Als die US-amerikanischen Streitkräfte nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs die Philippinen nach und nach verließen, gaben sie ihre, nun überflüssigen, Militär-Jeeps an die einheimische Bevölkerung ab. Diese bauten die Jeeps mittels Eisenbahnschienen so um, dass mit den so entstandenen Jeepneys mehr Passagiere transportiert werden konnten.
Zusätzlich erhielten die Jeepneys ein Metalldach, um so für Schatten zu sorgen. Gleichzeitig wurden sie häufig kunstvoll bemalt und verziert (vor allem religiöse Motive) und mit glänzenden Kühlerhauben und Radkästen aus Chrom versehen.
Als preisgünstiges Verkehrsmittel erfreuten sich die Jeepneys wachsender Beliebtheit, um damit das Fehlen eines öffentlichen Personen-Nahverkehrs auszugleichen, der nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs nicht existierte. Um dem ungebremsten Wachstum während der letzten Jahrzehnte einen Riegel vorzuschieben, beschloss die Regierung die Zulassung der Fahrzeuge zu beschränken. Unter anderem müssen die Fahrer eine besondere Führerscheinklasse "Professional Driver's License" besitzen, eine reguläre Strecke abfahren und angemessene Fahrpreise erheben. Des Weiteren müssen die Besitzer an einem bestimmten Wochentag, der an der Farbe der Kennzeichen ersichtlich ist, ihre Vehikel in einer dafür vorgesehenen Garage parken.
Generell gilt auf den Philippinen:
* Grüne Kennzeichen (License Plate): Ausschließlich privat genutztes Fahrzeug
* Gelbes Kennzeichen (Busse, Jeepneys, Vans, Motorräder, Tricycles): Zugelassen für Personenbeförderung, häufig als Sammeltaxi im Einsatz
Die heutigen Jeepneys werden professionell in philippinischen Werken hergestellt. Die Verzierungen werden heute u. a. durch Comicmotive ergänzt. Das bekannteste dieser Werke ist Double AA. Sie wurde 1998 gegründet und ist in Besitz von Aristo Hernandez.

This skylight in the Dumaguete Cathedral gives a green glow to the altar area. I was impressed by it's kaleidoscope-like shape.
The Dumaguete Cathedral is the oldest stone church in Negros. It was originally built in 1754, reconstructed in 1885 and extended in 1936. Since then, many modern touches have already been incorporated into the cathedral's interior and exterior. Despite the changes, the cathedral still remains a beautiful sight to behold.
Miss Continent 2023 World costume: Asia
For the first Miss Continent Finale round, "World Costume" Tara as Miss C♛ Asia created a personal vision of the Asian region as a mix of many different cultures.
As it isn't possibly represent every single Asian country of this large and beautiful region, for each of them because of the diversity, we are still all connected by the one "Human Spirit". In her outfit Tara has chosen purples, golds, and whites colors are representing spirituality and higher divinity for the Asian region. In her outfit, you can see elements and styling details that comes from places India, the oriental China, the gorgeous Russia, the calming Japan, and the exotic Thailand.
Tara does not only brings just a well made styling to us, but also brings a powerful and touching message along.
For some time, Gods have been blind. When the Yellow Dragon, a symbol of the Asia region, appears, as a divine a creature that loves the earth so deeply dearly came to them and the blindfold fall from their eyes.
Then they could see now... and cried.
Their tears were a mix of pain and sorrow for the contemplation of human deeds in the world, but they also remembered their love for humanity and an immense forgiveness and hope filled their hearts.
Galaxy Deity holds carefully a beautiful planet Earth in her palm, speaking with humanity to preserve and love all life in Universe, holding then with power, two keys to open doors and choose the right path for the future.
Thank you. Namaste.
Bagan (formerly Pagan) is an ancient city located in the Mandalay Region of Myanmar . From the 9th to 13th centuries, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Pagan, the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern Myanmar. During the kingdom's height between the 11th and 13th centuries, over 10,000 Buddhist temples, pagodas and monasteries were constructed in the Bagan plains alone, of which the remains of over 2200 temples and pagodas still survive to the present day.

More than 100,000 "Asian elephants" may have existed at the start of the 20th century. The population is estimated to have fallen by at least 50% over the last 60-75 years. Major threats are habitat loss, illegal hunting, trade and capture of elephants for domestic use.
