Hi Sir Larry, im the one in the green La Salle shirt and that ride in the Jeepney was FUN, it's was such a nice experience having a fun ride with you and Ms. Angie King. Thanks for the memorable and fun experience with you guys, stay safe as always!
@AngieMeadKing thank you for everything that You and Larry shared to us, every videos is worth watching. God bless, I've been watching the videos since last week.
Larry, your content has been phenomenal recently! Each new features are awesome, showcasing the beauty and culture of the Philippine car culture in such a captivating way. As Filipinos, we are incredibly grateful and honored for your dedication and hard work. Keep up the fantastic work!
Larry should've ridden a Jeepney while it's in full work mode to experience and see how the driver cope with fare exchanges, keeping an eye on which passenger just hopped on and who's getting off, which passenger is flagging for something, etc..
That Sarao is OG! I remember way back in the day, the front windshields were covered with stacked 8-track tapes. Was always cool to ride the fanciest/ most decorated Jeepneys in Cavite.
One of the most patriotic car contents I have ever watch, cuz the Philippine Independence Day is just next week. Half of the public transport jeepneys now are fitted with turbochargers, a Thai-inspired build for short. Some have muscle car and JDM aesthetics, and overland builds for mountain travel. Fun fact: jeepneys were a thing in Philippines even before WW2, called "auto calesas", which were converted Austin 7s and American Bantams, the Willys Jeep's predecessor.
imagine a jeepney driver takes payment and gives out the correct change at any given time with different money denominations, and still mind the road, people may get off at any given time, no designated stops, clutching, the humidity, without any power steering, with the most stiff clutch and shifter ever, no airbags, not enough driver legroom. salute to all the jeepney drivers
In the province some jeepneys are beefed up that it can tackle off-road. It is loaded up to the roof with passengers plus whatever local produce that needs to be hauled.
@@SherwinCruz-s8d IT IS A TRUCK with a jeepney body for convenience. The NPS chassis is a common contender but there are exceptional ones that uses the ISUZU FORWARD or FUSO FIGHTER medium duty trucks as the main chassis. These are massive in size and capability. Then there is the extreme end. Using an SKW chassis in a 6x6 format, surplus military vehicles from Japan, with a MASSIVE 8DC9 V8 diesel engine and mining tires. It is capable of going anywhere as long as you have brought enough fuel for the engine. There is also an American military surplus truck used as jeepney but the SKW has more parts availability than the American one.
Larry, I'm SO jealous. I visited the wonderful Philippines for a month last year while meeting my girlfriend there, and I only got to ride in Jeepneys, and considered that and honor. I hope you understand how lucky you are, to drive a part of true Filipino culture. 🙏 I envy so much of your life, and enjoy every video, because I connect with so much of your documentation on worldwide car culture. 🙏 Keep doing our culture proud. 🚎
I remember Larry asking us "Have you driven a jeepney?" We just ride in them Larry, you just casually did what the 99% of the population can only dream about in their Filipino lifetime. Larry is now more Filipino than the locals at this point 🤣
Part of the reason it has stuck around so long is because the philippines remains a very impoverished nation. If you phased them out, there would be no alternative form of transport that would be affordable for most people
Jeepneys don't pass modern safety standards, not even close. The owners themselves modify their engines to make them stronger but in turn make them fail emissions. They pay money for their jeeps to pass. They are junk for daily public transport. They are better off for car shows
Something I should add as a jeepney fanatic. According to Ed Sarao, starting from the 1970s to the present day these jeeps would be custom body custom frame due to the surplus drying up around that time, and the only thing remaining from the original Willys being the face. As for parts they use surplus japanese parts. For the original 50s Jeepney that one had a c240 which was converted to diesel around the oil crisis era. For horse power he is correct, it does make around 80HP. For the horse they had an outside source thats makes them out of alloy rims who sadly has passed away, thankfully his family is trying to continue his legacy. As for the government program that he mentioned that caused to slow down of production. The program was and still is poorly implemented with little guidelines and support to local fabricators and instead focused on lower quality imported mini busses. If you do plan to ride in these some day I can refer you ride the ones that go through the express way. I believe it was the one that takes cavitex.
Loved the video, took me back to my youth when I spent three years stationed at NAS Cubi Point in PI and regularly hopped on a jeepney to go out to Barrio Barreto or Subic City for a night's barhopping. Good times.
My grandfather was a partisan during WW2 in the philippines. Then became a member of the philippine constabulary and fought his former brothers-in-arms partisans that turned into communist rebels. Retired and became a jeepney driver in the late 60s-70s using a modified willy's jeep.
this lil series on the Philippines is so awesome. like i want more content from this place. does anyone know any more youtube channels that focus on the scene there?
I don't know if you understand tagalog.. but this dude's channel is about jeepneys that are modded. He vlogs about it. ua-cam.com/video/QFefrgik264/v-deo.htmlsi=_aOruPDnV5z8nH5G
Reminds me of around 15 years ago at Naga in the Philippines, cruising on one of these mist days with my friends. Use to sit on the roof with a beer on the ride. Awesome ❤
When I visited the Philippines two years ago, I ridden in the back of a couple Jeepneys and in the front of one Jeepney. It was really fun but got crowded with the number of passengers riding in it especially in the back, as you were talking about in the video. Also riding in tricycles was fun and exciting.
Jeepney drivers are such badasses here. They call for possible passengers, they compute for your fare(each can have different riding point and offloading point), compute for your change, remember each of the passenger for their payments(specially for those that doesn't pay), and hop-off points(others wants to pay less and tell they'll just hop-off somewhere near), They even track the capacity of the vehicle(each driver knows the capacity and will always want it full for better income), and Thats on top of driving along the traffic filled highways of Manila!
Dang, brings back memories! I used to hang on the back of those commuting to and from school…best times of my childhood. Depending on the towns in the Philippines, some of those are fixed up with nice sound systems, and fitted with “minibus” engines so they rip!
You're driving the "mediium" length...most common. I learned how to drive with one that was longer and used in the province. Still a 4 speed and a "on/off" clutch back in 1983. I officially got my license in the United States in 1984. These are excellent vehicles for what they are made for.
In the province, there are actually a guy who will be the one that will take and calculate your ticket price. They usually stationed on the back outside of the vehicle as to not take an additional seat meant for passengers, they also help with lowering passenger goods that are on the top of the Jeepney.
There's nothing wrong with the new jeepneys. I think they're more comfortable. I understand the old jeepneys is part of our heritage. I've been riding that sh* since birth. Been there and done that. But, it's okay to keep it in the garage or the government should let it ride till people start adapting to the new ones. Cause people will choose which transportation is more comfortable to ride on. To be honest I wanna buy one just to keep it. 😂 or travel with it with the fam.
@@jaymopar3543 I didn't say the new one's are bad. It's just the abrupt phasing out of the old one's is too much since not all the drivers/operators can afford the new units. Our government should give proper subsidy para di naman mabaon sa hirap mga tsuper naten.
@@morpheus5162 yah I don't know whats going on with the whole jeepney situation in P.I. thanks for the update. The government shouldve given them some kind of credit to help the owners and drivers financially. Since it's a national issue. Have they done that? Just asking.
@@morpheus5162 I met an old Jeepney driver at my mechanic, he was able to get a modern jeepney but was angry that it was taking too long (it has a waiting line) and in the meantime bought his son a 2nd hand Altis. This is in a town in Baguio City BTW, which is much smaller than Manila. So I was starting to think that other operators are just too cheap to transition, or just have poor money IQ. This is the Philippines after all, the "poor" are not exempt from bad management.
New ones are just plain minibuses and looked just like a rushed conversion of trucks into passenger vehicles, and they're mostly imported and expensive as hell or just some commercial trucks fitted with the passenger cab that doesn't even have that bonnet infront housing the engine, those local companies definitely nailed the name called "modern jeepneys" but the philippine government are just blind and deaf to those and not prioritizing the locally built one which disappoints me. With those units, you can stand inside, more safety and comfort features than the typical jeepney, aton more affordable to typical operators and drivers barely making a living, and got the design on point, They kept the supposed "jeepney" design intact even if that would have the front of the latest jeep wrangler it would be more "jeep blooded".
It's great to see the longevity and evolution of a great vehicle. I have 2 43 flat fenders one has the GoDevel engine and the other has a V6 love the transmissions. People look hard when you go through 4 gears backing up. The 4 sticks was hard at first but became second nature. I bet people that my empty jeep can idle up a hill before they can drive up it. Most times I'm running before it goes over the top.
I learned to drive on one of these back in the late 80s. It was a Melford 18 passenger with isuzu 4ba1 diesel engine that you had to double clutch before shifting. Also, the heavy steering wheel did not self-center when you turned. My parents had my name and picture handpainted all over that jeepney, kinda embarassing 😂. Anyway, the jeepney is not just a vehicle, when parked it’s like a covered patio with two long sofas.
I think there is something missing in the video. It's the top load in the roof of the jeepney. I used to commute sitting in the roof of the jeepney together with fruits and vegetables. Thats what Filipinos used when going to Mountainous places like Bukid on. A Jeepney with top load carrier in the roof going to roads near cliff just to go from point to point in the Mountains.
Visiting Philippians, my friends family had 3-4 running around, used one for private use, Long distance in a Jeepney is HELLLLL. Your arse will hurt, tenderised bouncing around alot. Still fun though, but Not for long distance on broken roads. Also they put another seat in the middle to fit more people. Btw, I think some Jeepney owners have a second in command or conductor to collect payments and then give to the driver.
Great job Larry! Thank you for featuring the car culture here in Philippines. Thank you also to @angiemeadking for making this possible. I'm a big fan. Too bad I didn't got the time to meet you. Maybe someday.
Maybe that's why they use their foot to change gear, coz drivers multi-task...they get the fare, give the change back...use their elbows to steer, eyes on the road while they call out passengers...crazy!
Just drive a few kilometers in any direction in Manila and you'll see several types of Jeepneys, ranging from grandfathered Kei trucks to Jeepneys with the front end of a popular car brand.
quite odd that Sarao jeep dont have power steering, maybe it was removed, because those outside (live ones used for collecting passengers) they have one, or else it will be very hard to maneuver with all the passengers inside. the engine came from old reconditioned trucks in Japan. cool video btw :)
Always going to be place for a Jeepney, dont need ac and closed van.. just need a rip a few blocks with the air flying through my air and feeling alive.
Lol, the driver, know every places fare prices from point a To point b and the passenger will tell the driver when its time to get off or during paying the passenger will say where he goes and where he start
True! America won the war with 600,000 Jeeps built in Detriot. After the war, Filipinos thought, "why don't we convert all these leftover Jeeps into passenger transport?" So the Jeepney was born. 🤔💡😮
Honestly I still want this to exist since the modern Jeepney to me is just Mini-buses. At least the Government didn’t completely throw or outlaw them away, but they should’ve known and also done better than taking the easy route and disregard our culture 4:20 another Term for stop is Lugar or even another sign they bang they’re coin pesos on the metal railing (this is used to passenger to hold on to) to tell the driver to stop 14:18 the fun part the College isn’t part the cancelled ones 21:16 that’s just not unacceptable man at that point
The jeepney was a bandaid solution that turned into a curse from which the Filipinos were not able get out of. Only ones complementing the design of these death traps are those who don’t ride them everyday, i.e foreigner influencers looking for fame. They are not safe nor ergonomic because you have to duck every time you board or disembark. They are not safe because any safety features is nonexistent and boarding and disembarking from the rear is not safe because of the oncoming traffic.
Hi Sir Larry, im the one in the green La Salle shirt and that ride in the Jeepney was FUN, it's was such a nice experience having a fun ride with you and Ms. Angie King. Thanks for the memorable and fun experience with you guys, stay safe as always!

They replace the "molye" or leaf spring for those used in trucks so it can do this

My favorite vlog from your Philippines series! ❤❤❤
This just brings back a lot of my growing up memories! Thank you!
Love these vids Larry; You and Angie's enthusiasm is infectious and it's so easy to tell how much fun you both are having!
One of the reasons why these jeepneys should never phaseout. To have or see something like this on the road is very nice.
The design shouldn't get phaseout, but the dilapidated should get phaseout. Rear loading is dangerous for passengers.
Stricter guidelines on safety and road discipline but phase out should be out of the question
Part of the reason it has stuck around so long is because the philippines remains a very impoverished nation.
If you phased them out, there would be no alternative form of transport that would be affordable for most people
Third world regulations. It belongs in a museum. Great for festivals. Not for paying public compromising safety and comfort.
Jeepneys don't pass modern safety standards, not even close. The owners themselves modify their engines to make them stronger but in turn make them fail emissions. They pay money for their jeeps to pass. They are junk for daily public transport. They are better off for car shows
Larry appreciate this content showcasing the Filipino jeepney and OTG.

Wait till Larry sees the Japanese Kei Trucks here in Mindanao that has been converted to be modern jeepneys a.k.a. multicab🇵🇭
wait arent there kei truck jeepneys in some areas of manila too?
@@ٴ-ق1ت its just used on particular short routes - like in Mall of Asia-Pasay

Hey Larry Chen don't forget its not only those types of Jeepneys but also another Jeepney which is called "XLT Jeepneys"
Larry’s having a blast driving that Jeepney!
Awesome tribute to the venerable Philippine Jeepney. Larry driving it like a boss lol

Larry should purchase one jeepney before they disappear in the country one day
*disappear
Dang, brings back memories! I used to hang on the back of those commuting to and from school…best times of my childhood. Depending on the towns in the Philippines, some of those are fixed up with nice sound systems, and fitted with “minibus” engines so they rip!
Yuup! I remember riding jeepneys back in the 80’s and 90’s! even hang behind the jeepney while on my rollerblades back in BF Homes, Parañaque. 😆
That small white jeep's engine is ISUZU C190 and it is big enough for that size of a jeep.
This was so informative!

my grandma had the same 90's sarao jeepney exactly like that but it's red, and it's still registered and hauling passengers everyday
Thank you Larry for the great showcase of the culture 🇵🇭
You should go to Rizal Binangonan and see Skipper Motors making modern style jeepneys

They usually stationed on the back outside of the vehicle as to not take an additional seat meant for passengers, they also help with lowering passenger goods that are on the top of the Jeepney.
Now this should be a statement to our government why phasing out old jeepney's shouldn't be so abrupt.

Welcome to the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Larry should try the one wherein you ride in the roof of the jeepney I am not sure if this is still a thing in other provinces in Philippines.
this was fun to watch!Mabuhay ka Larry!
Thank you for visiting our country Larry 🥳 isa kang alamat 😁
There use to be a tour company that operates a jeepney in and around historic Filipino town in Los Angeles. I don't know if it is still active tho.
next time you visit cavite try to ride jeepney at midnight from Aguinaldo highway to Baclaran. Drivers on that route are crazy fast.
I learned to drive on one of these back in the late 80s. It was a Melford 18 passenger with isuzu 4ba1 diesel engine that you had to double clutch before shifting. Also, the heavy steering wheel did not self-center when you turned. My parents had my name and picture handpainted all over that jeepney, kinda embarassing 😂.

Now you got to visit Kenya we have something even better (Matatu or Nganya)
We call the assistant of the driver kundoktor not pahinante just to correct Angel. Pahinante is the assistant of truck drivers in the Philippines 😊
To avoid the engine overheating thats why they remove the radiator cap to release engine pressure thats the mind set
I think there is something missing in the video. It's the top load in the roof of the jeepney. I used to commute sitting in the roof of the jeepney together with fruits and vegetables. Thats what Filipinos used when going to Mountainous places like Bukid on. A Jeepney with top load carrier in the roof going to roads near cliff just to go from point to point in the Mountains.
Thank you
It would be sick if the new modern ones with raised roof get a taller stick shift (similar to how tall sticks are in hot rods). 😎
Visiting Philippians, my friends family had 3-4 running around, used one for private use, Long distance in a Jeepney is HELLLLL. Your arse will hurt, tenderised bouncing around alot. Still fun though, but Not for long distance on broken roads. Also they put another seat in the middle to fit more people. Btw, I think some Jeepney owners have a second in command or conductor to collect payments and then give to the driver.
When I last went to PI, I noticed that some of the back and sides would have spikes to deter those who would try to catch a ride…
Great job Larry! Thank you for featuring the car culture here in Philippines. Thank you also to @angiemeadking for making this possible. I'm a big fan. Too bad I didn't got the time to meet you. Maybe someday.
He needs to interview Francisco Motors since that'll be the next gen of jeepneys.
Maybe that's why they use their foot to change gear, coz drivers multi-task...they get the fare, give the change back...use their elbows to steer, eyes on the road while they call out passengers...crazy!

oh the 1 2 3 trick... i used to do that when i was in High School 😅
Larry do a Jeepney meet show. Trust me theyll bring their modded Jeepneys. 😂 u gonna love em.
quite odd that Sarao jeep dont have power steering, maybe it was removed, because those outside (live ones used for collecting passengers) they have one, or else it will be very hard to maneuver with all the passengers inside. the engine came from old reconditioned trucks in Japan. cool video btw :)
3:36 Now thats authentic as it can be
Always going to be place for a Jeepney, dont need ac and closed van.. just need a rip a few blocks with the air flying through my air and feeling alive.
You should have tried to ride an actual fared jeepney just for fun amd experience. That would have been a awesome vlog for you Larry.👍
You should see the jeepney of BAHAY JEEP NI ANTET. they use it as camper van and in Philippine loop.
The legendary Philippine jeepneys!
cool to hear all this. I wonder if story is similar, minus the military part, about the similar buses you see in some of the Mexican cities.
3:05 Larry: "OMG, this is RIDICULOUS!"
Wait 'til you drive in the real, stop-and-go traffic world...that's way beyond that! 😁
Shifting using ur foot is NEXT LEVEL! HAHA
Man went full role play when he had the money in between his fingers 😂
Lol, the driver, know every places fare prices from point a
To point b and the passenger will tell the driver when its time to get off or during paying the passenger will say where he goes and where he start
True! America won the war with 600,000 Jeeps built in Detriot. After the war, Filipinos thought, "why don't we convert all these leftover Jeeps into passenger transport?" So the Jeepney was born. 🤔💡😮

Jeeps and Spam. WW2 remnant staples. Imagine the Philippines without both.
Honestly I still want this to exist since the modern Jeepney to me is just Mini-buses. At least the Government didn’t completely throw or outlaw them away, but they should’ve known and also done better than taking the easy route and disregard our culture
4:20 another Term for stop is Lugar or even another sign they bang they’re coin pesos on the metal railing (this is used to passenger to hold on to) to tell the driver to stop
14:18 the fun part the College isn’t part the cancelled ones
21:16 that’s just not unacceptable man at that point
This is dope
Paying riding public deserves better. For novelty, this can be preserved to use for car shows, festivals and for private use.
@@punkinhoot It's common. Can be fabricated from scratch.
Larry: Angie, show how little room I have in here
Angie: 👁👄👁
i enjoyed numerous journeys on these old girls back in the day.
Larry just experienced "pawis steering"
yessirrrr love it
Sarao motors, is one of the oldest jeepney maker in the Phils.
Jeepney very cool
I wanna build one!
Shiieet I'd buy a poster of that and the owner lol I grew up driving them :)
jeep fares is just like riding trains. There's a route and every stop has different prices.
whats crazy is how these rides are being phased out as we speak
Lerry Chen is awesome lol😂
13:46 ❤️
Imagine bring tj hunt or vinnie when u comeback
No to phase out. Just improve it🤧.

The jeepney was a bandaid solution that turned into a curse from which the Filipinos were not able get out of. Only ones complementing the design of these death traps are those who don’t ride them everyday, i.e foreigner influencers looking for fame.

They are not safe because any safety features is nonexistent and boarding and disembarking from the rear is not safe because of the oncoming traffic.
