But one very important information we'd like to publish now. the information belongs to the taxis in NAIA Terminal 3.
When you arrive in NAIA-3, you find the free shuttle-bus for the other terminals (NAIA-1, NAIA-2 and NAIA-Domestic) on the far left side of the terminal building.
to go downtown Manila, you will use a taxi.
There is a taxi stand immediately at the terminal exit. This stand makes only yellow cabs available. The cost is PHP 70 flag fall and PHP 40 for each 300 meters. EXPENSIVE!
To avoid that the passengers take the much cheaper white taxis, the NAIA management has placed a series of signs saying:
The white taxis wait outside on the road. (Watch for the rose church). It's only a 100m walk. A security agent gives you a ticket with the licence plate and the name of the driver. Keep it. The price is PHP 30 flag fall and PHP 15 for each 300 meters. CALCULATE.
From NAIA Terminal 3 to Makati it takes about 20 minutes (medium traffic) and costs PHP 130.
The Silent Gardens Team always uses white taxis. You only have to insist that the meter is reset and turned on.
Have a fine journey.

( 2.9 / 137 )Today at 1:00 PM the 29th Lanzones Festival arrived at its absolute highlight: THE TABLEAU COMPETITION.
Ten thousands of people attended this event under a hard burning sun.
The seats in the shadow had been sold out already weeks ago. So most of the viewers were exposed to the sun.
Umbrellas and pieces of cardboard gave a little bit of shadow, but the sun did burn and the dust got in the nostrils.
Our dog had a good idea...
... and we followed him before the end.

( 3 / 120 )GENERAL SANTOS, Mindanao: A 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck off General Santos City at 5:21 p.m. Thursday, the US Geological Survey said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury.
The undersea quake was located 77 kilometers (48 miles) east-southeast of General Santos City at a depth of 123.8 kilometers.
Our friend Kai from General Santos reports that the duration of the earthquake was about 1 minute. He could not see any damages in his closer neighborhood.

( 2.9 / 139 )ABS-CBN, 10/20/2008 11:08 PM
A Swiss citizen did not pay his bill in the Italiannis restaurant in Greenbelt, Makati. The restaurant manager called the police.
The Swiss citizen pretended that his wallet had been stolen by pick-pockets.
His behavior at the police stations makes think that he was drunk.
The police could not verify his personal data.
The Swiss citizen got upset and did not cooperate with the police.
So he had the pleasure to pass last night in jail at San Juan police station.

[Ed's comment: Have always a photocopy of your passport with you, do cooperate with police, be polite even if others are not]
