kalesa
A kalesa (also ''caritela/karitela'') is a horse-drawn calash used in the Philippines. It was one mode of transportation introduced to the islands in the 18th century by Spanish colonizers, and was initially reserved for only nobles and high-ranking civic officials.〔(Kalesa, the 18th Centuries Rolls Royce. ) Philippines Travel Guide for the explorer in you.〕 These are today rarely used in the streets except in the tourist areas of old cities and some rural areas.
Composer Ambrosio Del Rosario composed the original music and National Artist of the Philippines Levi Celério wrote the lyrics for a song entitled ''Kalesa'', in honour of the vehicle.〔(Kalesa - Video Watch, watch Youtube video, download Youtube video. )〕
== Etymology ==
The word, also spelt ''calesa'' as in the original Spanish, is related to the terms ''calèche'' and was already in Spain prior to its colonisation of the islands. The term ultimately descends from an Old Church Slavonic word meaning "wheels."
