Philippines Exporting Jeepneys

Breaking news. Philippines is now exporting jeepneys (a passenger minibus or truck). Does that mean that Philippines have reached the world class quality of making trucks?

Donsal Motors, a local jeepney manufacturer received an order of at least 2,000 jeepneys for a businessman from Bangladesh and a promise of a couple thousands more if the business goes well.

Philippine jeepneys are great to ride and really affordable to buy. I think one full size jeepney (which has 40 sitting capacity, excluding the front and the roof) is worth PHP400,000 to PHP500,000 Philippine pesos or about $9,000 to $10,000 US dollars.
