Take a Jeepney Ride - Up until recently Jeepney’s were the official public transport used in Manila. Adapted from old American Military Jeeps, each jeepney has its own fantastic show of bright colours and graffiti style art. Now the government has pledged to remove the Jeepney’s from the streets replacing them with eco-friendly versions
