There are still some jeepneys — I mean the ones that
are personally owned versus hired-out to drivers by
time shifts — which fully illustrate and express the
individuality and personal idiosyncracies of its owners.
I find them so much more interesting and colorful in
a folk art kind of way. Like this one in Biñan, Laguna.
It's like a mobile "phlog" in its own low-tech way. :-)

That's fantastic - i want to see what's on the other side. Mobile iconography, grafitti and a personal statement on four wheels.

I wish I could have, too. But it zoomed away before I could pull over and take more pix. The jeepney owners outside the Metro are a lot freer to express themselves and personalize their vehicles as they are less bound by urban rules to have a relatively more uniform look.
Go ahead... Dish!
