They turn on the meter, if YOU PICKED THEM FROM MAKATI.
The taxis are terrified of the makati police patrol and more then often, the cops stop the cab and check if the meter is on, if not FINE..
I can't say for the other places, and haven't been to Phil for the past 6 months .. and .. well, LTFRB may have tightened the checks..
