  • A calesa, sometimes called a karitela, is a horse-driven carriage used in the Philippines. This was one of the modes of transportation introduced in the Philippines in the 18th century by the Spanish - at the time only nobles and high ranked officials could afford. They are rarely used in the streets nowadays except rural areas and especially in Vigan where they are still a common form of transportation.
