Have always been taking airport jeepney on arrival during daytime and private taxi when leaving. Maybe next trip can take jeepney to airport and save some pesos. Haha.

To me it's more the principle, although taxis in Manila remain one of the cheapest in ASEAN, based on the meter.
In AC transportation prices (private car to airport, private car to manila, trikes, etc.) keep going up and up and the trikes continue to price gouge. Locals pay PHP50-70 for a short trip on a trike but they demand minimum PHP100 from us foreigners.
The private car/taxi mafia in AC now all want PHP 350 for a one-way trip to/from DMIA to Fields. That is ridiculous, considering from NAIA Manila to/from Malate/Ermita is only approx. PHP 150-160 on the meter.
