====Philippines==== The pulled rickshaw never gained acceptance in the Philippines. Americans tried to introduce it to [[Manila City|Manila]] in the early 20th century, but it was strongly opposed by local Filipinos who viewed it as an undignified mode of transport that turned humans into "beasts".
