overcharging kutsero in manila

[yebo]

halos ganyan din nangyari sa friend ko at guest nya, sinamahan ko sila sa luneta kasi mag-tour sila ng luneta and fort santiago. navy sea bees sila na gumawa ng mga schools sa jolo. nung nasa manila sila tour nya yung female officer na 1st time makapunta ng pinas. so since wala sila car ako driver nila for 1 day. usapan nila ng kutsero 1 hour lang. ginawa nung kumag e niligaw sila so after 1 hour malayo pa sila sa grand stand. ayun inabot ng 1 hour 20 minutes. sinisingi sila ng 2 hours! kakahiya. at least yung friend ko nagbayad lahat at hindi yung chick (ganda pa naman ni ma'am!), napag-takpan ang kaswapangan ng ogag na kutsero.

last friday afternoon, 2 disgusted foreigner went to our office (travel agency) in roxas blvd. they want to know how much should they pay for a calesa ride because the kutsero was charging them USD30.00/each. i asked her if they agreed on a certain price and the kustero told them '30' (not specifying what currency and if its the price for both of them) well we all know that our currency is in peso, why charge in US currency? charging $60 for a calesa ride is wayy too much. i called up the DOT's tourist police for assistance, and suprisingly arrived promptly. they settled at P250. i don't know if the kutsero was arrested but he should have been.

tourism means more jobs, more food on the plate for the average juan but taking advantage of unsuspecting tourists? grabe. this incident will really make tourists say "wow philippines!" with sarcasm. nakakahiya!

hindi kaya mayroong mis-understanding dian sa nangyari kapatid? tinanong ang kutsero kung magkano, ang sagot ay "30." since ang currency ay phil. peso, automatic na nasa isip ng kutsero ay thirty pesos. hindi na nya kailangan pang specify kung dollars or pesos. ito namang dalawang turista, nagbigay ng dollars. ang pagkakaintidi siguro ng kotsero, binigyan sya ng extra kasi satisfied at generous yung mga isinakay nya. hindi kaya posibleng ganito ang nangyari?

tama nga na 30 yung singil, coz one time isinakay ko yung anak ko sa may Binondo Area just to get the feel. Pero that was peso I paid. Baka kala ni manong kutsero makaka-isa sya.....

Mentality kasi ng ilang pinoy, na pag foreigner pwedeng lokohin kasi marami namang pera yan. Bale wala lang yan sa kanila. And yung one time lang,tutal di na babalik or di magkikita ulit.
Minsan kahit hindi foreigner, kahit local tourists tinatalo. Like yung mga bangkero sa Pagsanjan falls.
