in the beautiful country of the Philippines, we have an in-expensive form of transportation called the jeepney. Equivalent to Brooklyn's [New York] dollar van, people would hop on for a cheap fare to reach their destination.
Two aspects a jeepney portrays itself by is the colorfulness and creativity it carries. Many artists express themselves by "hooking up" these vehicles with their creativeness. The music heard in these jeepnies also became a status for new tunes to be played, and people thought of it as "hip".
Crowning Manila as the capital of the Philippines, where many jeepnies start their different journeys across cities, villages and towns, explains as to what our label characterizes. So we have the name "Manila Jeepney". |
