    Fixed rate is illegal if they have a meter. You should have shown his face

    Just ask them to run their meter if they don't want to turn on their meter just get another taxi I have gone thru that a few times but they always end up turning on their meter just have to tell them otherwise tell them you will turn them in the LTO

    Hey chrishel, firstly you are looking great 😊
    I often had issues with taxi drivers from landing in mactan to get to cebu, most want a fixed price and when I said just put the meter on they didn't like it and often refused so I wait for another taxi 😅
    I've been so many times now and you get to know how much it should be
    Well done you for knocking the price down on your ride

    • @filipinalife
      @filipinalife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes hahaha. When I'm about to arrived I saw the meter not on so I immediately searched how much is the grab cost so I have idea and gave him reason to down the price. 😊

    You should only use Grab in Manila, especially you know it already, because it's always a problem with all other Taxi.
    Use Grab and pay nice tip to the driver, because they have bad payment

    Ahh those taxis! Long ago when it was still MIA, I got a metered taxi, gave him a street and address. I knew where I was going. Next thing I know he drives past my street! I had a hard time getting him to turn around. He acted angry about it. Trying to run up the meter. His act was very funny.

      It is taxi scam in a lot of countries to drive foreigners around the city if they don`t know the city. My dance teacher once told the story when he was in Moscow he needed to go from one train station where he arrived to other train station and local taxi driver offered to take him for some good money but he did not expect that my teacher knew that the other station is basically just across the street :D

    If Any Taxi Driver. REFUSES To Turn On The Meter, It's Automatically Time To Call Anotger Taxi or Find Alternate Transportation.
    I'm Sorry You Got Scammed. Call The Taxi Company He Works For, Get Him Fired, Then Call Police , Have Him Arrested For Scamming .😊

    Hahaha......loved the short appearance of your little star Sophia, right at the end!
    I was intriqued by your music near the end. I know you choose your music carefully and the words always relate to something happening in the video, or you wish was happening. So i am wondering, is this leading up to the video where you make a collaborative video with 'Ken'.??? The only reason i know 'Ken' exists, is because your viewer 'flybywire1' mentioned he had just seen you in one of 'Ken's' videos very recently, when he commentedin a live chat..
    The suspense is killing me!!! Please get that video out there this weekend.
    In the words of the song near the end of this video "i feel the tension"

      I just remembered what song you were singing to yourself near the end of this video.
      It is 'Unchained Melody'. Google the lyrics. You will see I am correct.

    I used only Grab everywhere in Philippines to avoid such taxi scams. The same was in Indonesia arriving in Jakarta when I had booked Gojek already and such taxi scamers were offering for price twice as much as I hade my Gojek :) Totally different situation in Singapoure where all taxis use meters and meters are checked by government and if any scam is detected driver loose taxi licence for life

    Dread using taxis period in the Philippines. They are basically a Frontline experience for any tourist there but sadly they fail 99% of the time. With apps like Uber and Grab making inroads globally taxis will gradually decline.

  • @Fitzaism

    Yes. The last time I landed in Manila, it was last in the evening and not many taxis. Myself and my sons jumped in the 1st taxi and asked to go to our hotel which was in Pasay, near Mall of Asia. Lots of traffic but when we got there I gave the driver a 1,000 pesos bill and told him to keep the change. Remember, I am a tourist and not used to the costs in Manila. It seemed an OK cost to me, comparable to airport taxi rides in Australia. It was only days later and many taxi rides later, that it started to occur to me that I paid way too much for the airport ride. The meter was not turned on during the airport journey. Having said that, I don't know how the drivers make a living, given the horrendous traffic, upkeep on their cars etc.etc.
