A kalesa (Tagalog) 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 authorities.

Jeepneys (Filipino: Dyipni) or jeeps are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines, and are known for their crowded seating and kitsch decorations, which have become a wide spread symbol of Philippine culture and art.
