Public Utility Jeepneys

Jeepneys are the most common public transportation in PH. Fixed fare is administered for every corresponding distance. PUJ's in big cities like Cebu and Manila have a fair matrix posted inside the vehicle for commuter's reference on how much they have to pay for fare depending on the distance of their destination. By the time I post this, the minimum jeepney fare in Cebu is 8Php.

Spaghetti wires


All sorts of wires. What you see is very common in PH setting. These are wires of telephone lines, internet and cable connections. Electric wires are elevated and separated from the others.

Grated coconuts

Freshly grated coconut is sold by kilo. This man is using a special kind of machine that uses electricity to grate the coconut. Expertise is needed in this operation or someone might get his hands cut without knowledge and mastery on how to do it.

Patience is virtue

This is the typical sight you will find on jeepney terminals in shopping malls -- a long queue of commuters on their way home from work, school, or from window shopping.

Sampayan Kung Saan-saan!


This sighting is very common in my country specially in areas where the common Filipinos live. It is the most practical way to get clothes dry after laundry. It conserves so much energy from using an electric dryer. Can I do this in the US? LOL. ;-)
