Bizarre Vehicles in the Philippines

Vehicles are important in transporting goods.

As everyone was passing along the highway everything seemed normal except one unconventional tricycle. Its roof was made of old ripped floormat which was supported by wood and bamboo stick that were attached to the rusty framework of the sidecar. I found out that it was used for carrying trash materials bought from different houses to be sold to the junk shop. Besides, this tricycle was used to carry his entire family; his wife and the five children toward a bakery for an afternoon snack after a perspiring work. He was indeed a very resourceful person in spite of economic crisis.

Another uncommon and despised vehicle is a tricycle also which is driven by a motor engine used to drive a dynamo. With special combination of flywheel and belt so as to move the entire tricycle. Though despised many rode on it because of its power to run on a hilly and rough roads. Thanks to Filipino innovation.

Another unique and eye-catching vehicle is a called a multicab with a rear being roofed with a tent which is supported by a wood slab. Bench for passengers are noticeably made of wood too.
