Bolinao Getaway

Holiday... where will you go?

Day 0
1. meet-up in Five star terminal in Pasay. Since I came from Balic-Balic Sampaloc Manila, I chartered a taxi. Unluckily, this first taxi was ‘garapal’, he's requesting for additional charge (P100 daw?! Whoa). In the next taxi, at least he is a little more decent enough to drive me first to the bus terminal before requesting for a Tip.
Why do all taxi drivers think that all passengers are wealthy enough to give tip?
