00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am Kuya Kim and I will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:10There is a jeepney in Leyte that is not only traffic, but also the waves.
00:15This jeepney is sailing in the sea.
00:21The jeepneys are the king of the road.
00:23But there is a jeepney that is sailing in the sea.
00:31This is the water jeepney made by RG.
00:33They made a lot of money.
00:36RG made the water jeepney for 5 months.
00:38Even if I bought a junk jeepney, that is the only design I made.
00:43It still has a battery.
00:44It's just like a jeepney.
00:45We just put an elixir.
00:47It's like cotton.
00:48It can be used by 6 passengers.
00:50But RG said that it won't pass.
00:53We just used it for sightseeing.
00:55I didn't rent it.
00:56And to make it more famous, they plan to upgrade it.
01:00I will change the engine.
01:01And I will make it work in the sea.
01:07Kuya Kim, why do jeepneys become the king of the road?
01:10Kuya Kim, what now?
01:12The jeepneys are not only a symbol of our culture.
01:15It is also a part of the daily lives of many of our countrymen.
01:18Because it is one of the most popular means of public transportation in the country.
01:23That's why it deserves to be the king of the road.
01:26But before there were jeepneys,
01:28during the time of the Americans,
01:29until after the Second World War,
01:32here in the Philippines,
01:33there were so-called auto-kalesas or jeepneys.
01:36These are cheap imported vehicles that served as share taxis at that time.
01:40But after World War II,
01:42most of the American military vehicles were sold to the Filipinos.
01:47They customized them.
01:49They were equipped with a metal roof,
01:50a long rear part,
01:52and a wooden and steel design.
01:54These are the jeepneys that we know today.
01:57Do you know the famous design of jeepneys?
02:07Even before the jeepney modernization program was launched in 2017,
02:10this is how most of the jeepneys we drive look like.
02:14Iconic!
02:15One of the pioneers who remodeled and redesigned the look of jeepneys at that time
02:20was Saraw Motors,
02:21which was owned by Leonardo Saraw.
02:24Leonardo was not the first to alter the jeepneys left by the Americans at that time.
02:28But he was one of those who saw the potential for mass transportation.
02:33He lengthened the rear part so that more people can ride.
02:36And he put a railing on the back and on the top
02:39so that people can sit here and put their belongings.
02:42Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,
