"Dealing with Manila taxi drivers is a more complex proposition. It requires persistence, persuasion, guile, and an unbendable will. I have long believed that there is a secret society of cabbies which formulates the rules for choosing passengers.
Cabbies may refuse a passenger on the grounds that her destination is too near, her destination is too far, traffic en route to her destination is too bad, and my personal favorite: he's not going that way."- Jessica Zafra, "Twisted Travels", (Manila) 2007
