The Jeepney modernization program is a long due needed action by the government in its commitment of ensuring life and safety of the riding public under the principle that these commercial passenger vehicles shall be in accordance and in conformity with engineering standards and safety required therein.
The program must be implemented definitely, yet there are questions, and factors needed to conform conditions prior the program should be set in motion, that is, to give birth to our own auto motor industry.
The Jeepney phase out program can be the opportunity to start the industry that will support the phase out program yet save and even promote more industrialization, and saving our foreign reserves and generate the economy.
It must not be costly and painful, rather, it must give benefits and produce more earnings for the government and solving unemployment as result.
What was shown recently is that Japanese brands are involved in the the phase out, it will give benefits to foreign companies instead for Filipino. The idea here is to get prepared, and make use of the phase out program that should turn comprehensive. If it may need congressional enactment to put up a Filipino Auto Manufacturing that will answer the phase out, that solely will realize the needed migration of vehicles towards standard and pure Filipino content must be done accordingly.
Though the situation is difficult to start the modernization of our auto industry, we can accomplish them through partnerships that will eventually lead to technology transfer later on. Then, after that, and progressively, we can go solo after know how is acquired, which is very possible.
The issue of imported capital goods becomes the problem in managing the fall of the peso, thus jeepney phase should be based on a 100 percent Philippine components, due to majority of them is assembled here made of offshore components.

Under the Filipino brand of auto makers, we can support the phase out program without pain of losing foreign reserves.
On big question about the plight of our jeepney owners and drivers are their condition of financial capabilities that the recent offer of the government of equity program are deemed difficult for them, thus, the offer becomes too stiff and unreasonable considering that the majority is operating their vehicles under boundary system. If the government can the same absorb the situation based only on their abilities to acquire through this daily boundary system, there might be a win-win solution to the problem.
The implementation of the phase out should not be abrupt, as this will cause adverse effects on driver owners of their vehicles, it should be gradual and progressive in the process.
Jeepney modernization program could provide better transportation

After effects also is the lowering of the cost of these automobiles for passengers made by the 100 percent Filipino content of these cars and vehicles will greatly contribute to the economy of the country as it will spur growth on the manufacturing and industrial sector through employment and increase commerce.
