| | On Distant Shore: The Kalesa |
 | | I love the kalesas, and would love to ride beside the kutsero again, and listen to his never-ending tales (remember the term kwentong kutsero?), but not in Metro Manila. |
 | | The kalesa must now move back to remote barrios, where the folk need not worry about being late for appointment or work, where the kutsero can still lord it over the dusty road. |
 | | And to give hopeless romantics a taste of nostalgia every once in a while, kalesas should be allowed to roam the old Intramuros, where tourists will be thrilled to experience riding in that centuries-old mode of transportation while basking in the historic beauty of the Walled City. |
