TATLONG PASADA (4th trip) i witness 2009

More than six decades have passed since the jeepney, a World War 2 leftover vehicle, was modified into a public transport. The jeepney's robust built and dependability propelled it to the status of being the Philippine's 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 jeepney's 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.
