"The Good old Jeepney. The essence of a jeepney contains great resemblance to the present and ongoing condition of the Philippines. The Jeepney has been present for ages and decades and centuries, but was it able to catch up with the changes in time? I marvel at these Jeepneys that no matter how old these road warriors are, they still have that pride in them... They would race other Jeepneys at night, they would sound their horn repetitively because they can;t hear them from the boom-boom sound of their own stereos... But at the end of the day, the Jeepney is still the Jeepney... Was there something new about it? Well, maybe... aesthetically... but the essence remains the same, just as the Jeepney was trapped behind time.. it can't move on, no matter how much it tries, no matter what change he does to flare his image... Will this statisism apply to the Philippines and its future generations? Will there ever be development and not just growth?
