Motorized tricycles, or simply tricycles (known in the rest of the world as a motorcycle and sidecar), are

Graham Brothers, Enfield, Middlesex, England.[2]

Tricycles are built in a variety of styles, which differ from city to city, and are usually made locally by
building a sidecar and affixing it to an imported motorcycle. Usually both the cycle and sidecar are
covered, but not always by the same roof. Larger companies, such as Fitcor Marketing, also manufacture
passenger tricycles.[3] They are built with more seats with the motor situated at the back, rather than

passengers up to as many as six or more, excluding the driver.[4] Goods can be placed on the roof. One
or two passengers can sit behind the driver while several more can sit in the sidecar, depending upon
the design. Additional passengers can sit on the roof or stand hanging onto the side or back of the
sidecar. In rainy weather, a tricycle will be completely enclosed in heavy plastic covering.

Tricycles can be painted colorfully, like jeepneys.

BARONG TAGALOG

formal garment of the Philippines. It is very lightweight and worn untucked (similar to
a coat/dress shirt), over an undershirt. It is usually worn by men during weddings, banquets, and
other such formal events. Women wearing the barong Tagalog is uncommon, but not unheard
of. The term "barong Tagalog" literally means "a Tagalog dress" in the Tagalog language. The
baro was popularized as formal wear by Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay, who wore it to
most official and personal affairs, including his inauguration as president.

 The Baro’t saya (also known as Filipiniana) is an embroidered dress and is worn by women. The
name is a contraction of the

Tagalog words barò at saya, meaning "dress (blouse) and skirt".[1][2]

 Bahag is a loincloth that was commonly used throughout the Philippines before the arrival of
European colonizers, and which is used by some indigenous tribes of the Philippines today -
most notably the Cordillerans in Northern Luzon.[3][4]
