Jeepney, The King Of The Road....





This unique vehicle originally was an American G.I. surplus jeep converted into public utility vehicle to solve the scarcity of transit in the country after the war. From a plain 6 passenger to the recent 18-passenger type, evolved its extraordinary extended looks furnished with idiosyncratic designs, colorful paintings and stickers of various brand names.

Jeepney is the result of Filipinos’ ingenuity on creating practical objects out of nothing.

Nowadays, these assemblage of metals, surplus engines, decors and fetishes rattle the cities and towns throughout the country symbolizing the Philippines’ adaptive approach to global influence.

Aetas are descendants of a race of people who are believed to have first settled in the Philippines 25,000 to 30,000 years ago using land bridges between the Philippines and mainland Asia. (It has been theorized that during the Ice Age, the waters around the Philippines fell to around 156 feet below its level resulting in the exposure of large areas of land that served as land bridges between the Philippines and mainland Asia.) The last Aeta migration to the Philippines is believed to have occurred between 12,000 to 15,000 years ago. The Aetas are generally shorter than most Filipinos and are usually of darker skin.

Bataan Death March

Bataan Death March- forced march of 70,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war captured by the Japanese in the Philippines during world war II. Starting out from Mariveles, at the southern end of Bataan Peninsula, on April 9, 1942, these soldiers were forced-marched 88 km to San Fernando Pampanga, then taken by trail to Capas, from there they walked for the remaining 13 km to Camp O’Donnell. They were tortured, starved and often kicked or beaten on their way. Those who fell were bayoneted. Around 7,000- 10,000 perished on the way while some were able to scape to the jungle. Only 54,000 reached the camp.

After the war, the Japanese commander who led the invasion of the Philippines, Gen. Homma Masaharu was charged by the U.S. military commission in Manila on February 1946 as the one responsible for the death march. Convicted, he was executed on April 3.
