The jeepney is the king of the road in the Philippines. They were originally made from US military jeeps left over from World War II. It could hold a lot of passenger. It can be an 18seater, 16 seater, 20 seater or 24 seater.

What makes it fascinating is the unique design. At the both sides of the jeepney, the owner could choose whatever design that has surpasses his taste. They design could be paintings of the owner’s family, celebrities, sceneries, pets and the most popular of them all religious images.

Note; This post was from my officemate. I asked her to share her commuter experience. Would I get some additional points for this? THanks

If you’ve read my post Walk my way home, You will probably know by now that I had my own fair share of experience with storm and flood. My second commuter experience also concerns flood and it happened when I was in high school. It was raining so hard in the night but fortunately, it stopped in the morning.

So we woke up early in the morning, do our usual errands and commute our way to school. But we have a problem. The rain have flooded and blocked the streets. We were so worried that we were the only one who couldn’t make it to school. We had no choice but to call our school and inform them about our situation. And we were surprised with their answer. It turns out that only few students made it to school because of the flood. So they’ve decided to cancel the class that day even though the weather isn’t that bad at all. We were so relieve. The great thing was, we didn’t have to walk our way home.

I could never forget when I was in first year high school when I had to walked home because of a storm. No announcements were made regarding the storm in the morning so classes weren’t suspended. The storm was just for a brief moment but it hit so hard that it flooded some of the roads.

It was during lunchtime when rain started to pour hard. Our student council president asked our principal to let the students home. The principal initially refused but allowed us to go home at around 2 pm because the rain won’t just stop. Because it is not yet our dismissal time, our school service isn’t there yet. So together with my classmate, we decided to just commute home.

We rode a jeepney but then for just a while, we were stranded. The vehicles does not move at all. We’ve see people starting to walk so my classmate and I decided to walk as well. Fortunately, the rain has stopped pouring. But the rain has flooded the whole express way and a mini pond was formed in the middle of the road and vehicles couldn’t go through.

It was about three feet of flood. There’s no way we could go home if we won’t cross the flood. Fortunately, a bus has just been repaired and it was willing the cross the flood. We were so lucky. So we rode the bus up to our home.

Our school service also arrived in our school and they had come home at around 12 midnight because of the traffic.
