If you live in or are visiting the Philippines, you might consider dropping by the Sarao Jeepney Factory in Las Pinas, Philippines. Started by Leandro Sarao, the company has been building jeepneys since 1953. The factory is open to the public. There’s a short description about the place from the Trail of Asia travel blog.
Las Pinas is south of Manila. If you are north of Manila, you might check out M.D. Juan, which is in Caloocan City.
wonder why it says “billy graham ” on the frame
I heard the factory that builds the Jeepneys was closing this next year. Anybody know about that?
Looks like a great ride when finished…. maybe a mate to go along with the tour FC rigs! lol
Would be neat to see one of them here in the states wouldn’t it? A cool calendar picture for a future edition of the “Holy Toledo” calendar…. Bill Norris, are you listening? 🙂
