I’ve been trying to put off writing until I’ve finished school stuff. With comprehenesive exams coming up soon, I have to manage and juggle a lot of things, but I feel that this has to be posted.

I haven’t felt the pinch of the gas prices up until recently when I noticed more and more cabbies are tinkering with their meters. In my previous post, I mentioned how to read the meters for taxi cabs here in the Philippines, so I can pretty much estimate how much a cab ride should cost. My regular cab ride costs an average of Php 100. Now, it ranges from Php 140 - Php 170 and that is only with the meter running. Some cabbies even ask for fixed prices when or additional fare on top of the meter charge.

I just got news that they might be raising the flagdown rates to Php 40. Well, tomorrow is another work day so I’ll find out then.
