    After watching AVATAR at gateway, I decided to head home using a cab. Since there were lots of people who was waiting for a cab I decided to walk ahead of them. A few steps along I reached the intersection. There were around 3 of us waiting there.

    Several taxi cabs passed but most of them were already occupied. Then after a minute one of us three, who was waiting for a cab, successfully got one already. Again, after a minute there was again another vacant cab that passed by ....but the 2nd person seemed not to get in. Well, me knowing that several drivers refuse passengers who live far ... I hurriedly went to the cab and said my location. Happily, the driver nodded so I got in.

    When the cab has moved a little the driver said ....
    " sir, isangdaan na lang " ;; so I said ;;
    " ano ? manong bawal iyan ha. kung ano yung metro, yun ang babayaran ko " ;; and then, he blurted out something again
    " sige sir, metro +20 " ;; then I tried to threaten him a bit so I said

    " huwag niyo nga ako pangungunahan, ako nagbibigay ng tip pero sa ugali mo na yan baka isumbong pa kita sa LTFRB .... kukunin ko plate number mo "

    after that, he stopped talking. So when he dropped me off to my house, I gave him the EXACT fee ... not giving any tip whatsoever.

    Nakakadismaya lang kasi, kung ano ibibigay ng pasahero nila sa kanila tanggapin nila at huwag na pangungunahan at kokontratahin ka pa. Kaya kapag nakahanap sila ng katapat, mga pulis o taga LTFRB mismo, yari sila.

    Ang sarap ng isumbong sa media eh. Ang problema eh hindi naman ata ito consistent kagaya ng napalabas sa imbestigador dati. And, it's not worth the hassle.

    Sana naman ay umayos sila.

    LTFRB sir sumbong nyo, kahit sa textline (kung meron man) nila..Kahit pa di tuloy-tuloy nilang ginagawa yun pero the fact na sinubukan ka nyang perahan, eh illegal na yun..What if nalang po kung let's say medyo uto-uto ang makuhang pasahero ng mokong na yun, paulit ulit lang nyang gagawin yun..

    Freakin' taxis kala mo kung sino mamburaot eh most of them pagkabulok bulok ng sasakyan..

    Magkano naging fare mo Renzo?

    Ganyan talaga pag magpa-Pasko. Minsan naman ayaw nila ng malayo, kasi traffic daw. Pag malapit naman, gusto, dagdagan mo yung pinatak sa metro. Pag ganitong Holiday Rush pa naman, ang hirap kumuha ng taxi. Kaya kawawa yung mag kababayan natin na walang sasakyan pag ganitong pasko.

    Madalas ito sa Makati (Glorrietta, SM, Greenbelt areas). Dati, ginagawa ko, pag kakausapin ko yung driver, yung pinto sa right rear side door ang binubuksan ko para makipag-haggle sa presyo. Pag umayaw at galit pa, di ko isasara yung door. He-he! Bahala siyang dumukwang para isara. Minsan, bumukas yung pinto, habang paalis yung taxi, may tinamaang Vios.

    Tatawa-tawa lang ako. Nakaganti rin ako........

    ^^ 57.xx I gave P60.

    Pasalamat siya wala akong 7 pesos at ilang cents. :bwahaha:

    Pero kung hindi siya nangontrata, I might have given him a P10 - P20 tip, just like what I did to the taxi driver when I was headed to gateway. Fare was 60. I gave him 70php.

    Pero since g*go `to. Bahala siya sa buhay niya. :bwahaha:
