Explore the Philippines in a jeepney, also known locally as the King of the Road!
A product of
Filipino ingenuity, the idea for the
Philippine jeepney was derived from the G.I. jeeps left by American soldiers after World War II. It had the powerful engine of an army jeep, but with a remodeled body that has been topped with a metal roof, painted with vibrant colors and decorated with bright chrome hood ornaments. Over the years, the
jeepney has emerged as a popular mode of transportation for most
Filipinos and has become an enduring symbol of
Filipino pop culture.
