The Jeepney

Chris Tiu is in The Jeepney. Get your copy of Volume 5.

http://www.thejeepney.com/issues.html

"The Jeepney Magazine" is a Filipino publication produced by the Urban Opportunities for Change, Foundation Inc.

The Jeepney Magazine has two main goals:

The first is the presentation of the stories and hearts of the Filipino poor. It is our intent to communicate the needs, struggles and more importantly, the victories in the midst of those struggles, of homeless people, to an audience that can make change happen.

The second is the provision of jobs, with dignity, meeting or exceeding the Philippine minimum wage. The provision of jobs, is modeled by the over two hundred autonomous street papers in the world today. The vendors of these papers receive fifty to ninety percent of the papers cover price. If the magazine sells @ P100, about 50 to 90 pesos goes to the vendor as his/her income and the remainder is retained for the expenses incurred in the publishing of the magazine.

- The JEEPNEY

I believe there was a vendor in Eastwood but I heard he might be transferring to Glorietta. I'll try to find out more details myself.

.looks like a very Pinoy article.
.i like the 2 main goals of it.
.it talks about the primary problems our country is facing.
.reading it will surely open the eyes and hearts of many Filipinos to strive for the progress of our country.
.your presence in THE JEEPNEY will attract more people to read this article.

Hello Chris,
Glad to know that you'll be present on the PBL's opening. I was supposed to watch but then I had to presume, well for some main reasons.

Anyways, where could we buy a copy of jeepney magazines? anywhere in the country ba?
Like national bookstore or maybe magazine stand or in the link that you have posted. Anyways I'm gonna look for it to grab a copy knowing how much, never mind.

Just a request. Could you greet the tiunatics society in your fanatxt if you just looove to do it. We would love to see it..

We'll still gonna be keep posted on your updates.

We really look up to you and your good examples...

-Bianca

ei, would like to invite you..

if ever u got nothing to do.

if u enjoy photography and a bit of informal rhyme...drop by..

http://jeklog.blogspot.com/

most of it are street photography..

but generally random thoughts.

it aims to raise "kamalayang kalye" and to make people feel a bit fortunate about their lives compared to those i frame.

don't worry, I'm sure to get a copy. Hope they have one in Glorietta though. :)

Thanks chris for promoting the jeepney. Check out their website to see where you could buy the magazines. As posted, the beneficiaries themselves are the ones selling so you won't see this in the usual magazine stands.

jz take care and don't forget to rest...wag puro work...GOD BLESS!!!

Hi Chris, My name is Reah. I work for the Jeepney Magazine. Thank you for agreeing to be our celebrity for our latest issue. I just want to answer some questions on where and how to get a copy of the Jeepney Magazine. From April 22 to May 5 we will be at Robinsons Metro East L2 near Info Booth. In Intramuros, look for our vendors near Starbucks, MAPUA, PLM, Letran. In UP Diliman look for our vendor in Shopping Center parking area. We will be in Trinoma on May 18 to 31. On Sat, we will be in La Salle Greenhills for the Homeless Football Festival which we are organizing. We are still waiting for Glorietta and Eastwood. Hope this could help. Email us at reah@thejeepney.com for more info.

Jeepney is part of the Filipino culture already. In fact, they made it more interesting by installing novelty horns. (annoying to some though) if you want to hear some of their weird sounding horns, go to http://www.onehundredjeepneysounds.com/
