Jeepneys Art Festival: Philippines


-
Meanwhile, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority general manager Corazon T. Jimenez said that while it is necessary to revive the jeepney as both a tourist and industrial venture, it is equally important to have disciplined and law-abiding drivers to create a positive outlook not just to the jeepneys themselves but also to Metro Manila as well.

Tourism assistant secretary Domingo Ramon C. Enerio III raised the important role of jeepneys in Philippine tourism, stressing that it offers a unique experience to tourists which cannot be found in any other country.

According to Clang Garcia, Managing Director of Jeepney Arts Festival, the Philippine jeepney industry has been suffering from the negative imagery attached to it and a number of workshops have been closing over the past years, including the iconic Sarao motors, which is known for its colorful jeepneys and the famous horse on top of their hoods.

“The jeepney is an icon. But the jeepney art is alr

eady dying, and I’ve been thinking of the best way to promote it. We’re in the tourism group so we have to move the people around and I thought of jeepney as our official transportation,” Garcia said. She also said that a ride with the jeepney across key tourist destinations will promote a positive vibe to the jeepney.

Furthermore, she said that the jeep, being an image of the Filipino spirit, also reflects how we deal with situations and ordeals.

“If you go back to the history of Philippine jeepney, it came during WWII. Due to Filipino inguenuity and artistry, we managed to develop it and survive even the war so we were able to come up with something from scratch,” she said. She also mentioned that it is a product of the country’s “ingenuity, artistry, resiliency, and entrepreneurship.
