M27: Itik-itik Postcard

This is a 3D postcard that shows the Philippine dance called "Itik-Itik." The Itik-Itik dance is popular among the Visayan settlers of the province of Surigao del Norte. Its steps are similar to the movements of a duck (itik in Filipino), as it walks with short, choppy steps and splashes water on its back while attracting its mate.

The back of the postcard reads:

This dance depicts the movement of the duck as it walks and plays in the water while calling for its mate. it is popular among the settlers of Surigao Province.
(By the FILIPINESCAS: Philippine Life, Legend and Love in Dance.)

I found out that the Filipinescas Dance Troupe is a 38-man dance group that toured Europe during the 1960s. The tour is entitled Filipinescas: Philippine Life, Legend, and Lore in Dance (not Love in Dance as read in the postcard), a stage presentation depicting Philippine life and its rich cultural traditions.

M24: Calesa Postcard

This is a 3D postcard that shows the kalesa or calesa or karitela. The calesa is a horse-driven carriage used in the Philippines and was one of the modes of transportation in the Philippines that was introduced by the Spaniards in the 18th century that only nobles and high ranked officials could afford. They are rarely used in the streets nowadays except in tourist spots (Vigan, Intramuros, etc.).

M24: Calesa Postcard

The back of the postcard reads:

Calesa - With a lady passenger in Filipina dress at Fort Santiago, Manila, Philippines

However, if you look closer, the calesa does not have any passenger behind the driver. The ruins behind the calesa is part of the Jose Rizal Shrine in Fort Santiago.
