| Transportation
to and from the airport |
Once you exit customs
in the airport you will notice different
booths that can rent you a private
car to Makati for 500 pesos. If you
want something a little cheaper you
can get a cab from 230 peso to 400
pesos depending on where you are going
(400 pesos to Makati) They have all
the set rates posted so you shouldn't
get ripped off. And again if you still
want something cheaper walk right
out of the airport onto the street
and flag down your own cab and negotiate
the price with the driver, you should
be able to get to Makati for 300 pesos.
