Manila Transportation

Pedicabs are usually found hanging around the streets that branch off from the main arteries of Manila. The people who operate them are usually very poor and often sleep in their pedicab with their wife. They normally just go a few hundred meters so i don't mind giving generously to these poor unfortunates.

For 10 years now i have used Filipino Travel Agency(foreign owned) for international tickets, and my friends who i recommended the service to were also satisfied. They will also arrange local packages to attractions and resorts throughout the country. They are located near the intersection of Adriatico St and Pedro Gil in Ermita.
