The jeepney story was just a Segway just so the post can achieve the desired number of words. I was thinking it would not reach 300 words or more if I would right away tell the legend behind the statue in the heart of our city.... The head of the beheaded chieftain or the Ulo (head) ng (of the) Apo (chieftain) which if you put the words together it would make the word Ulongapo. Then eventually changing the "U" to "O" because the first settlers here were the Aeta tribes before the Spanish arrived in 1884.
But even if the Spanish settled in our city they still named the place Olongapo because of the legend.
I guess they respected the aeta tribes...
Haha, the GI joe's tales of the yellow jeep!☺️☺️
