.  Once on top of the rocks, tourists will likewise be amazed by the beauty of the entire surrounding, as the South China Sea merges with the coral shoreline of Burgos.

OLONGAPO

Olongapo is a highly urbanized city located in the province of Zambales, Philippines..

According to popular legend, there once was a group of warring tribes who lived in the area in and around what is now the modern city. A wise old man, seeing the perils of disunity, exerted great effort toward uniting the warring tribes. There were, however, some who bitterly opposed his idea, and one day the old man just disappeared.
After a long search, the old man's body was found, but with the head missing. It is said that the tribesmen launched search parties to locate the severed head of the man. (To the Sambal, decapitation was the only permissible form of assassination.) These efforts proved to be futile, and the search was eventually called off. A boy, however, vowed to himself that he would not stop searching until he found the elder’s head. He searched for weeks, but found nothing. Then, one day, he chanced upon what appeared to be the old man’s head, resting on top of a bamboo pole. The boy ran back to his people crying, “Olo nin apo! Olo nin apo!” (“head of the elder” in Sambal translates as “ulo ng apo” in Tagalog), running hysterically from village to village. The phrase stuck, and that, according to legend, is how the area got its name, Olongapo. To this day, the old man’s head acts as a symbol of the unity of the people of what is now a modern city.
