Known as the country’s ‘King of the Road’, the Philippine jeepney is a cultural icon. Initially a product of up-cycling World War II vehicles after the war had ended, many of these public transport vehicles today – vibrantly painted and lavishly embellished by their owners – are unique mobile works of art.
It’s normal for jeepneys to be doused in several, if not all, of the colors of the rainbow…
Confidently parading vibrant hues, these vehicles brighten the country’s streets.
Jeepney owners are also very fond of painting all kinds of images on these garish vehicles. Some are simpler than others…
While some might even include their favorite comic book or cartoon characters…
But many of them, as is conventional in the majorly Catholic nation, will likely be donning a religious images too.
…even if it means having an exposed derrière right beside it.
