‘Tatlong Pasada’ on ‘I-Witness’ documentary

More than six decades have passed since the jeepney, a World War 2 leftover vehicle, was modified into a public transport. The jeepney’s robust built and dependability propelled it to the status of being the Philippine’s national transport, a symbol of our culture and ingenuity.

But due to lack of technological innovation, jeepneys are now deemed highly inferior to the trains of the rail way transport system. The LTFRB even announced recently that the number of jeepneys in Metro Manila will be lessened significantly. Is this the start of the jeepney’s eventual demise?

GMA Senior Reporter and award-winning director Cesar Apolinario joins three charming jeepney drivers as they traverse through the busy roads of Luzon and tell amusing stories about life in the fast lane.
From the chaotic streets of Metro Manila to the mountain edges of Benguet, Cesar Apolinario takes on the driver’s seat this Monday midnight in this amazing road documentary “Tatlong Pasada,” airing on “I-Witness” after the late night newscast “Saksi.”
