Never take a white taxi in the Philippines. Recently, compatriots were robbed while taking a taxi.

A friend goes home by car. Suddenly he asked for 5000p. Usually it only costs 200/300 to take a taxi back. They asked for 5,000 and locked the car door. I took my friends to the slums. . . Be careful. This driver is kidnapping Chinese people

Recently, in the Manila-Guangzhou testing group, a compatriot sent a message asking for help: Which brother or sister has extra pesos? All the remaining pesos on the black bus on Grace were robbed. It costs 3,000-5,000 pesos, and the airport departure tax costs 2,000 pesos. Thanks, you can use WeChat or Alipay to transfer RMB to exchange.

What’s dramatic is that as soon as this compatriot finished speaking, another compatriot also sent a WeChat message saying not to take taxis at the entrance of the hospital. He had just finished the test and took a taxi when he came out and was robbed. The former compatriot immediately said: I just finished what I said before. The two looked at each other speechless.

A compatriot in the discussion group for returning home also said that he was robbed of 35,000 pesos. He also revealed that a brother went to get tested for Grace. When he went out to take a taxi, he was held up with a knife and robbed of 50,000 pesos.

PS: No matter how urgent you are, don’t take a white taxi

PS: The accent sounds like my brother from Henan. The other guy is an old man. Just fuck him and it’s over. It’ll be too late when you get to the slums. They all have accomplices. I’ll give them to you then.

PS: I dare to take the notorious white taxi, I can only say that I deserve it.

PS: It is not safe to grab now and they still sell it as a white car.

PS: If you dare to take a white taxi, you might as well find our travel agency.

PS: It’s not safe to walk either

PS: There is never absolute security

PS: Why is grab unsafe? The APP does not have a one-click alarm, it is also a real-name system.

PS: Grab is relatively safe and has a much higher safety factor than a white car.

PS: In the Philippines, very few people take taxis on Ctrip. If you do this, you will starve to death.

PS: You can eat apples when you are hungry, but apples are not the only thing you can eat! I just show that we are a Ctrip certified merchant! It is also a 9d bmh certified merchant

PS: You can take Ctrip when traveling. Generally, grab is used here.

PS: Yes, I usually recommend taking a grab, but the guy in the article actually took a white taxi! Also, taxis at Manila Airport are relatively safe! Having lived in Manila for ten years, I recommend not taking a white taxi! Many brands are fake.

PS: Ten years ago, we didn’t grab a white taxi, so we had to pay tuition fees.

PS: You should also pay attention to safety on motorcycles. I went back the day before yesterday and the rider canceled the order halfway through. I looked at the license plate and it was written on it by myself. It was also different from the license plate on the software. I walked on the main road, the road of New Ssangyong.

PS: You may not lose in 1v1

PS: I’m curious about how you took this photo.

At the same time, experienced evil compatriots reply to everyone: Don’t go out unless you have nothing to do. The Philippines is very, very chaotic right now, and the unemployment rate is also quite high. Many people will rob when they have no money. Last night a friend was robbed of 35,000 pesos. Today I went to ST Hospital for a check-up. I took a white taxi and had a gun pointed at my head. I was robbed of four iPhones, a LV bag and cash. The total value is more than 40,000 yuan. Also, when you take a taxi, never take a white taxi. It is a private taxi and no one is in charge. Compatriots, remember this!

In the Philippines, there are many ways to take a taxi, including taxis, GRAB online taxis, Alipay overseas taxis, etc. If you don’t know how to take a taxi, you can also choose a customized car transfer.


There are roughly three types of taxis in the Philippines: white, green, and yellow.

The most formal one is yellow taxi, which is an airport-specific taxi and is only available at the airport. The fare is slightly expensive, the price is transparent, there are no detours, and there is no manipulation on the meter. It is safe and guaranteed. You can see it when you leave the airport. It is recommended that compatriots who are new to the Philippines take this kind of taxi to the hotel.

Green taxis are owned by large companies, and their drivers are generally uniformly dressed. They rarely refuse rides, don’t use the meter, or take detours. If you encounter a green taxi when hailing a taxi, it is recommended that you choose it first. However, I rarely see cars in this color.

The third type is the white taxi, which is also the most common taxi on the road. There are actually two types of white taxis. Both shapes are the same white, but the license plates are divided into yellow and white. Yellow license plates generally belong to taxi companies. Because drivers are contracted or hired employees, they have certain restrictions and generally do not dare to do anything excessive. Occasionally, they do not use the meter and take detours. However, other situations such as the above-mentioned threats to passengers, forced demands for tips, or even luggage theft or even robbery are rare.

Coming to the critical part, the most important thing to pay attention to are the white taxis with white license plates. This kind of taxi is completely owned and operated by individuals, so the drivers are a mixed bag. It is said that most of the accidents are caused by this type of taxi. But it’s not completely certain. It is said that white license plates are mostly pheasant cars. If there is a traffic accident, the insurance company has reasons and will not compensate. Not using the meter, forcibly asking for tips, temporarily increasing fares, and taking detours to refuse rides may be minor troubles. If cases such as luggage theft and robbery are encountered by compatriots, they are criminal acts and are equivalent to being on a black bus. Most of the evil deeds are done by this group. I don’t know if the above-mentioned victims are white-plate taxis, and the editor has not verified it, but we do need to be more vigilant, because when taking a taxi with a yellow card or a white plate, you may get the wrong number from a long distance, so it is best to avoid danger. Try not to take white taxis.

Using your mobile phone to hail GRAB is similar to Didi hailing a taxi. This kind of car is the safest, and the quality of the car is better, cleaner, safer and more reliable. The editor usually chooses this way to travel.
However, this method is suitable for people who are familiar with the geographical location and have a little knowledge of English. At least you need to know whether your location is the location mapped by the taxi, which are all English place names. Secondly, you must also know the specific location of the place you want to go. Decide on your destination before calling a taxi, otherwise don’t cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.

Alipay’s overseas taxi-hailing process has a Chinese interface throughout, and self-service orders are finally connected to the GRAB platform for dispatch. Just do it yourself.
