Jeeps, jeepneys are ubiquitous in the PHL society. Jeepneys are still the major means of mass transportation in the PHL although they are polluting and cause many traffic problems. In some remote towns, Jeeps with heavy duty 4x4 or even 6x6 weapons carrier diffs are used. They come with winch in case it rains. I have seen these type of vehicles in logging and mining towns.
But for modern cities, I think jeepneys usefulness has ceased and must be replaced by more comfortable and fuel efficient, less polluting new vehicles, like the plan to have vans (with 18 pax capacity) as new means of commute.
Elsewhere CJ, Jeeps are used for recreation

Another version of the jeep history
I used to an officer (Trustee and Secretary) of the Land Rover Club of the Philippines. This site recalls and relives the past 4x4 offroading experiences. About my experience with Range Rover, Defender and the classic. Land Cruisers - series 40 and series 80. Renegade with SD 33 Nissan engine - the best. We now use for daily use a Subaru Forester. | Land Rover | Range Rover | Renegade | 4x4 | Defender 110 | Jeep | CJ2 | CJ3 | CJ8
