Ever since I was a youngster I have always had an interest in buses and trains, so this was always going to extend to the Philippines when I first started going there in 1999.
Obviously this has meant that I would end up taking a large amount of photographs across the 14 visits since, so much so that I struggle to find the time to place them all on social media individually.
So, in an effort to bore the world further, I shall be doing an occasional series here on the travel blog.
The bus hobby in the Philippines has grown massively over the last decade or so.
It is not surprising given the huge variety of bus operators and types that operate around the various islands.

I had a particular love of these old clunkers, and would go out of my way to try to get them in their final years of use.

It fascinates me that they cover names on bus wrecks when the various liveries are usually very well known and distinctive.
