The Last Kalesa Maker. Benjamin Lingad is a third generation Kalesa maker in San Fernando, Pampanga. The Lingad family of Brgy. San Jose, San Fernando, Pampanga is famous for making top of the line calesas since 1959. Most of the calesas we see in San Fernando today and even in Intramuros were made by Benjamin Lingad who inherited calesa making from his father. His grandfather was known for making paragos -a carabao-drawn sled. Paragos was widely used those days to hull sugar canes when San Fernando rivaled Negros in sugar cane production…. #calesas #fernandiknowsheritage #heritage #calesamaker #pampanga #horsedrawncarriage #filipinomade #travel #travelgram #philippines???????? #wheels #dontskipmanilastories #dontskipmanila #beyondmanila #travelgram #travelphotography #travelogue #travelstories #travelstoriesph #people #artisan #localartisan #mastercraftsman #travel #travelgo #travelph #bnesimppl
