Girls Manila and AC for 200 Php ST and 500 Php LT
I heard from a few sources that girls are available in Manila and AC for 200 Php ST and 500 Php LT.
Where and how these deals are available? I prefer to stay in Manila, find a good-looking girl and take her to Cebu.
Are the girls young, OK looking, drugs and diseases free?
Would appreciate more info.
Taxi driving is very stressful and fatiguing
Especially in stop and go heavy traffic in Manila, driving taxi can be very stressful and fatiguing. Most of the older taxi drivers I met had their muscles atrophied down to pretty much bare bones, most likely due to poor blood circulation under stress, and sitting in the cars all day with little exercise.
I was carpooling with a couple guys to work, about 1 hour in stop-and-go freeway traffic everyday. The stop-and-go actions would pump up the adrenaline then let it down, causing severe stress in the nerve system and the muscles. Most guys cannot drive more than 2 days in a row without having the deep mental and physical fatigue, such that there is no strength left to do any mental or physical work. Everyone dreads the hour-long drive to work, well, except a young, body builder strong as an ox. He can drive 7 days a week and feels fine.
Taxi in Manila is pretty cheap, at least compared to what I would have to pay in the US. I hired a taxi to search a few fishbowls all over Ermita and Makati, driving and waiting for about an hour. At the end back at the hotel with a very pretty young girl in my arms, the driver wanted 500 Php which was about US$12. Knowing their rates, that was a very generous offer for him.
Some bros reported routine trips from AC to Manila's Aquino Int Airport, a distance over 50 miles and potentially 2 to 3 hours depending on traffic, all for 2500 Php or about US$60. The driver have to make round trip drive of about 120 miles, which would cost him about 6 gallon of gas or about US$30 so he earns $30 for half a day work.
It's a very hard life to make a living driving taxis anywhere. It helps to empathize and reduce stress for taxi drivers. Chances are you can get to where want to go safely, quickly and cheaply.
Well, this strategy did not work in Bangkok. The damn young driver claimed he did not know directions from Sukkhumvit to the tourists' Khaosan area on the Chaophraya river. He was wandering around all over Bangkok, stopping to ask locals for directions, gazing at the sky, scratching his ass. He pissed me off and I gave him peanuts.
Youtube had a recent video of a dispute between a farang and his Bangkok taxi driver. After a bit of creaming and yelling, the driver took a long machete from his trunk, chased down the passenger and drove it all the way through the back of his chest. The guy died instantly on the street in a big oozing pool of blood. Lot of passer-bys just walked right past the dying guy, without being concerned or upset by the violence.
SHIT. Taxi drivers probably have the most bad days of all occupations.
[QUOTE=Cbea20;1535664]Good move. I caution drivers that the meter is for their protection. It's their proof of fare. If the meter reads zero, that's what the passenger owes. If they have any doubts, we can call the LTFRB. More commonly nowadays in Manila, the meter is already running when you get in. If you have any doubt, get him to reset it. Finally, don't get too much on your high horse. Driving is stressful, and some of them carry guns.[/QUOTE]
The independent web-based cabbies
I realize cabbies still have to pay rent for the taxis, which leaves them little profit.
A 24-hour continuous driving shift can be very dangerous. The drivers would be half asleep after 12 hours. They can cause big accidents. Man. It is a very hard life, having to drive 24 hours straight everyday to make a living.
I was at San Jose Int Airport in Silicon Valley. A lot of people are using smart phone to hire independent cabs managed by a few internet companies. They all drive the very fuel.efficient and big Toyota Hybrid Prius. While there were plenty of normal cabs waiting around the terminal, the passengers were willing to wait fairly long for the indy cabs to show up, like half hour.
Apparently they must be much cheaper than the normal taxis without having to pay for license and rents for the cabs. Taxi drivers unions are all pissed off at these newbies stealing the food off their mouths. A few cities have started looking into the legal status of web-based taxis.
So may be some smart guys in Manila would stop pounding his pregnant Pinay GF for a few hours and try the same trick setting up independent web-based taxis for huge profits.
[QUOTE=Hutsori;1535937]Given that the metro Manila minimum wage is officially p466 per 8-hour day his $30 earnings for 4-6 hours of work isn't that bad. But this "big payday" is not all what it seems. Keep in mind that the guy has to lease the taxi at approx. P1500 per day too, so it appears he's making very little, and perhaps even losing money, on that Angeles run if he doesn't find a return passenger. Drivers typically work a 24-hour day-on / day-off shift, most starting at 6am. If you're taking a long journey in the wee hours keep an eye on your driver to make sure he doesn't drift off.[/QUOTE]
