The Jeep is the Philippines most widely used form of public transportation, Originally the jeep was created out the need to create utility vehicles in the Philippines after World War II. It was made from worn out, damaged, junked or old and left behind US Military jeeps after the war.

A closer Look at the Jeep on the left you could read the word "ACE" on the windshield-hood frame; plus on the signboard, in front, above the windshield, you could read the "UP IKOT".
- U.P. meaning the "University of the Philippines", ikot - go around or around.

Basically the Sign means the Jeep's route goes around the U.P. Campus.

When the tricycle was first used as a Philippine transportation vehicle, no one seems to know. A few claim they hadn’t seen the thing before the Japanese time. Many aver tricycles started appearing on the road scene after World War II. Others declare it almost co-existed with the converted GI army jeeps. Accordingly, excess body parts left after the conversions were used to assemble sidecars attached to motorcycles, and thus the “tricycle” that has been known since in Philippine transportation.
