MANILA, March 1 Asia Pulse - The Philippines has formalized the sale of around 4,000 jeepney units to Papua New Guinea, with Guam, India and Vietnam as the next export targets.

Initially, some 1,000 units would have been sent by February, according to Manila Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association chairman Orlando F. Marquez, Sr.

"The rest would be sent within this year, for a total export value of P2.6 billion (US$46.16 million)," he said.

Among the Papua New Guinea officials, who had visited Manila for discussion on the export plan, were Transport Minister Don Pombpoyle, National Land Transportation Board chairman David Opa, National Road Safety Council executive director Robert John Siola, and Land Transportation Division first assistant secretary Ayabian Amm Bannah.

Pombpoyle expressed strong interest in pursuing the jeepney export and the construction of an assembly plant in Papua New Guinea later on, to be run by Filipinos.

He said that Philippine jeepneys would best fit their public transport system given their affordability.
