Filipinos have been known for our affinity for music.
Long before smartphones and streaming services,
music have been integral to the everyday lives of Filipinos
In fact, long before Spotify Playlists existed,
there were jeepneys.
Those ubiquitous, rugged, creatively adorned, chrome-plated jeepneys,
plying the congested roads of Manila.
Hop on one of these iconic transports, and if you're lucky,
your commute will be accompanied by a special playlist
curated by none other than
the jeepney driver himself.
In any given ride, you can be treated to a variety of tunes
from classics by Michael Jackson or Journey,
to all-time favorites by Mariah Carey or Ogie Alcasid,
to top hits from Daft Punk or One Republic,
to karaoke go-to's by Whitney Houston or Aegis,
to dance hits from Zedd or The Pussycat Dolls.
The best ones will have music blasting from subwoofers
underneath the tarpaulin wrapped seats,
in 7-second crossfades,
mashups,
medleys
and remixes.
And though your tapping feet could've taken you farther in the inching Manila traffic,
these jeepneys are sure to take you much further
in a whimsical musical experience.
Playlists.
More fun in the Philippines.
