Cagayan del Oro, Mindanao
A driver stands by his jeepney, parked outside a shopping center. Jeepneys are a cheap form of public transportation in the Philippines, and were originally made from jeeps left behind at the end of World War 2. Today, they are made from scratch, and are often elaborately painted by their owners, the drivers.
