Travel in style with the Guimaras Express

Known for having the sweetest mangoes in the world, the island of Guimaras capitalizes on this fruit to boost its image to tourists. So it's no wonder, why this fruit became the motif when Gov. Felipe Nava requested a custom made mode of transport to be used by the Capitol to ferry guests to and from various attractions on the island.
Our group was fortunate enough to have been accommodated in this stylish jeepney of our way to Camp Alfredo. The jeep can seat 13 people comfortably (not including the driver) but can go maximum with 18. It even has a space at the back to put some bulky thing that may take up the leg room.The seat covers, ceiling, exteriors and interiors play with a lot of mangoes (both green and yellow) that you'll feel the sweetness of it during the travel. This jeepney was specially built be Pasajero Sosyal industries of Pavia, Iloilo (as the sign said) and small wonder since the company is known to make stylish jeepneys back in Iloilo. You explain, they design and make. Just like a mango, the jeepney hue plays from green to yellow. Actually there are two of these jeepneys, this one having yellow as the majority color. The other one goes green.

The islands fresh air is apt for this kind of "al fresco" travel experience not to mention an attraction into itself. A very goof tourism related project of the office of the Governor that will surely be emulated in many parts of the country.
