Hi there, fellow wanderlust!      As you go traveling from one point to another (especially upon riding public transportations), please do keep in mind that you are protected of your own rights, and as a passenger, you are bound to be shielded away from danger by your common carrier.      A Common carrier, per se is defined by  Article 1732 of the Civil Code of the Philippines  as "persons, corporations, firms or associations engaged in the business of carrying transporting passengers or goods or both, by land, water or air for compensation, offering their services to the public."

Examples of these are: Jeepneys, Tricycles, Public busses and vans, trains, taxis, airplanes, and the like.  Image Source:  https://i.pinimg
