Racquel L. Jarella

PARAGOS: A LOCAL COLOR


Racquel L. Jarella
Most of the areas in Quezon are still considered as agricultural. Rice, corn, coconut and other root crops such as camote, cassava and ube are
only some of the harvested products in the rural and far-flung barrios in Lucena and Quezon. Since these areas are too far from the city, farmers
have a hard time bringing these products in the markets.
Paragos (sledge) serves as a mode of transportation of the barrio folk. This can help them transport and sell their goods in the town or city
proper. It resembles the physical look of a car. It is the version of the four wheels in the city’s concept of limousine. It is made up of wood. It contains
pair of palunas (paddle) touching the ground. With the help of a carabao, the paragos is pulled to walk.
