add to all above, in Makati, you can be safe as most drivers are worried you will complain to LTFRB .. and the local cops in Makati make sure meter is on

Coming back, try not to grab one of the taxis in the queue outside MBC (if your destination is MBC .. ) wait for a passing cab

Smoking has it's benefits: I feign smoking and then when a passing cab stops, I throw my smoke and jump in . .then yuo can avoid the fixers outside MBC
