Yes, I took several jeepney rides when I was in Mindoro. I remember that we had to wait until there were at least 6 passengers before the driver would start on the short trip to town. Do they always wait until the jeepney is full before leaving?
I see. In fact, when I rode the jeepney, it was not running WITHIN a city or town, but running BETWEEN towns (Sabang and Puerto Galera), so it would have been foolish to leave with only 1 or 2 passengers. That's why the drivers wait for 5-6 passengers.

Depends which area. Here in the City they just pick up passengers on the way to their route. There's a jeepney that will pass by less than 5 minutes.
