Calamba

Jimmy Paco, an amiable electrical engineer from Calamba, Laguna, was an OFW (Saudi) who came home and invested his hard-earned savings on the family business - Jeepney and AUV assembly. His father was a jeepney driver who decided to fabricate the thing. Paco Motors rose to be a major player among Southern Tagalog jeepney makers, and is among the few surviving shops today. In 2006, Disenyo Pilipino visited him and he readily agreed to fabricate DPROX designs. He is also open to giving friendly advice to the Tsikot Design and Research Forum. He is shown here entertaining a client who wants his wrangler fitted with a hard top. Jimmy shows him some of the stuff they built.
