Description
Traveling Handicraft StoreOne of the Philippine Remarkable icon since Spanish domination, the original animal pulling the cart is Water Buffalo (Carabao) or Cow.... then later on they replace it on Horse coz it moves faster and can resist long distance travels.
I interview before the vendor/driver( what else) where he came from.... he said, he was from Ilocos ( North of Luzon ) then travel for a weeks or months until he reached Camarines Sur ( South Luzon ). travel a 100 miles before go back home to make handicrafts and travel again. "Life is fun with full of adventure and travel" he said to me.
I chased this caravan this morning went to my work.... i don't care if i'm late
... this kinda view is so rare now to see, now i share it to you

This tradition is originated in Pangasinan from the Interior Area of Pangasinan o kung tawagin ay Luyag ng Caboloan which is now San Carlos City as the origin place. They need your support to save this tradition, this is a Pre-Hispanic tradtion that they wanted to maintain for new generation to see. They need your support to buy the handicraft materials that they are selling so that they will continue. Too many people use plastic wares na kasi and also the influence of Shopping Malls as their competitors and at least you'll help your fellow kababayan to earn for their living.

You got point on it... Hmmnnn The horse had enough strength to pull that cart (thanks for the wheel).. and he was carefully pampered by the owner. of course he need to care bcoz if the horse died, he can't return on his town with the cart

The owner probably loves his horse, like I said it looks pretty healthy,well cared for.

Yes, we have a lots them, which are used on all sort of services, often degrading ones. Many them are mistreated, without food or water... A real scandal, quite revolting, but our environmental authorities have been trying to fight this.
What struck me in the photo was the extension of the caravan, and their context, natural and picturesque, funny and sad at the same time.

Hmmnn... you had a point, why the horse pulling that thing if there's a vehicle. ... I think many of phil. places still living on a old culture and he's one of them. and he saved money for gasoline, auto-repair, air pollution etc. ....and some reason he was pleasing on the eye of buyers (maybe

Sa Pangasinan sila galing. I knew because I came from Pangasinan, this is the tradition of Caboloan. this is a Pre-Hispanic tradition of trade and commerce long way back, to maintain this tradition i encourage everyone to support and buy their products to save the culture and tradition of our fellow Kababayan, the culture of the Filipinos. They usually called them 'Viajeros'
