BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Jeepneys are a form of public transportation here in the Philippines. It was made from military jeep then they designed it and made it attractive for the people to ride on it comfortably.

You won’t see any jeepneys in other countries. It is a part of our culture because of its uniqueness and its form. Almost everything inside a jeepney symbolizes something. The lines “God bless you” shows the Filipinos religious side and the names of their relatives in front or on the ceiling of a jeepney symbolizes the closeness to the family.

It’s cool to ride a jeepney because it’s cheap and easy to ride on. And it’s so cool to see how passengers pass their payment to the driver without even asking someone to get his money. It’s automatic that someone will help you until your money reaches the driver.

Jeepneys are very important to students and workers. They use this transportation to get to their destination without spending too much money. It helps a lot especially in these times where almost everything is expensive.

It is so cool to have something like this, a public transportation that is a small representation of Filipino values. I hope that every one appreciates what we have. Let’s be proud of this - something that is very unique and is a big part of our history and our lives.
