Pasada Sa Buhay Pinoy

London bus driver Josh West heads to Manila, the capital of the Philippines and the most densely populated city on Earth. Josh will be driving a Jeepney, a colourfully decorated, adapted jeep which has no power steering, dodgy lights and an uncomfortable seat. His host is Rogelio Castro and together they brave the chaos of the streets. It's a hair-raising and often hilarious ride, but Josh also learns about the incredible over-crowding and devastating poverty of Manila. He forms a strong bond with Rogelio and is moved by the daily struggle of an ordinary Filipino working to feed his family. It's an emotional roller coaster and Josh returns a changed man, aware that all the separates his life from Rogelio's is the country he happened to be born in.  BBC

Ang Jeepney ni Mang Juan de la Cruz

 

May katandaan na ang jeepney ni Mang Juan, minana pa mula sa kano. Kinumpuni, iniba ang disenyo at ibinagay sa mamamayang Pilipino. Jury rig ika nga, pinagtagpi-tagpi, tinali-tali, ganoon pa man ay mahusay pa rin ang takbo maski na may kamahalan ang krudo. Ninakawan, kotong at sinamantala ng mga dayuhan at ng taong pamahalaan.  Alam ko pagod ka na, pero kaarawan mo daw ngayon.  Halika inuman tayo, sagot ko pati pulutan. Hapi bertdey po Mang Juan.
