Jeepney Collection

Over the past months, the Philippines saw an overwhelming number of Filipino Jeepney workers calling for an immediate halt to the unjust implementation of the Public Utility Vehicles Modernization Program (PUVMP).

The Marcos Jr. government has been pushing for a forced consolidation of Jeepneys and set a new deadline of April 30, 2024, despite the vehement protests from workers and commuters nationwide. If continued, this program move effectively coerces individuals to surrender their franchise rights, disproportionately impacting those who cannot afford the exorbitant costs of modernization, thus risking their livelihoods.

The financial burden imposed by the modernization program, with modern Jeepneys priced at over PHP 2 million, is an unfair and unrealistic expectation for drivers and operators who earn an average of just PHP 2,000 (35 USD/49 CAD) per day. This stark contrast in costs places an overwhelming strain on the marginalized and vulnerable sector, further widening the gap of inequity.

The PUVMP caters more to the interests of big business owners, as only those with substantial financial capacity can comply with the requirements. Traditional jeepney drivers, operators, and workers, who provide an essential public service, are left to bear the brunt of this unjust policy.

All sales from items in this collection will donate proceeds to transport movements and organizations in the Philippines, including Piston and Tanggol Pasada Network.To learn more about the impact of the PUV Modernization Program to the Filipino people, check out our blog here and the following resources:

Filipino Jeepney workers are at risk of losing their livelihoods by the end of this month! The new deadline of the PUV Modernization Program (PUVMP) on April 31st is forcing Jeepney drivers and operators to consolidate their jeepneys, coercing them to surrender their franchise rights. This unjust policy disproportionately impacts many of those who can’t afford the exorbitant costs of modernization, with modern jeepneys priced at 2 million pesos.

With this deadline looming, it is imperative more than ever to support the resistance of Filipino transport workers. So, we are bringing you the 'Atin ang Lansangan' zine (The Road is Ours), in support of the Tanggol Pasada Network, a network that fights against the PUVMP and promotes progressive and people-oriented transportation in the Philippines. 100 % of the profits will go towards their work.

In collaboration with Inklusibo, this zine was curated by the Artists Against Jeepney Phaseout, compiling artworks, photographs, and poems from dozens of Filipino artists. We see this art as an offering to Filipinos worldwide, urging all of us to fight alongside Jeepney workers in the motherland.

The Cultural Significance of Jeepneys 

From American remnants of World War II, jeeps or Public Utility Jeepneys have now become a cultural icon and an affordable and essential form of public transportation for more than 40% of commuters in Metro Manila and many provinces. Dubbed the "hari ng kalsada" (king of the road), jeepneys take you where you need to go (and where limited transportation options don't go) with camp designs depicting family members beside religious icons or basketball players, nature scenes, and even anime.

Many Filipinos in the diaspora often use the imagery and fonts of Jeepneys to reconnect with our culture and express our identity. Therefore, we must understand the challenges drivers and operators face in the Philippines and stand in solidarity with them. Learn more about Filipino Jeepney workers' struggles through PISTON's work and this blog.

PISTON has been the leading organization advocating for the #NoToJeepneyPhaseOut campaign and against the PUV Modernization program in the Philippines. They aim to promote and advance the basic demands of Filipino transport workers for decent and stable work, livable income, freedom of association, and all their economic and democratic rights.

15% of the proceeds from this product collection support PISTON's work to promote a just and pro-people Philippine transport system.

Jeepneys are an iconic and valuable form of transportation in the Philippines, crowned as the “King of the Road” It's a wild, lively, and bold creature, adorned with flashy decorations and painted in bright colors, roaring through the streets nationwide. While it may seem chaotic, it perfectly embodies the spirit of the entire nation.

Under the PUV Modernization Program, the government wants to push forward the replacement of traditional jeepneys, including old public utility vehicles (PUVs), with foreign-made modern PUVs that cost Php 2.5 to  2.8 million per unit. The Marcos Jr. government is planning to phase out jeepneys, putting the drivers and citizens who rely on them at risk of losing their jobs and access to transportation. Say No to Jeepney Phase Out!
