* PHILIPPINE BUS ALBUM 1999-2023 - PART 3

Philippine Bus Album 1999 Till Today.

From a young age, I’ve been fascinated with buses and trains, a passion that naturally extended to the Philippines during my first visit in 1999. Since then, I’ve returned 14 times, capturing countless photographs of the diverse transportation landscape.

Given the sheer volume of images, I often find it overwhelming to share them all on social media. I've launched an occasional series here on my travel blog to keep the enthusiasm alive (and maybe entertain a few others along the way).

Over the past decade, the bus hobby in the Philippines has flourished, reflecting the vibrant variety of bus operators and models that traverse the islands.

 It's a captivating journey worth documenting!

At the time of getting this shot, I had quite a craze for these old MALTC Nissan clunkers that were still plying the streets of Manila.

Their time was nearing an end, with their replacement by more modern vehicles fast approaching.
