    personally, hindi ko maisip kung ano... but from what ive read from the replies... mukang tama yung jeepney. does not want progress, pinoys stick to what they know will work and does not bother with innovation.

    ^ The "Innova" doesn't help either

    Me too, hindi ko maisip kung anong best analogy. The ricer sounds valid also, because we all know a lot of Pinoys are very self-conscious of their "image" but some just get too self-conscious that it skews their perspective on things

    I disagree with the pedicab. Somalia, Liberia and Rwanda yan.

    Now, decades later, we're still stuck with the same old jeepney. Unwilling to change, unwilling to look forward from the past, and dying a slow death of obsolesence in a rapidly changing global marketplace.

    hehe... I like this answer sir niky. :2thumbsup:

    or a Jeep with all the ricey stuffs including, whistle turbo sound effects in the exhaust and thinks it can beat a Honda fanboy. hehe... mabilis daw yung jeep dahil sa lakas ng hangin habang nakasakay.

    A Ford Taurus. Why? I dunno. Every time I think of a car and the Philippines, a Taurus comes to mind.
