One of the most common ways of public transportation in the Philippines that could carry many passengers at a time following a respective route is thru the pee-peep---"JEEPNEYS".

Here are the ways on how to get off (esp. for the foreigners):

1. You can say “Para po” or “Sa Tabi lang po” (Please pull over, I’m getting off here). And if the driver can't hear or didn't heard you, most of the time another nearer passenger says this "Para daw" so don't worry.

2. You can tap or knock the jeepney’s roof or ceiling either using your hands more than once or with the use of a coin (just to make a sound).

3. From my observation, some passengers whistled especially the guys but it's not a normal one. (I'm not sure how they do it loudly) They can make a sound by compressing the lips' muscles and hmm.. letting air barely go through producing a loud squeaking sound.

4. a. Other jeepneys have a sign like this “Hila mo, Hinto ako”- literally, it means “You pull, I stop” but actually you need to pull a string. You can easily figure it out when you are inside, you can notice a string in the middle along the roof/ceiling and just pull it down when you want to get off.

b. Others not using a string but a button and says like this “Pindot mo, Hinto Ako” which means, “Press the button, then I will stop”

5. If there’s a conductor, just tell him where you want to get off and he will take care of the rest…(a conductor is someone who gets the payment and usually hangs onto the back of the jeepney, waves or shout to attract the riders)

6. If you are lucky, without saying a word. How? If your fellow passengers have the same destination with yours, let them do the trick.. just go with them when they get off.

HAPPY TRIP AND ENJOY! BE SAFE! :)
