About this audiobook
The Glass Jeepney is a searing, soulful journey through the neon-drenched streets of Manila, where identity is a performance and silence is the cost of survival. This isn't a generic tale of hiding; it’s a nuanced exploration of the "double life" told through three colliding souls.
Paolo, the high-powered executive, wears his Barong Tagalog like armor to satisfy his traditional Catholic mother while haunting the shadows of BGC. Angelo, a nursing student from the provinces, navigates the gritty "U-Belt," terrified that his dreams will shatter if his truth is spoken. And Zaza, a defiant drag queen in Malate, serves as the bridge between their worlds—a shimmering blade of authenticity in a city of masks.
From the incense-heavy pews of Santa Ana to the sweat-slicked stages of Orosa, their stories intertwine to reveal the high stakes of being queer in a metropolis that loves the spectacle but recoils from the man. It is a story of breaking the glass.
