TATLONG PASADA
Dokumentaryo ni Cesar Apolinario
Para sa I-Witness
Airing Date: Hulyo 20, 2009
Maituturing pa rin bang pambansang sasakyan ang jeepney?
Sa lumipas na mahigit anim na dekada pagkatapos ng Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig mula nang maimbento ang jeepney ng mga Pilipino, itinuring na itong simbolo ng kultura at pagiging malikhain nating mga Pinoy. Pero hindi tulad ng mga bagong bus at tren, tila napag-iwanan na ng teknolohiya ang jeepney. May mga nagsasabing kung magpapatuloy ang ganitong sitwasyon, may posibilidad na mawala na nang tuluyan ang mga tinaguriang hari sa kalsada. Kamakailan lang, naglabas ng anunsyo ang LTFRB na babawasan na nila ang bilang ng mga jeepney na bumibiyahe sa Kamaynilaan.
Sa kanyang kauna-unahang dokumentaryo para sa I-Witness, ikukuwento ng GMA Senior Reporter at award-winning na direktor na si Cesar Apolinario ang buhay ng tatlong jeepney drivers, at isasalaysay ang kanilang mga hinaing at pambihirang pagmamahal sa napiling propesyon.
BASTA DRIVER, SWEET LOVER
Isang patok na jeep ang minamaneho ni Kano, na perpektong halimbawa ng mga katagang basta driver, sweet lover. May pitong anak si Kano sa apat na babae na pawang naging pasahero niyang lahat. Nagsisimula sa Montalban, Rizal hanggang Cubao, Quezon City ang biyahe niya, pero para lumaki ang kita, nagka-cutting trip si Kano. Hhindi niya idinideretso ang biyahe sa Cubao para makaiwas trapiko sa Aurora Boulevard, na pugad din ng mga kalaban gaya ng FX at LRT2.
HOME SWEET HOME
Mahigit kalahati ng buhay ni Lolo Pilo, inilaan na niya sa pagmamaneho ng jeepney. Sa loob ng tatlumput walong taon, hindi raw niya pinagsisihan kailanman kung bakit pagmamaneho ang napili niyang propesyon. Noong 1971, nauwi sa hiwalayan ang pagsasama niya at ng kanyang asawa, pero kung si Lolo Pilo ang tatanungin, mas minahal pa niya ang kanyang 14 taong jeepney na nagsilbi rin niyang tahanan.
JEEPNEY EXPRESS
Isang liblib na lugar ang Gadang sa probinsiya ng Benguet, apat na oras na biyahe mula sa Baguio City. Apat lang ang jeep dito na nagbibigay ng transportasyon sa mga residente. Para makatipid sa pamasahe, nakikisuyo ang iba kay Bert na mamili ng kanilang mga pangangailangan sa Baguio. Dahil dito, wala na raw iba pang lugar sa Pilipinas na tumitingala sa mga jeepney driver tulad ni Bert.
Sumakay na at sundan ang Tatlong Pasada kasama si Cesar Apolinario sa I-Witness, ngayong Lunes ng hatinggabi pagkatapos ng Saksi.

TATLONG PASADA
Cesar Apolinarios I-Witness Documentary
Airing Date: July 20, 2009
More than six decades have passed since the jeepney, a World War 2 leftover vehicle, was modified into a public transport. The jeppneys robust built and dependability propelled it to the status of being the Philippines national transport, a symbol of our culture and ingenuity.
But due to lack of technological innovation, jeepneys are now deemed highly inferior to the trains of the railway transport system. The LTFRB even announced recently that the number of jeepneys in Metro Manila will be lessened significantly. Is this the start of the jeepneys eventual demise?
In his first documentary for I-Witness, GMA Senior Reporter and award-winning director Cesar Apolinario joins three charming jeepney drivers as they traverse through the busy roads of Luzon and tell amusing stories about life in the fast lane.
BASTA DRIVER, SWEET LOVER
Kano is the perfect jeepney driver who exemplifies the famous phrase basta driver sweet lover. He has 7 children from four different women, all of whom were his passengers before. Kanos route stretches from Montalban, Rizal to Cubao Quezon City. To augment his income, Kano illegally cuts his trip short to steer clear from heavy traffic in Aurora Boulevard, a main road in Quezon City also serviced by other competitors like FX taxis and the extensive LRT 2 line.
HOME SWEET HOME
Lolo Pilo has been driving his jeepney for more than half of his life. For 38 years, he says he has never regretted choosing jeepney driving as a livelihood. Lolo Pilo even declares that his love for his ex-wife compares poorly to the devotion that he gives to his 14-year old jeepney, where he also prefers to stay and sleep alone.
JEEPNEY EXPRESS
Four hours away from the City of Pines, a remote community bereft of technological wonders relies only on the jeepney to survive and support the whole populaces needs. Residents of Gadang in Benguet usually ask Bert, one of the drivers of the only four jeepneys that travel back and forth the town, to buy them their household goods and supplies.
From the chaotic streets of Metro Manila to the mountain edges of Benguet, Cesar Apolinario takes on the drivers seat this Monday midnight in this amazing road documentary Tatlong Pasada, airing on I-Witness after the late night newscast Saksi.
