Kuliglig transporting Rice

Farmer spreading his rice to dry. It takes two to three days to dry. They spread it out in the day, watch to make sure it doesn't rain and then pack it back up in the bags for the next day.
This is what powers the Kuliglig. A water pump. The Kuliglig does not need to be registered or licensed so it is inexpensive transportation. Very slow and very heavy and difficult to steer.

After inspecting the Elder's apartment we took some pictures of some sights on our way home. There were rice fields, bags of rice, rice in bags in trucks, man drying the rice and a vehicle called a kuliglig. That is a strange looking vehicle that is powered by a water pump. It transports people and rice and whatever else. The mountains in background are called the Sierra Madres Mountains. The first thing we both said was, it looks like Glendora. Quite similar. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
