00:00 And there are also Jeep models that are included in the modernization program.
00:06 That is the story of JM and Sinas.
00:09 JM?
00:10 Brother Kim, a cheap and modernized Pinoy Jeepney.
00:17 This is now being driven by some local Jeepney manufacturers in the middle of the POV modernization program.
00:24 Just like this Jeepney that you see behind me.
00:26 We also rented this Jeepney here in Laurel, Batangas.
00:30 26-seaters, and it can accommodate 10 people.
00:34 The door automatically opens.
00:37 And seniors and persons with disabilities can comfortably sit in it.
00:42 It also meets the Philippine National Standard when it comes to the size and dimensions of the Jeep.
00:46 But the style, design, and design is still very Pinoy.
00:51 This modernized Jeepney is made by a Jeepney manufacturer in Batangas.
00:56 This is better than the first Jeepney we had.
00:59 This is light, the roof is high, and you won't get dizzy when you ride it.
01:05 This Jeepney, currently being used in Batangas, is light,
01:10 the headroom is good, the seats are comfortable, and it is soft.
01:15 It depends on the owner how he will customize this Jeep.
01:19 He can put an aircon, dashcam, and CCTV.
01:24 But this Jeep doesn't have an aircon, but all of us passengers have electric fans.
01:31 Here in Laurel, it is just fine because it is cold here.
01:38 The body of the modernized Jeepney of Mangjun is worth Php 650,000.
01:43 And it is possible to reach Php 1.3 million depending on the machine used.
01:48 Its price is lower than the modern Jeepney units
01:52 that were planned to be imported from China which is Php 2.6 million.
01:56 That's why some lawmakers are supporting the production of local Jeepney manufacturers.
02:01 The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board
02:06 does not know what type and model of Jeepney will be purchased.
02:09 At present, 70% of the franchise in the country is already in the PUV Modernization Program
02:16 according to the Department of Transportation.
02:18 Live from Laurel, Batangas, I am JM Encinas.
02:25 And that is the story of...
02:27 Happy weekend and welcome back, brother Kim.
02:30 Thank you very much, JM Encinas.
