UNITED Kingdom-base television show "By Any Means" (BAM) traveled the Philippines using rare transport vehicles.

BAM adventurer Charley Booman, with cameraperson Paul Mungeam, planned a 10-day trip starting from Davao to Manila to experience the country's creative means of transportation and to see the diversity and beauty of each region.

With the Department of Tourism (DOT), the crew rode a skylab, a motorcycle that's been modified to accommodate more than two passengers, to MalayBalay where they transferred to a fruit truck to reach Cagayan De Oro.

From there, the group took a SuperCat to Camiguin and hopped on to a navy boat to Bohol. Going to Cebu, they took another SuperCat then hitched a military chopper that took them to Ormoc.

Booman's group then rode a public bus to Tacloban where they visited the Leyte Landing. From Palo, they took a Jega spider cab, the local taxi in Leyte Province, to Basey.

After, they rode a fish truck that brought them from Calbayog to Allen, Samar where they boarded a Roll-on Roll-off (Ro-Ro) ferry to Sorsogon.

Traveling to Legazpi, the crew rode a rescue ambulance and then scooters to Camarines Sur until they reached Quezon province.

From Calauag town, they took a railroad trolley, a four feet by eight feet boxcar that rides on railroad tracks, all the way to Lopez where they rode a delivery truck to get to Unisan.

In the day to come the group will ride a hammer, a local version of the Hummer, to reach Las Pinas then jeepney to Makati and finally a quick tour of Manila on Mad Dog bike.

BAM, which airs in the National Geographic and British Broadcasting Corporation, also visited the interesting locales like the monastery in Bukidnon, pineapple farm in MalayBalay, and a fishing farm in Camiguin. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex)
