This little photographic adventure didn’t turn out quite as I’d hoped.
For a milestone birthday, my wife treated me to three days at Pasay Road to capture jeepneys and trains through my lens. I was eagerly looking forward to it, especially with the Philippine National Railways winding down operations (yes, I know they’re calling it “temporarily suspended”) and the future of the iconic jeepney looking increasingly uncertain.
While I managed to photograph both sufficiently, the experience was overshadowed by two unpleasant encounters: a PNR security guard who seemed to think his authority extended beyond the station and onto public roads, and a furious local woman whose swearing could rival a sailor's. These incidents completely soured the trip.
With PNR now gone, it’s hard to find a reason to return to what was once a regular spot for me.
Anyway!
The 'Jeepney 3000 Project' continues with a selection of Jeepneys plying their trade around the Makati area towards the Pasay Road railway station.
A great variety of jeepneys were to be seen, including a couple of traditional ones of a design that would be more at home in Iloilo City.
Enjoy the 'King Of The Road'
