00:00 LTFRB also pointed out taxi drivers during Christmas.
00:06 This is also the next viral video of a tourist who was asked to drive using the rate of the airport taxi.
00:15 The cellphone of the reporter is from Karen Villanda live.
00:21 LTFRB is investigating the 10,000 pesos tax on each foreign passenger who is going to Terminal 3 and going to Terminal 4.
00:33 Meanwhile, passengers are discarding themselves to be smart in driving, especially during this peak season.
00:41 Sir friend, this is our rate. Airport need a rate.
00:46 The video of a taxi driver asking for a high-priced fare to his foreign passenger is viral on social media.
00:55 It can be seen here that a large paper is being reached with the taxi driver.
00:59 When we zoom in, this is what they call an airport meter,
01:04 where the fare to Terminal 1 will reach 11,500 pesos, 12,000 pesos to Terminal 2,
01:12 and a staggering 13,500 pesos to Terminal 3.
01:17 In the story posted, the video was just read to him where the 10,000 pesos were asked for.
01:23 Passengers were asked to drive from Terminal 3 to Terminal 4.
01:28 The door of the taxi was also locked until the foreigners were not able to pay.
01:33 But in the end, they were only able to pay 5,000 pesos.
01:38 This viral video has already reached the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.
01:43 They will investigate if the video is true.
01:47 According to LTFRB spokesperson, Celine Pialago,
01:50 they will investigate this to ensure the integrity of the service provided by the taxi drivers
01:56 and to protect passengers.
01:59 The spreading of such things is just temporary during Christmas.
02:03 Even if some passengers are in charge, they will discard it so it won't be stolen.
02:08 I don't know or possibly look for like a tagged taxi cab, like a legit taxi cab.
02:14 That's what I would recommend.
02:16 If it happens to me that they will overprice,
02:20 I will ban them because they are not able to charge for it.
02:26 I hope we will be fair because not all people have a lot of money.
02:30 And we are both looking for a life.
02:32 I tried before to call the metro.
02:40 They don't want to charge for it.
02:49 But that was before.
02:51 Now, I just want to grab it.
02:55 Angelic, we are still waiting and trying to get the statement of the Manila International Airport Authority
03:04 regarding the incident of overpricing of taxi drivers here in Terminal 3.
03:10 Angelic.
03:11 You know, Karen, their actions are shameful because it ruins the image of our country.
03:18 Okay, what is the situation when you will ride a taxi in the airport?
03:24 Yes, Angelic.
03:26 First of all, to our passengers,
03:29 don't just trust that it won't be stolen because it's hard.
03:36 Angelic, the situation here is to protect yourself.
03:41 There are really a lot of regular-metered taxis.
03:45 And in that line, we checked earlier,
03:48 they are giving you a coupon.
03:50 The coupon contains the name of the taxi driver,
03:55 your name, and even his plate number.
03:58 If there is a problem, for example, overpricing,
04:02 there is a number there, Angelic, that you can call and complain to the driver
04:06 because it is written on the coupon his name and plate number.
04:09 It will be sent directly to the LTFRB.
04:11 Angelic.
04:12 Okay, so can we find the so-called rate cards in Manila?
04:19 The rate cards for foreign tourists.
04:22 You know, Angelic, according to our information,
04:28 according to the LTFRB, they will check if the authenticity of this viral video is true.
04:36 For now, that is our information.
04:39 But according to the LTFRB, they will check this for the protection of passengers
04:44 and the integrity of the taxi drivers
04:47 and that is our main gateway, Angelic, this NIA.
04:50 Angelic.
04:51 Yes, thank you very much, Karen Villanda.
