Let me introduce to you to one of the most iconic forms of Publix transportation in the Philippines. A bit of history that I also discovered that this Jeep evolved from World War II when the Americans left those military jeeps. It evolved into a unique Filipino public vehicle. Almost all of them are colorful. Though we have e-jeep, bus, trains, grab and other rides, the old jeepney are still out the road. The Jeepney in the photo is a display for tourist to see in one hotel.

I have heard of the Jeepney, of course, but I i’ve never seen one in person, which is not surprising. They look kind of cool.

The people were very industrious to take what the American military left behind and turn it into something nice!

That Jeepney is fantastic. Love how they were transformed into artistic works as well as needed transportation.
