MANILA, Philippines (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) -- Jeepneys trace their roots all the way back to the aftermath of World War 2, when surplus American military jeeps were left behind in the Philippines. These vehicles were extended, reworked, and adapted to carry more passengers, and turned into a form of accessible and distinctly local public transport.
