Getting around the Philippines

Friday, February 15th, 2008

The Philippines , a country that is comprised of over 7,100 islands, traveling between points is important and transportation is a relevant factor when going to the different locations within the archipelago. There are various means of transportation options available to help you get to where you need to go and some of these are typical and others unique only to the Philippines.

Being the Philippines, the undisputed “King of the Road” is the Jeepney, which has become the most common fixture on the roads throughout the whole country. The jeepney is the Philippines’ version of American jeep which first emerged in the country after the Japanese occupation and has now become a symbol of national pride. Every jeepney you will see is adorned with colorful designs, with each design or theme different from the other, and uniquely Filipino.
