Hello Ken there is the province close to Iloilo called Antique name of the municipality is Sebaste where you can find lots of Filipina who live in Austria and some are in Germany. Even my mother can speak Deutsch. Anyways enjoooy Iloilo, watching from Belgium 🇧🇪

The tricycle drive said, "Plaza Libertad is very far. It is better you ride a jeepney." That s why they price the fare php150-200. Actually the drivers give honest answer.

The first tricycle who rejected you was saying that to get to your destination they need to use about 1 liter of fuel which is about 70 pesos, factor in the fact that they need to return to their usual area, that's another 1 liter to get back, so that about 140 pesos up front expense from fuel alone, so the guy who downgraded from 200 pesos to 150 pesos basically made about 10 pesos of profit.

Ken that was an honest price, that's the reason the first driver rejected you because he didn't want to charge you that much when you can take a jeepney for probably 20 pesos each. He says the gas very expensive, after he pays he's gas he would probably make 50 if he's lucky.

Hello ken those tricycle drivers are right it will be expensive since its not their route. You can ask some strangers for jeepney routes or you can ask the jeepney driver itself.

The first tricycle driver was urging you to take the jeepney for it is way cheaper and has a direct route to Plaza Libertad. But you insisted on taking the tricycle because maybe you're getting used to it. Well, Iloilo City has an extensive jeepney route that covers all major areas. You only use the tricycle in out of route areas when in Iloilo City.

I have not been in iloilo but the trycicle have their routes and if they go out of route meaning they cannot take a passenger from your destination back to their location. I think that’s is the reason why the 1st guys was suggesting you take the jeepney because they will charge you with standard rate.

Plaza Libertad is out of their usual route, it's already outside of Molo district. Tricycles have designated routes set by the local government. You can't just ask any tricycle you see to take you anywhwere in the city, specially a big city like Iloilo. What you are asking is like a special trip so I think it's standard for them to ask extra coz there is no assurance they'd pick up passengers going back.

200 is reasonable since they are going out of their route that’s why they suggested to ride in a Jeepney

The guy is not trying to rip you off. The place you want to go is far and will take a lot of fuel…he was trying to explain it to you. Please don’t just assume they are ripping you off just because you can’t understand them.

I agree. From Molo to Plaza Libertad is kinda far and usually they have some specific routes in Iloilo that only specific tricycles can go there, that’s why the first one suggested to ride a jeepney instead. They might also get a fine if some traffic enforcer might see them getting passengers from other areas.

Hi! From Iloilo here. The Trike driver can take you and drop you off in Plaza libertad, but hesitated since it will not be practical and would cost you more. And encourages you to ride the jeepney instead.

I agree with the comments below regarding the tricycle situation. Another reason, which is the biggest reason they should have stated, is that tricycles are generally not allowed on the roads you'll need to take going to Plaza Libertad. A cab would've cost just half the price they quoted.

Hello , still amazed by hospitality in Philippines, thanks ken for sharing, i would love to be there now but at least i have your vids for philippines

The old man with the first tricycle was saying it’s unheard of to take a tricycle to your desired destination. That gasoline alone was costly to drive that distance. Apparently, it is out of their usual or maybe even legal franchise area. Hence the higher rates even with the second tricycle.

@polgonzales

That region is quite known for kindness, friendliness and honesty.

They rejected it because it is more expensive. 1ltr. Of gasoline is ₱70 and it takes 2ltrs back and forth. So it is more less if you take jeepney which cost maybe 25-30 pesos. Those people that asking for money is called “badjao” they are the people from Cagayan(Mindanao) that came to iloilo every Christmas season to ask money.

They have designated route where they can only pick up passenger. Since ur destination is going to plaza libertad, they are charging you more since it is out of their designated route and if incases traffic police will caught them, thet will be fined and will pay thousands of pesos. Anyways, i hope u will enjoy ur visit in the city of love. More power to you and ur channel. Thank you for featuring iloilo city

Of all the places I have been to, Iloilo is my favorite.

150 pesos for that tricycle ride I think is reasonable especially if it's not their usual route. The first guy suggested that you should just ride a Baluarte jeepney because the destination is too far for tricycle drivers. The jeepney fare going to Plaza Libertad for is only 13 pesos.

I admire the fact that you are so well educated and respectful to worry about entering the church in a sleeveless shirt and asking about it... what can I say... you Germans are in a different class level in this respect...

tricycle driver is saying its out of his route and if you really wanna go there, it would cost alot of fuel. bottomline is.. its either he will charge you crazy amount for fare. or just deny you. coz you will have to pay double. going there + tricycle going back to his terminal (route) so like the 1st tricycle driver said, just ride the jeep.

Ilonggos in Iloilo City are MUCH honest compared to other cities e.g. Metro Manila. About the 1st tricycle driver, he was correct you should take jeep Baluarte (or Timawa jeepney too) from Molo Plaza to Plaza Libertad because it is VERY FAR (that's why they were hesitant). Jeepneys in Iloilo City have extensive routes (almost all roads have jeepney access) so you should take JEEPNEY instead. Tricycles in Iloilo City are often "special trips" (think of a taxi). You normally take a tricycle if you are out of route, have big pieces of baggage, or just shopped in a wet supermarket, etc. Please TAKE NOTE that the transport system in the Philippines (including pricing), is DIFFERENT from city to city, so don't compare the pricing.

The tricycle drivers were telling you it would be expensive to use a tricycle because it was far and the price of fuel is high. They recommend you use the jeepney which would have been cheaper.

For tricycles, usually there’s a designated tricycle per area or per barangay, you can identify them by the color of the tricycle and sometimes they’re not allowed to travel outside of their designated areas. Tricyles is only for short distance travel only unlike the jeepneys.

The tricycle driver said Plaza libertad said it’s to far and the gas is expensive, that’s the reason why they don’t want to take you there. They recommend you take the Jeepney.

It's a city btw. The Church is of Gothic architecture. The church & the plaza has just been renovated. The city government has been doing renovations and restorations of major church and plazas thruout the city. the most economical way to commute is by jeepney because the cost of fuel will be spread by the greater number of passengers as compared to the tricycle which can only take 2 or 3 at the most with the backride. Tricycle rides in the city of Iloilo are usually limited for short travels like 1-2 kilometers.

The girls were caroling. A Christmas tradition all over the Philippines. I lived in a village in Makati, Metro Manila in my younger years and my neighborhood friends and I always went caroling and had a lot of fun. Most homes handed us change or goodies. In my parents house, we had a basket at the front door filled with goodies and was refilled everyday in the early evening because caroling started when the sun goes down( I guess much cooler to walk around the neighbors and it was very safe. Everyone knew everyone in the neighborhood.Those were the days. It’s similar to Halloween in the States where kids went Trick or Treating!

the tricycle rate is reasonable even for local passengers considering the distance and price of fuel now

that trike driver would want to give you a ride, but he is hesitant coz of the fuel cost, since the location you're going to is quite far, and probably he can't charge that much and sometimes and some places trikes have their own routes, so I've heard he advised you to take the jeepney coz its much cheaper.

Those kids were singing Christmas carols because it's Christmas season right now here in PH you should keep some coins cos there will be plenty of them across the country lmao, kids do that here in the Ph, it's a tradition. So yea nice content, enjoy exploring the country!

My husband is from Scotland every time we go to my hometown Iloilo. He is very generous because he understands how hard life is just for ordinary worker. When he takes a taxi ride if the fare is 100 he’ll give 50 pesos tip. Even when going to restaurants.

Hi Ken , I'm living in Iloilo thank you for the visit. Iloilo is called "the city of love" and it is the heart of the Philippines where loving and sweet people lived.

Ken the Tricycle Drivers aren't ripping you off. Consider the price of petrol going back and forth, that is almost P150 pesos, plus they will take the risk of traversing out of their designated route. You should have taken the jeepney going that way, which will cost you less than 20 pesos only.

The tricycle drivers cannot just take you to Plaza Libertad because its quite far and it's OUT OF THEIR ROUTE.

From there in Molo..is quite far going to Plaza Libertad. So, he asked for higher fare. It would be better to take a jeepney. Would be cheaper.

That entire trike interaction was difficult to watch. The translation has been explained, however, the locals were being generous IMO on the 150 peso trike price and was most likely the agreed upon this price due to the foreign vlogger with camera rolling. While skin or foreigner tax is a real thing, even Hawaii has Kamaaina rates, or rates for local Hawaii residents, but what many people fail to realize is that vloggers often get better treatment due to the vlogger with a camera and may even get better treatment than a local Filipino. Like a little more ice cream in your cone, etc.

Tricycles are more expensive because Plaza Libertad is out of their route. That's why they're asking for a fixed price. Jeepneys are cheaper.

Ken am proud you appreciate churches even you're not Catholic or Christian but you are very respectful have not gone to iloilo its a beautiful place I loved you have shown the church inside thank you your a wonderful guy GOD BLESS

He said the gas is too expensive and it not worth to drive since it's to far. The girls that were singing are common in the Philippines on Christmas seasons and in return you give them gift or money for appreciation or just plain Christmas gift. Bonifacio was a war hero, during Spanish war. Mery Christmas

I don't think it's overcharged especially it's like few kilometers from Molo and they're risk for a possible violation since tricycles are regulated on that area plus with soaring gas prices and its private ride for 2 people. Even 300 pesos is fair enough. 500 would be overcharged. But I understand you, knowing the experience you had traveling in other places.

The first trike driver was being upfront that Plaza Libertad is kind of far and that it would cost you a lot. For 200 pesos, you can already take a Taxi from Molo to Plaza Libertad. And I think there are also jeepneys that have routes going to Plaza Libertad from where you were in Molo and that's much cheaper. You can ask the locals which way would be best. Sometimes, it's better to get taxis if you're in the city coz they have meters. But if u really want to experience Filipino transport, that's fine too :))

LOL, tricycle drivers don't usually drive from Molo to Plaza libertad (can't take direct route during the day); from midnight maybe. Php150 is cheap for thay route for 2 person. You can easily ride a jeepney from there. Surprised the driver agreed 😆.

Wow ! WELCOME to the CITY OF LOVE..... I AM PROUD ILONGGO😇 ( from Iloilo)

The first Tricycle driver and the old man actually both of them did not refuse to give you a ride going to Plaza Libertad.but because of the distance is far, they don't want you to spend and pay higher fare because of the diesel(gas) that it will consume and will cost you ranging from 150-200 pesos but instead they advised you to take a Molo Baluarte route Jeepney which will bring you directly to Plaza Libertad and pay only around 40pesos for the two of you..imagine how much money you gonna saved..They're showing honesty and wanted to help you and be guided the best option on reaching your destination..

In Iloilo City the language they used is Hiligaynon and the people are called Ilonggo ..

Thanks Ken for sharing another great content. Loved it too. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

nice you visited Robertos!!!!! thats a classic place 👀😊

150 for a private ride in iloilo is fair since it’s outside the regular route. Take a taxi if you have the means, or simply take public transpo if you don’t wanna spend.

The Visayas Region has 3 main languages: Hiligaynon (Western Visayas), Cebuano/Bisaya (Central Visayas), Waray (Eastern Visayas) Majority of people Panay Island where Iloilo is at speak Hiligaynon. Technically, the term Ilonggo refers to the people. The spoken dialect in Iloilo City is Urban Hiligaynon, a simplified version of the standard Hiligaynon that's being used in traditional media like newspapers, books, and magazines. The surrounding towns right outside the city speak variations the Kinaray-a dialect, which is commonly spoken but undocumented by linguists. Karay-a is quite noticeable as you travel north of the island.

"Why are they singing?" oh man I laughed so hard when that happened

Welcome to iloilo sir,hope you enjoy here.....

Tricycles are only for short runs within their districts, jeeps are for longer runs between districts. It is actually illegal for the tricycle to cross districts and had he been caught by the traffic police he would have had a huge fine to pay. You really should have taken a jeep, paid much less and spared the drivers from getting fined in case. When in doubt, ask the police for help.

Great vid

Kids singing Christmas songs. We call it in Tagalog as ‘Namamasko’. They expect gifts in return.

Aha!Ken,you have to tune your memory to remember all the different dialects you are picking up.😄

the 1st tricycle driver declined you because of the cost of the gasoline and wants you to take a jeepney which will only cost P12 from Molo plaza to Libertad plaza

Tricycles most of the time charge more if it's not their route ,specially if it's far just like in this case molo to plaza libertad is a bit far ,.it's better to take a jeepney it's cheaper..

He'd like to drive you to Plaza Libertad but the Tricycle driver is thinking about how much it would cost you (saying gasoline is high) and pointed you to jeepneys instead cos it would cost you way much less
