TRANSPORTATION: Public transportation via Jeepneys, a relic of US Military jeeps after World War II. Open back door for easy entry/exit, seating availability subject to number of people who can come ‘squeeze’ into the back.

Jeepneys are brightly painted, designed, and decorated often times with Christian Bible verses. The Philippines is the only Christian Asian country, with 86% of the population as Roman Catholics.
