The Philippine Jeepney...

actually mga sir...ang mga jeep nami dito sa Cagayan de Oro have Isuzu eagle for their engines....for a jeep around 2tons plus passenger weight of not going over 1.5tons....that power under the hood is overkill....jeep here can run around 100-110..... yung iba diskbrake ang front....care of canter surplus parts from japan......and yes sir...power steering na ang mga bagong labas na jeep dito....as a prof nga eh they put yung parang sa forklift na handle para madaling makaliko....one hand pagliko the other hand pag shift ng gears.....

yan ang mga jeep sa city....

when it comes to provincial routes...especially yung papuntang bukidnon....you will find there jeeps with 6d15-6d18 for there engines... and around 30 seating capacity....and a full airbrake system.....kaso lang they are not embellish for the looks....para sa kanila, mass maraming sakay, mass malaki ang kita.....

IMHO, correction.

Its more like, its just a prime example why the Pinoy native auto industry only is not progressing and not the Filipino per se.

Nope, it is the Filipino. Just compare our (lack of) development compared to our asian neighbors like Indonesia and Thailand.

The Filipino. The "pinoy" way of thinking is all and good when dealing with people but it is also so short sighted. We quickly forget the lessons learned by our grand parents and parents. This would include all facets of our lives including family, politics, business/economics, transport, social development, etc.

Yes, probably.

So, may I humbly ask if you have solutions in your mind to improve our situation? Say our family, business and economics, transport and social development...
