Music Box Tricycle @Cauayan, Isabela

clean and new tricycle with big speaker as backrest at Cauayan City Isabela
Amazing how Filipinos can play around with what they have and what they like! Let's scrutinize this thing... its a tricycle yes, and brand new at that. You can even 'smell' its "newness" just by looking at it, right?!

Look, the owner/driver is even calling out for passengers to ride in his vehicle. So its a legit mode of commuter transport! And fresh from the oven hahaha!

What drew me to it was that entire backrest of the passenger cab. Yes, the black thing. It is in itself, by itself, an entire "baffle" or "loud speaker" or "music box" howsoever you might want to call it! It was playing loud music when I happened to pass by, that my entire rib-cage was vibrating! Mr. Driver had to lower the volume when I talked to him!

If you look closely, there are even stuffed toys on the box. And I think that other black thing behind the cute furry toys is even an amplifier or mixer whatever. And that's you entire sandalan if you were a passenger hehehe!

Imagine you're riding on this thing... In front of your legs would be this...

Another set of speakers! This should have been my ride to Callao Caves yesterday!

And, at the driver's forehead, is the "control panel" hehehe

Ano laban ka?! The works 'no?!

Grabe! I mean I like it. But I can't imagine if and when the whole city becomes soon flooded with such a "fully loaded" vehicle... OMG... it'll be crazy the entire populace could be dancing while commuting! Then again... noise pollution yan.

Oh, I took a video of this thing, although the driver lowered the music volume as I did so. I'll try posting that video here anyway, soon as I have enough time.

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Balantak Falls

Image
I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

THE Ride from Tuguegarao to Sta. Ana

Image
Alrightee folks! I traveled from Tuguegarao to the northern-most town of Cagayan Valley, that is, Sta. Ana. And, Oh My Gee! I never expected this "mode" of transportation! It was a van, yes. The type and style that we call "UV Express" all over the country. But not the usual that I have seen, even in the more remote areas of the Visayas and Mindanao. This ride was on a piece of "flying junk" hahaha! It started like this... the night before I check-out at Hotel Roma, I asked the friendly front desk staff if there was a better way to go to Sta. Ana. than riding the bus. The very helpful suggestion was, I ride the vans instead of the bus, because, they are purportedly faster and more comfortable. Okay, I thought I would do just that. Staff even told me to remind them during check-out that I'm taking a UV Express commute to Sta. Ana. I did just that. The eager staff went out with me to front of the hotel. He hailed a trike for me and gave instructions t
