Philippine Vehicle Innovation
Last Friday, on our way to Ulm…while flipping Auto Bild magazine, I found a picture which looks so familiar to me. The image was featured under Leserfoto1 column. Underneath was written “Please count: One (!) bicycle with twelve (!) passengers discovered by our reader Dennis Schoof in Manila (Philippines)”.
I want to ride a bicycle…I want to ride a bike.
I can imagine how amused the photographer was as he saw it. O siguro laking mangha niya nang makita niya ito dahil walang ganyang sasakyan dito sa Germany. It can’t be possible too dahil hindi ito lulusot sa TÜV (Technische Überwachungs Verein) 2.
Hehehe, hindi lang nila alam tayong mga Pilipino ay super innovative in different fields. But let us stick to the topic “vehicle innovation”.
What about this one here? Well I think the image below is very common to us. Yon bang may isa o dalawang taong aangkas sa motorsiklo. But you know, in the most outback part of Butuan or maybe some parts of other provinces, where jeepneys only travel once a day…a single motorbike as public transportation is a hit for locals and day-trippers.
Get your motor runnin’ head out on the highway, lookin’ for adventure, and whatever comes our way…
Last but not least, this is something you might have not seen yet. A skylab. Or sky love? I am not really sure of the name, but what the heck. I saw this one on our way to Butuan City last May 2008. I was wondering how passengers got on to it.
The driver needs or requires great balancing act. Di ba? Haven’t experienced riding a vehicle such as this one yet. But I think I’d rather walk than catch a ride on a Skylab. Not because I am maarte, pero natatakot ako na baka ito ay bumalintong. Paano nalang ang aking high heel shoes (charing), my false eyelashes, my whatevah? Ay basta’t akoy maglalakad nalang.
O, anong say niyo sa mga sasakyan sa probinsiya???

Hi, Ms. Bing!
Belated Happy Mother’s Day!!!
The second photo is called “habal-habal” [link]. I used to drive one in Agusan del Norte way back when I was in high school.
The third one is called “Skylab,” that’s right!
Sa pagkakaron, mahadlok na ko mosakay ana. In my personal standard, mas lesser ang risk sa Skylab kesa habal-habal kay naa man gud katig ang Skylab…
happy mother’s day ate beng. asan naman karon ate beng. murag gikalimtan nani nimo ang imong payag hehehe.

dangerous but looks fun – in da prabins yung mga sasakyan nun nakaupo pa sa bubung ang mga pasahero.
Dami dito nga nyan lalo na sa malilit na province. Kasi malaki ang population, kokonti ang sasakyan kaya kelangan patong patong. Ang problema naman sa patong patong, lumalaki lalo ang population hahahaha. Ikot ikot lang yan. Kaya nga cycle pinag uusapan natin lols. Miss you Momski!
I think Odd and I saw a motorcycle with almost 8 passengers when we were in Bohol. He was definitely amazed and at the same time shocked since it’s prone to accidents.
