For safety reasons, regular cabs that are not accredited by airport authorities are required to write their details before entering NAIA.

Details include the name of the driver and the operator, the name of the taxi, and its plate number.

A copy of the information will be given to the passenger, while the original will remain with the airport authorities.

Taxis allowed to operate inside NAIA have different flagdown rates: P70 for yellow taxi, P30 for regular taxi.--with reports from Jacque Manabat and Zhander Cayabyab
