A sign on a jeepney plying Pasig City amused Filipinos due to its misspelling of the Filipino word for “bridge.”
A Facebook user on Wednesday, April 29, posted a photo of a traditional jeepney’s dashboard which featured a signage “ROSARIO TWO LIE.”
It was supposed to read “Rosario Tulay,” or the Rosario Bridge, a landmark in Pasig that is among the busiest, with vehicles from the city and nearby provinces using it to access Metro Manila.
“Two truths en,” the Facebook user wrote in the “How’s your byahe, bes?” group.
The caption references the phrase, “Two truths and a Lie,” a game in which one person shares three statements: two true and one is made up while others guess the false one.
The photo of the misspelled jeepney signage has amassed over 11,000 laugh reactions, along with humorous remarks from Filipinos.
“Hindi one, hindi three, kundi two lang,” a Facebook user wrote.
“I love the way two lie,” another quipped, referencing Rihanna’s song “Love the Way You Lie.”
“Sakto, pababa na lang po sa Rosario two lie,” a different Pinoy wrote.
“The byahe is getting two truths en…” another said.
Jeepneys and other public utility vehicles display signage on their windshields to indicate the routes they pass during their trips. This serves as a guide for commuters in deciding whether to board the vehicle.
The signage usually refers to landmarks familiar to both commuters and drivers—points where passengers can alight and where drivers can stop to drop off or pick up riders.
