At The exit they All had lists which "official prices."
I said no way.
What Kind of tourist scam is that?
And believe me no one would take you with Meter. They Just leave you there.
I went to the other Terminal.
Again the same, no Meter. Only official lists quoting 700 p to my hotel!
No way.
I went up to the Street and took a taxi from the Street.
He also did not wanted to use meter, but was ok with 500 p.
Was it always that Bad in Cebu airport?
One of the most things I hate is these taxi mafia.

Honestly speaking if you have problems with your knees you'll struggle to get in tricycle. I'm same height, you have to step in and almost fall backwards, getting out is trickier. Jeepny are also likely to be a struggle as they have limited height available, unless you're able to park yourself right next to door. Just a note also, tricycles are generally banned within Makati, so you may get one around Burgos area but they wouldn't for example take you into Salcedo to one of nice restaurants there.
If one of taxi drivers is decent always option to get his number and text him in advance of your journey.

For travelling further away, I've never had issues with Grab not taxis but I will admit that was pre pandemic.
Enjoy. G.
P.S. You don't want to stay in your room the whole trip but it's very easy to have girls come to you if you aren't feeling well.

Posts: 102Local transportation methods?
My trip is scheduled for mid-July and I'm so ready!
A question about getting around within Manila and AC safely and reasonably priced: I am 6'1" tall and I'm a big guy. Over 300 lbs. From the dozens of YT Vlogs I've seen I'm fairly sure I will never fit in a trike. And with bad knees, I'm not really able to walk more than a few hundred yards at any one time. I know trikes are probably fairly safe and certainly cheap for short distances, say from Walking Street to my hotel or to Perimeter Rd. But it looks like I probably can't use them? Am I correct?
So that means my next best options seem to be:
Grab. I have the app, of course. I know its a bit more expensive than a trike, but I can handle 7-10 trips per day if they cost $5-6.
- Saw some recent posts that wait time for a Grab is getting longer. Over 20 minutes?
- Probably best for taking a girl back to my hotel?
- Probably best for getting to other local regions like Ermita to P. Burgos, Malate to Greenbelt?
Taxis. Seems like a bad option: more expensive, taxi mafias, scam drivers who "forget" to use the meter.
For longer rides. Jeepnys? Not sure they are safe from pickpockets, don't really know the routes, and not door to door, but very inexpensive.
Are there other options? Are my assumptions above accurate?
Thanks for any advice.

You would be best checking several reputable airlines as they all outsource that stuff to firms like join sherpa.

Annoying as I could have arrived a day earlier if I had known. As for insurance I could cancel but it was not expensive so will keep it. I dint see anything about insurance on the P A website.

Posts: 13This is June 2022 almost and people are still inquiring about boosters.
Covid is dead in the water as they just stated in Davos. The window is shutting down fast. Too fast.
But monkey pox will save the year. PCR tests have been ordered from China. Pfizer and Moderna are about to release their stuff. Everything is ready to go.
Now, for those who got jabs three times last year and will get monkey pox shots, the borders are all yours! For a few weeks.

But there is something I cannot find, its about what they call a full vaccination schema or this booster shot.
Is there any delay for this booster shot? One month old, two month, six month?
Example for me, I had 3 Pfizer in 2021, the last one which could be the booster one I guess, was in Dec 2021. So is that ok or should I take a fourth one and how long before the travel?
Can we arrive with a last injection six month old?
Unclear for me up to now.

The rule, which takes effect on May 30, covers people 18 years old and above, while minors 12 to 17 years old should have the primary vaccine series. Children below 12 are exempted provided they are with fully vaccinated and boosted parents/guardians.
The government also lifted the travel insurance requirement.
The Tourism department welcomed the move."
In addition, the Intramuros BI office (and all the others) have been on a reduced-capacity basis since the pandemic started. It has operated at greatly-reduced operational personnel, and went to appointment-only for all needs (visa extensions, OFW, and so on). Walk-ins were eliminated regardless of need. Normally the appointment schedule is full (red boxes on the calendar) or nearly full for 4 weeks ahead. Its easier to get one of those agencies to process your extension (the agents can walk in at any time, and have their own set of windows which are under-utilized) than get an appointment. When you use the online appointment calendar it looks like the picture, with red slots out for a month, often times showing FULL. But recently it changed, with lots of open (blue) slots. Also, the slots stop on the last day of this month, and don't continue into next month. That *might* be an indication that they are going to allow walk-ins again next month.
Also the worm turns quickly in Phils. When I first screen-captured that picture, each blue box for May 30 and 31, showed exactly 100 open slots. A few minutes later when I refreshed the page, they had changed to the number of slots you see here (183 to 196 slots).
+ 2 extra credit points to the BI for stopping the appointment-only system (if its happening).
-2 points for not announcing it in advance (if its happening).
