If you have patience, just wait for one without top up.

If you stay in Heritage hotel, take a taxi too...but do not use the bridge

If you going for example Makati or Pasay , just ask the taxi to go into a side road and then make a left turn on EDSA highway.
50 peso I never bargain, I only get out if driver start fixing price ... after all 50 - 100 still 1.5 $ to 3 $ what

but I agree for not walking around ... I take taxi even if 10 minute walk, better safe than get waylaid, and many robbery victims don't report or never make to news ...

I think you very Hansum to be molest... ha ha

I make mistake of hitting Edsa / P Burgos on Friday Saturday to find over run with Korean/ang Moh, end up calling Room service from regular supplier

btw, safe has different meaning also for me ..: .

correct reply win a free beer in OrcharD Tower !!!!

PS, I saw pictures of Green belt 5 partly ripped by Typhoon Glenda, talk about construction safety standard of the Ayala Family, never mind Earthquake resistance ...
