Yeah! He doesn't start off like most RU-vidrs: "HEY! What's up everyone? Mr. BulBul here with another episode. Today we're going to check out my good friend's restaurant here in Makati!" That gets predictable and annoying.
Safety,capacity and convenience ang mga major concerns para sa modernization ng jeepneys. Etong mga lumang jeep ay hindi ligtas, isa lang ang entrace at exit, walang pang emergency. Mas malaki capacity = lesser jeeps sa kalsada. So hindi lang environmental ang concerns sa pag modernize ng jeeps.
@@aidz814ify Sadly financial is also a factor. Implementing these jeepneys would cost more than the billions of pesos that was approved for the project.
Meron naman e jeep na mukhang jeep tlga.. Classic ones siguro sa province kasi maraming puno duon so ndi masyadong mag popollute dun.. But Manila kailangan na tlga ma modernized lahat ultimo trike at bus
No it's not because the government wants the safety and the comfort of the passenger and the driver,but yes the look of the modern jeepney is rubbish,so that's a little bit of a good suggestion....
Its actually so cool and refreshing to see someone who has knowledge about this area, albeit from another culture, be interested enough to look deeper into jeepneys.
Jeepney history: the jeepney was up-cycled from leftover U.S. Willy Jeeps used during World War II. In the early 1950s, jeepneys began making their rounds in Manila. Soon, they became a solution to the post-war public transportation problem. One of the early jeepney producers was Sarao Motors. They began making the vehicles in 1953 and quickly shot to the top of the production ranks, recognized for quality output. They also contributed to the framing of the jeepney as a Philippine cultural icon. Another great video from Mr bulbul sharing the history of Jeepney in the Philippines.
This my first time to watch a foreigner reviewing jeepney. So good to know that you are interested not only in alcohol 😂. Very much appreciated Mr. Bulbul.
Its just a copy from U.S. military jeep(inspired) 95percent of jeepneys engine are japanese made(second hand diesel engine). In every jeepneys paper records nakalagay na brand is JITNEY😊. You are the first korean who vlog about pinoy jeepney! Sorry for my english grammar😂
Pero ang history ng jeep eh mismong jeep ng American military na naiwan dito sa Pilipinas tapos inupgrade ginawang pampasahero pero nung time na yun apat apat lang ata pwedeng isakay kasi maliit pa pero time past inupgrade ng inupgrade hanggang sa naging ganyan na itsura mahaba na
Am also agreeing on the "maintain the classical look" of Pilipino jeep as we move forward in making an environment friendly passenger vehicles. thanks mr. bulbul for the appreciation.
My late father-in-law used to own several jeepneys back in the day. He and his drivers assembled his jeepneys, mostly. While I do not know what type of engine that jeepney has (from just looking at it), my late father-in-law used Isuzu diesel engines. Either the 4BA1 or the 4BC1. Your review brought back a lot of fond memories to me. So, thank you.
@3:23 it is not a starter , it was an alternator (battery charging system ) with vacuum pump hose that goes to brake vacuum cylinder .i also believe that the engine model is a Isuzu c221 or C240 Diesel engine . 😊
First time I saw a youtube video with actual specs of a vehicle I see and ride in almost everyday. Thanks for the fresh perspective Mr. Bulbul! Kinda sad that by next year these old school jeepneys may no longer be around. Saludo sa mga jeepney drivers sa lansangan!
Thank you for giving such conclusion on keeping the jeepney's appearance because it really carries our heritage and culture that is somehow unique... Salamat sa pagkakaroon ng pusong Pinoy! (Thank you for having a Pinoy heart)
I've been saying that since they said they'll replace the old jeepneys, keep the outside, change the inside, if not, maybe still allow art to be painted outside the modern versions so at least a part of the old jeepneys will be passed
The engines are usually isuzu sourced 4BJ1, 4BE1, 4BC2 2.0l to 2.5l from ELF series light and medium trucks, and that pump is indeed for power steering, not a starter.
Jeepney is really a part of Filipino culture, I have used jeepney's countless times going to school and going to work. It's been a part of my life. I am happy that you got a chance to drive it Mr. Bulbul and even made a review of it even and yes I think you are the first youtuber that I have seen that made a review of a jeepney and a tricycle.
You are such a kind person I watched the video when you visited the graveyard of you mother in law. I was moved when you have to do the traditional Korean way of respecting the dead. More blessings to you!
that is most probably an alternator with a vacuum pump at the rear. the vacuum pump is for the brake booster (diesel engines does not have a throttle plate, hence no vacuum for the brake booster) new jeepney engines are usually mitsubishi/fuso (japan surplus canter) 4dr5/4dr6 , isuzu engines (japan surplus elf) 4ba1 etc. these are 2.7-2.8L in displacement.
Yes but in addition to environmental concerns there are other issues that the government has to consider when thinking of the future, like public safety and even traffic flow. Mass transport has to be safe and I'm sure jeepneys don't have the right safety features like crumple zones, forward seating, etc.
@@eatabagel crumple zone? sa tingin mo ba matibay yung modern na ineendorso nila? subukan mong magpunta sa pagawaan nyan, fiberglass mould lang yung kaha. kapag walang pintura halos silhouette nang kita. pukpukin mo butas. alin ang mas matibay, bakal o manipis na fiberglass mould?
There are also other variations of jeepney design Mr. Bulbul. In the Visayas and Mindanao regions, they modify the body and mimic the heads and the bumpers of famous SUVs. They look like customized Ford Fieras. While in Luzon, they maintained the classic semi stainless jeepney look and the most popular engine is the ever reliable 4DR5 Engine.
wholesome video right here, I didn't know you are a car mechanic Mr. BulBul; I'm studying Mechanical Engineering here in the Philippines. in the history of Jeepney in the Philippines; During the Post-war period, Filipinos are highly skilled to Reverse Engineering. As you notice in urban/rural places there is no common "brand" used in jeepney, unlike other countries which is known for their cars. Philippine Jeeps are competing with each other, because all parts came from scraps *due to the poverty and streetsmart of Filipino*. One of the iconic jeeps are Sarao and Morales Motors. if you have ever seen a jeep with a miniature horse in front; it's Sarao, if it's a Trumpet its Morales.
"can't they just keep the appearance of the car and just change the engine?" That's exactly what I wanted to happen, but sadly, businessmen will always win
nakakita ako ng fb ad about isuzu trucks. ang pumukaw ng atensyon ko ay yung QKR77. ito yung body ng modern jeep ng isuzu which cost P2,350,000 kapag inoffer na sa mga coops and jeepney associations na magmo-modernize ng kanilang mga units. nakakagulat dahil ang dealer price na nasa ads ay P1,446,000 lamang. may difference sila na 904,000. hindi naman siguro aabot ng 900k kung idadagdag natin ang overhead air con unit, cctv, wifi router, gps, led signboard and automatic fare collection system diba? so ang malaking tanong, bakit ipinipilit ng DOTr na kumuha ang mga coops ng (ready made) modernized truck na yan sa napakalaking halaga? bakit hindi yung QKR77 ang ipakuha then i-outsource yung ibang dagdag installations? i don't think aabot ng 200k ang mga karagdagan dyan pero sige lagyan na natin ng pasobra, 300k na. 904k vs 300k? meron bang namomorsyento sa kontrata kaya ipinipilit yung mga sasakyang yan? kayo na humusga...
Your right Mr. BulBul i like them to keep the appearance just make it e-jeep, anyway your the first RU-vidr to review a Jeepney and im glad to see it :)
I think its a 2,500 cc. Thank you for mr bulbul for having this kind of interest for my country's heritage i bet u even searched about jeepney. Sadly, my fellow pinoys dont have the same interest, and now they are being swayed to other countries trend. Keep it up
Actually sir, you will even if it will be 30 years later or more. Some of the classics will be restored and fitted with a new, more environmental friendly diesel engines.
@@nelsonfavedra the problem is, the jeepney modernization movement issued by the government is made only for the benefit of the businessmen's profit. modernization may happen without the expense of drivers losing their job. development is not measured by new and improved cars or infrastructures rather, a development which would not leave out the poor and the marginalized.
Pwede nman iModernize ang mga jeep, keep lng yung aesthetics.. tingnan mo yung thailand known for it's tuktuks kht foreigners un yung nilolook forward nila maExperience
That’s exactly the same question I have in mind.. it would be better if the govt will keep the same appearance, as it is unique and can only be found in Phils.but upgrade the engine and fare system.
Sir Bulbul...the history of jeepney in the Philippines started after the WWII. The jeepneys brought by the Americans during the war which were left behind was remodeled to have a bigger passengers...i think it was 5 each on each side...so 10 plus 2 passengers in front. A total of 12...(as i have seen from the pictures of my parents with jeepneys in early 1950s. Oh yes, my parents experienced the atrocity of the war. ) Filipinos are very resourceful. Everything we see, we put a use of it than discard it. So these US jeepneys...remember the military green jeep used in war? Those were remodeled by the Filipino people after war to make it a transportation method for the general public. And from then, history was made. From post war jeepneys to present, jeepneys have evolved. But still uses 2nd hand machines or motors. The body of the jeep was the only one being built here in the Philipines...and not the internal part...i dont know whats the term of that. Evwrything inside it is a surplus mostly from Japan
PH jeepneys have a very sturdy build that it has outlived other public utility vehicles in the '80s, '90s and '00s. Most jeepneys on the Metro are built around the '90s to '00s.
Actually the idea of changing only the engine has been thought about and discussed so to preserve the historical aesthetics of classical jeepney, but aside for the environmental issues, these classical jeepney's are not designed to comply our modern road safety standards. Good content Mr. Bulbul :)
3:30 Power steering pump usually has high and low pressure line. It is hard to say from the vid in this case but it sure grabbed my interest when he said "starter".
Thanks for expanding your interest to more than just the PH drinks Mr. Bulbul. I really appreciate that you turned your attention to other things. Next tricycles!
The somber music at the end + the text about the jeepneys going extinct made me sad. I'm a filipino, but I didn't know they were subjected for decommission in 2020.
Be reminded that the body of jeep are made in philippines, but the engine and other materials such axle and other under chassis are source or second hand from other countries like Japan.. Philippine jeep are innovation from old US military jeep.
The history of Jeepneys were from world war 2. But the jeepneys now were built by local companies specifically for passenger jeepney. They buy surplus chassis and reconditioned engines from Japan, then locally manufacture the body
Mr. Bulbul these are the specs of a ISUZU Diesel engine that is commonly installed in a JEEPNEY: The 4BD1/4BA1/4BC2 is a 3.9L direct injection diesel sold in Isuzu ELF trucks as well as marine and industrial applications from 1979. Power output varied. 1979 models had 64 kW (87 PS; 86 hp) @3200rpm, 1988 models had 83 kW (113 PS; 111 hp) at 3200 rpm 270 N⋅m (200 lb⋅ft) at 1900 rpm.
mr. bulbul, it was a WW II Willys Jeep. after WW II they modify it to make a passenger vehicle. the designer was Mr. Leonardo Sarao. Willys Jeep name "JEEP" to "JEEPNEY"
They had to change the design, not just the engine, because it is actually inconvenient for the elderly, pregnant women and people with disabilities to get in and out of the jeepney. Also, it is safer if the door is on the side rather than the back. The jeepney is an icon but safety and convenience come first.
"Can't they just keep the appearance of the car and just change the engine?" That is a good suggestion, since those old model type jeepneys will be phased out i think next year? Worst is Jeepney drivers will be affected too.
The old buses in Malta which I managed to ride on before they were phased out reminded me of the Jeepney and old buses in the Philippines. I hope that jeepneys will still be around for public transport but they must change to more environmentally friendly source of energy and materials like those in England and Malta.
Some of the old jeepneys were powered by Isuzu C190,C240, Fuso 4DR5 But recently jeepneys are using a bit huge engine like Isuzu 4BA1 .( 2.8L -above) I enjoyed watching this review. 😎👍❤
Best solution to preserve filipino jeepney is màntain the external look Just redesign or upgrade the interior and engine. Thanks mr. Bulbul for uour concern and honest review.
We have a 1967 jeepney in wife family, and a neighbor has a 1956 one. They are the oldest ive seen. The 1967 was extended 20 inches when it got a new frame in 2002. Ive never seen a 1000cc, smallest I've seen is a 2200 Isuzu diesel. I'm having a new one built in manila and it will have both power steering and air con. Some are even being built now with automatic transmission. The ones producing a lot of black smoke there are called 'belchers' and are forbidden in many places. One reason I'm building a new one, so it can go anywhere. They really are the most practical things to drive in Philippines, but for just the wife and I we still prefer a SUV. Grin. As too your final question, yes, mine will have modern engine and is allowed for personal use anywhere and old ones will run in provinces for many more years carrying passengers.
I doubt that it was an 80's model. First jeepney for mass transportation was first produce here in Las Piñas by Sarao Motors. Old model jeepneys usually short. That jeepney i think was 90s model or mid 90s.
that jeep is kinda new. its just it will be phase out because of regulation. but that jeep has some years still left in it. it has stainless parts in it so thats kinda new really old jeepney doesn't have stainless in it. really old jeepneys mostly you can see them nowadays in some old rural town that is not yet really develop. that type of jeep is only 8-10 seater. a little shorter than that one with horse on the hood.
Fun fact: Jeepneys are used as a multi purpose vehicles in the philippines. Specialy in what some people call the "up land" municipalities. They use it mainly as a public transport but it is also used for hauling construction materials like sand, rocks, cement, etc. Also, compared to the Jeepneys in the cities or in the "lowlands", Jeepneys in the upland uses much bigger engine to be able to account for the heavy load and the steep angle of the road and it is much more elevated to the ground. They also have what they call "top load", where they have a thing on the top so they can put more load and passengers. You can also watch them in action here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WJ4zxxyOYd0.html
I just think jeepneys is such an icon in filipino culture...it will stay somehow, maybe not here in the metro but along provincial routes...im also for pollution control measure so the old diesel engine should go and the more efficient or atleast euro4 engines replace those smoke belching engines for the sake of lungs...
If you want to see a very old fashion jeepney go to SARAO motors, there you can see one of the oldest model of jeepney i think it is , a ww2 surplus jeepney display at their shop.
Old jeepneys and its engine that were used are all in museums and collectors. First jeepneys used for commute are really from WWII but was then bid and purchased cause of its significance to Philippine culture and history. I saw one before and it wad restored and still in a really good condition.
The oldest passenger jeepney was built in 1950s and its located here in my area. 😁 short history on ph jeepney was made out of old parts military jeeps during ww2.
Mostly the engine of Jeepney is a Surplus from Japan..🎌🎌but the body parts all are manufactured in Philippine..with different jeepneymakers..like Sarao..Francisco ..Lawin..and a lot 🚍🚍🚚🚚🚚🚐🚐
I guess there is something I would clarify to you sir, actually there are jeepneys at Makati area. There are 2 types of jeepney in Makati, the one you reviewed and the E-Jeep.
My thoughts exactly, keep the iconic look albeit give it a modern touch sort of like how the grill and the headlights of the modern Jeep (especially the Wrangler) still resemble the old WWII Jeeps.
You can still see an old Model that is near WWII copy.. in Guadalupe Makati Ibabaw, look for Jeeps that are short and has the Manufacturer’s name “Sarao” they are the first to reproduce Jeepneys after WWII.
To add @MrBulbul you can date Jeepneys by their passenger Capacities.. after WWII jeepneys has 10 passenger capacities 5 persons each side and the roof back then is tent material (lona). Years after they add the capacity to 12-14 passengers, in the 1980’s- 1990’s passenger capacity increased by 9 each side. In the late 1990’s and early 2000 they in creased by 10 each side and the ones that are popular until now can have 12 each side, which I believed were limited by the Government because it is very long and can take up too much space in the streets of Manila. Haha!
Mr. Bulbul jeepney first manufactured by sarao as the old willis jeep used by the american soldier in the phillippines but after mid 70s most japan engine was imported from japan to upgrade the philippine jeep if u want to see old heep as u want go to las pinas at sarao factory they have displayed.
Jeepney phase out is causing a problem here in the Philippines every now and then there is a transport strike in all over the philippines cause jeepney drivers can't afford to buy or lease a new one. But im a big fan of mr.bulbul i watch your every vlogs. When you comeback here in the Philippines try to check the Sarao Jeepney Museum there you will see the real WW2 4 seater jeep and they will show you how they create a jeep. More power to you Mr.Bulbul and Godbless.
About only changing the engine and keeping the appearance, the government wants people to board the vehicle from the side instead of the back for safety purposes, that's why the modern "jeepneys" that will replace these classical ones have doors on the side instead of the back. Mr. Bulbul I think in this video you are in Bulacan because in one of your videos you mentioned that your wife is from Bulacan, but if you go to provinces further from Manila, jeepneys still allow people on the middle and also on the roof. I experienced that when I backpacked in Bohol, they even transported live goats on the roof of the jeepney, with people. So yes, 30 is possible, but illegal. But yeah in the far provinces, there are no police to apprehend violators, hehe.
