ARTIFACTS OF KALESA
 WHAT IS "KALESA"?
The kalesa, one of the nation's earliest forms of
transportation, has evolved into a
representation of Filipino cultural history and a
well-liked tourist attraction. The National
Museum, Roxas Boulevard, and other well-
known tourist attractions are frequently
nearby where they are situated. In the
province of Cagayan, notably in Tuguegarao
and the other municipalities, kalesas are well-
liked.
ARTIFACTS OF BULUL / BULOL
 WHAT IS "BULOL"?

The Bulul, or Ifugao figurative

sculptures, are the most prevalent
and well-known and often depict
either a standing or a sitting figure.
They are made from a single piece
of wood and typically depict the
human form in a stylized and
geometric way.
ARTIFACTS OF MALONG
 WHAT IS "MALONG"?
The malong is a traditional Filipino-
Bangsamoro rectangular or tube-like
wraparound skirt bearing a variety of
geometric or okir designs. The malong is
traditionally used as a garment by both
men and women of the numerous ethnic
groups in the mainland Mindanao and
parts of the Sulu Archipelago.
SOCIOFACT ABOUT THE
KALESA
Horse-drawn Carriage or famously known as
"Kalesa" has become a popular tourist
attractions here in the Philippines. A lot of
tourists from various nations come here solely
to see and experience the Kalesa. Kalesa is one
of the first modes of transportation in the
Philippines and has become a Filipino cultural
heritage. In our today's society 'Kalesa' is
preserved in some areas of the Philippines,
particularly San Fernando, Pampanga, Vigan
and Laoag. The kalesa has changed over time
in terms of appearance, length, and passenger
capacity. Now, the carriage has become more
aesthetically pleasing, as it's mainly used to
attract tourists.
SOCIOFACT ABOUT THE
BULUL / BULOL
The bulul is a carved wooden statue that the
Ifugao people of Northern Luzon used to guard
their rice crop. They are carved from a single
piece of wood and depict humans with very
unrealistic features. These bulul are supposed to
represent the ancestors of the Ifugaos, and the
people supposedly gain power from the presence
of ancestral spirits within them. The statues have
the figures either standing or sitting down, and
the male and female statues are usually found
next to each other. They each have sex-related
symbols: the mortar for the female and the
pestle for the male. Among the different types of
Ifugao figurative sculptures, the bulul are the
most known and are the most abundant.
SOCIOFACT ABOUT THE
MALONG
Malong functions as a cloth of life in the
Filipino-Muslim culture. A newborn is
wrapped in a malong, and, as the child grows
older, this piece of cloth becomes a part of
daily life. In death, the lifeless body is once
again wrapped in this significant piece.
MENTIFACTS OF KALESA •
• Kalesa (from the Spanish word calesa) were first
introduced to the Philippines in the 1700s by the
Spanish. It became the major public and private
form of transport in the Philippines up until the early
20th century. They were manufactured by traditional
workshops known as karoserya. Use of the kalesa
declined in the mid-20th century, when mass public
transportation was largely taken over by motorized
jeepneys and tricycle. Pressure to phase out kalesas
began in the 1940s when the 7000 or so kalesas still
operating in Manila started holding up motorized
traffic. Kalesa in modern times are largely only used
as tourist attractions. They are still preserved in
some areas of the Philippines. The colorful
decorations of the kalesa was also inherited by the
post-World war ll jeepney (which were known as
"auto calesa" from the 1910s to the 1940s). The
legacy of the kalesa is also evident in the horse hood
ornament of most jeepneys.
MENTIFACTS OF BULULS •
• The artifact Bul-ul is unique among Ifugao
sculptures and is not to be taken lightly. It is
something that is very important to Ifugao rice
farming, especially while the palay harvest is
being protected within the granary or Ifugao
home. Because it is believed that the spirits of
their deceased ancestors reside on the figure
bul-ul, it is given a great deal of respect and
adulation. If the figure isn't treated with
respect and humility, the spirits may respond
by acting in an unfavorable hostile manner.
Pestilence and sickness may be perceived as a
sign of Gods' dissatisfaction. The Ifugao people
are pagans who revere natural spirits and gods
and honor their ancestors. The gods of rice are
especially revered.
MENTIFACTS OF MALONG •
• Two styles of wearing a malong Dancers
performing the kapa malong malong, a
traditional Maranao dance featuring the uses of
the malong
• What are the message of malong Malong
functions as a cloth of life in the Filipino-Muslim
culture. A newborn is wrapped in a malong, and,
as the child grows older, this piece of cloth
becomes a part of daily life. In death, the lifeless
body is once again wrapped in this significant
piece.
• What does malong symbolize? Used by the
young and old, the rich and poor, from cradle to
crypt, the malong is a symbol of Maranao
culture, deserving encouragement and support
from both government and the Maranao
community.
 EDUCATIONAL IMPACT OF
KALESA
The educational impact of kalesa is one of the most widely-used modes to
ferry people and produce in the 18th century. Kalesa is an influence at the
time of the Spanish era, eventually becoming part of the Filipino cultural
heritage. Things have changed a bit since then, because it became a mode of
tourist transportation and now, the kalesa has more decorative features, as is
mainly used to attract tourists and commonly used carrying tourists around
historical attractions in Intramuros. Kalesa in modern times are largely only
used as tourist attractions. They are still preserved in some areas of the
Philippines, such as in San Fernando, Pampanga, Vigan and Laoag. especially
kalesa can also be found in Intramuros, where they cater to tourists. Kalesa
and it's role in our country’s history or even it's economic impact at some
point in time it will benefit the revitalization of the Kalesa's tourism
attractiveness to help the livelihood of our kababayan and ultimately to
promote the country’s tourism as a whole.
 EDUCATIONAL IMPACT OF
BULUL
Ifugao believes that bulul sculptures are the representations of
their ancestors. They love how Ifugao values their cultures,
beliefs and tranditions. All tourist shops in Baguio City carry
souvenir items including Bulul sculpture. As a tourism student,
we can share some trivias about bulul to others especially to
the tourist who are interest in Filipino culture.

 EDUCATIONAL IMPACT OF
MALONG

As both weavers and enthusiasts alike continue to carry on the

rich legacy of one of the Philippines’ most illustrious
garments, the malong endures versatile and beautiful example
of Philippine tradition and artistry. Filipino artistry and
creativity are evident in various art forms but what makes the
weaving culture distinct is its power to unite people as strong,
resilient communities bound by living tradition and colourful
textile patterns and motifs.
