Jeepney Diaries
About: AIESEC-Ateneo’s Explore Philippines
“Explore Philippines” is a project conceptualized, developed, and implemented by Explore Philippines Organizing Committee of AIESEC Ateneo de Manila with its on-going mission to popularize the Philippine tourism industry to both foreigners and locals.
The project strives to accomplish this through a dedicated documentation process achieved by eager and enterprising foreign AIESEC trainees assessed, selected, and facilitated by members of Ateneo AIESEC.We are constantly searching for exchange participants who have excellent written and oral English skills, a creative, charismatic and sociable character, a willingness and vigor to explore and maximize a uniquely different culture, and a high-level of reliability and competency when assigned with tasks.
This documentation is expressed and manifested in the form of pictures, videos, reviews, blog entries, and other forms of media and self-expression concerning their personal exploits and travels of the many different aspects of the Philippine culture; both the cultural, and the modern alike. Over the course of 6 weeks, the applicants express and convey their own unique personal experiences and viewpoints as tourists in the Philippines, and then subsequently post and share these experiences under the website named: “www.JeepneyDiaries.ph”.
The title “Jeepney Diaries” conveys several nuances expressing exploration, documentation, personal journeys, and a unique and authentic Philippine experience that Ateneo hopes all of its foreign applicants experience, and subsequently convey to others. The idea of a “Diary” itself is synonymous to personal documentation, and the Philippine “Jeepney” has become very popular as a symbol of the colorful and uniquely Filipino culture (further emphasized as our website logo).

This weekend some of us went to Batad and Banaue.
Beautiful rice terraces, trekking to waterfalls and riding on the top of a jeepney made the weekend a wonderful escape from a city life.

Chocolate Hills - one of the most famous Bohol's tourist attractions.
1776 hills are covered in green grass that turns brown during the dry season.
Bright, beautiful and unusual Chocolate Hills will remain in our memories forever.

Street food in the Philippines is just amazing!
The day we went to try out local street foods made our bellies happy and satisfied.
We especially enjoyed Ice-cream, which is called Dirty Ice-Cream here - a desert made at home and being sold by street vendors.

Twoo weeks in Manila and we're already in love with Jeepneys - the kings of the roads here in the Philippines!
Combining "jeep" and "jitney" (share taxi), there comes a new word "Jeepney" - the most popular mean of public transportation in the country.
Jeepney is definitely one of the symbols of Filipino creativity!

A float at the Lantern Parade of the University of the Philippines, Diliman. This photo was taken in December of last year. The parade is an annual nighttime event, each time with different themes. The 2010 theme was marine life--to promote awareness and action towards saving and maintaining our country's natural marine resources.

Filipinos will find any occasion to sing!
Rockeoke is a trending pasttime among yuppies. The event is usually held in a restobar and includes a live band with a list of songs to choose from. They play the songs and you front the band, belting out on stage in front of a relatively large crowd. If you have dreams of becoming a rock star, this is the way to live it.
