Thanks to all you people for taking the time to make comments. Not only me but all visitors to your countries appreciate it

The management of the airport should have taken steps to correct this problem which has been going on for a long time now. All the sectors and agency of the Government that is consider responsible for foreign affairs and tourism in the country are not doing their mandated job correctly.

Nakatakot talaga sa Pinas marami manloloko,nag punta ako noon for my first time sa Hawaii at ang mga taxi driver ay nakamonitor so safe ka doon sana ganyan sa atin.

Great choice. I use the yellow taxis all the time when I get to the airport. They are reliable and the safest. I normally give the driver extra tip for getting me safe to my destination.👏👏👏

Sorry for you. I learned this years ago after an experience like yours. You should send this to the Philippine Tourist Authority.

Just get a grab or the coupon taxi which has a fixed rate dependinhbon your area of destination. Less hassle

Even me I'm a Filipino, taxi scammed me, they tell the price or fare and then while in the taxi and they doubled the fare, they're like a holduper and a robber.

Wow, seem like research is always good to do before any trip

Use GRAB. If you don't have a phone/app/internet, there's a grab booth in the airport. Ask them to book you a ride. NEVER use a taxi.

Shame on philippines

Sir, the paper or ticket that you got from the window is for you to keep, not to be handed to the taxi driver, it’s for your protection in case the driver cheat you. If you give it to the driver, you have no proof and copy of the plate number. Good thing that driver didn’t cheat you even if you handed it to him. But next time, keep it so the driver won’t dare to cheat you. Another way to protect yourself is to take a picture of the taxi’s plate number ( and if you dare, include the driver’s face), then send it to a friend or family.

I got it...and thanks for telling all people who are watching this

I have no idea why the Philippine government will allow these predatory taxis to operate at the airport for many many years now. Sometimes waiting for a metered taxi at Manila can be OVER an hour wait, depending on the time of day, and day of the week you arrive. Use a Grab.

Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago this happened to me. I got into a "regular" taxi, a white one with a meter, but the guy just decided not to turn it on. After about a block, I asked him why he didn't turn on the meter. He then showed me how much it costs to go to Makati, which was 1300 pesos. I told him to pull over, but then he said, "1000?" I got pissed. Why do they feel the need to screw people? It should only cost about 500 - 600.

Not even 600 to makati

When getting a taxi white/yellow in Manila, don't ask "How much is going to...." because they can scam you with that, better not to ask question, just go inside and check if the meter is running, if not ask the driver to turn it on unless go find another taxi.

You go downstairs walk out to the end and take the white taxis. You always ask for meter only getting in the taxi. There half the price as the yellow taxi

Calling the DOTr.head Garcia wake up and do your assignment!

Had the scam experience as well, only because you are foreigner they think you are rich and does not matter paying more. I do not buy this over friendly etc. shits. The majority of its ppl. are poor and struggling so they assume they can trick foreigners. I for sure do not need such holiday destinations.

Never get taxi, always take grab car bro.

Same thing happened in Jakarta Airport.

hi there let me know where is the Grab pick ups if you will find any ... i will travel in 1th March terminal 1

Last year i stayed in Manila and took the Jeepney to the airport to check on my flight and when i came out a taxi offered to take me back the same route charging me over double what i had just payed. I said no thanks and hopped on another Jeepney right away. Jeepney are so much fun hehe.

I only met one driver in Manila who was honest, he even told me any taxi that charges more than the meter is doing that illegally and he even told me where to report them, he told me they have to charge what the meter says

The philippines is lawless country. don't even think about going outside the metro. holy fuck.

Dont use taxi in manila. Use only grab where prices are standardize

If anyone offers you any service. It's a scam. Any good business doesn't need to seek out their customers.

thanks for info

Scam is everywhere even CENTORION in Italy where i am,if they see you old man 😂😂😂....

​​@@hercc6155grab is like uber, so you book a ride from the grab app, or at naia terminal exits they have grab booths, attendants on those booths can book a grab ride for you if you don't have a working phone with data. Grab booths are clearly marked as grab booths so you can't make a mistake. You can pay either cash or in app. It's a fixed rate, you pay no more than the app or the attendant tells you
