| 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.
