| Isabela Farmers on a Kuliglig |
It was so lucky of me to chance upon a group of farmers on a new year's day coming from the farm. I do not know exactly what they have in their carriage and what it was for, but the carriage they are on is something typical that farmers use around here. It is called kuliglig, a two-wheeled mini trailer pulled by a hand tractor.
They are commonly found in northern Philippines. There are no regulations that I know of regarding the use of these machines, so there are a lot of them. Some even use them as mode of transport in lieu of a car or a tricycle. Apparently, it can carry more passengers.
I haven't tried driving one myself, but they said that it is not easy to maneuver it because of its primitive steering. To be able to make a sharp turn, the driver needs to get off and walk it around and then jump back on.
