Built in 1964, this original SARAO jeepney was originally brought over as part of a Philippine exhibit from 1998-2007. Jeepneys are rapidly disappearing in the Philippines and this rare historic cultural icon has now come to San Diego. Restoration efforts are being made so this can be made available for display at special events, private parties, and eventually offering short distance tours of San Diego's Filipino American community sites.
Join us for upcoming events, from community gatherings to special occassions. We can't wait to see you there.
