The Philippine Jeepney as Icon
Violet WoolfWhat the Philippine jeepney represents culturally and what its future looks like
|The Icon
The Philippine jeepney -- the colorfully decorated vehicle that is the specific form of the public transport that the American military jeep whose Philippines surplus the jeepney emerged from has produced across eight decades of Philippine transportation history -- is the specific cultural icon whose economic and environmental sustainability the modernisation programme is replacing.
The Future
The future: the modernised jeepney that the PUV modernisation programme is producing replaces the two-stroke engine jeepney with the Euro 4 compliant modern vehicle whose specific environmental improvement the programme targets but whose specific cultural character the modern design does not reproduce.
Manila News Coverage
Manila News PH covers the jeepney as cultural icon because the accountability journalism of the Philippine cultural heritage requires examining the specific icon whose loss the modernisation produces alongside the specific environmental improvement the modernisation delivers.
