AVOID These Tricycle Drivers In The Philippines 🇵🇭

The tricycle drivers in The Philippines are ruthless and overcharge foreigners so much.
Join us in the city of Iriga as we find an honest tricycle driver and head up to Inorogan chapel, a church at the bottom of Mt Asog.
We then show you the cheapest and tastiest food we've been eating here in Iriga City before taking in the most beautiful volcano views from our hotel rooftop.
Iriga City is a beautiful place.

Tricycle drivers in The Philippines have been awful to deal with during our trip so far! But for every 9 bad people there's always 1 good honest man which we really appreciate 🙏

[@EllisWR]

@@clementenaidasjr.3368 I don't have time to report them it's 95 percent of drivers that overcharge and lie

[@elsupremo26]

On behalf of those abusive Filipino trike drivers, i apologize. Even us their fellowmen they also taking advantage of our state of life, depending how we dress up or if they know we can afford some. My pity goes to the foreigners, most specially. They are the one who got the usual treatment like that from those abusive drivers.

The only less risky tricycles are those in Naga City, because they are required to follow certain routes, and tricycles are part of daily commute ordinary people. You ride and hop the color coded tricycles plying around the city. Legaspi and Iriga cities on the other hand use jeepneys as their main transport. So the tricycles drivers there, not all, learned so many tricks on how to scam their passengers as they are less used public transport.

[@EllisWR]

Everyone in Naga always charged us 13 pesos was super easy. Legazpi and Iriga 90 percent of them try charge 10-20x the fare for us.

[@archsword2446]

go straight ahead to Samar and Leyte area and try the chocolate moron and binagol in Tacloban and the torpedo boats in Samar. You can also extend visas in Tacloban City.

What for?

Hello Ellis, Elisha is having winged bean (type of veg) cooked in coconut milk or "gata" in rinconada. I'm from Baao and now resides in Cambridge. I grow winged bean here in UK in summer time. Take care both of you❤

Ahhh thankyou! Wow hope you have an amazing day

[@jomontanee]

So disheartening to encounter these scams. I know it happens In Thailand, 🇹🇭 my beloved country too and we Thais are so angry and ashamed of these dishonest drivers. We urged our govs to do something but so far, “silence” is a response. God blesses that honest driver.

[@EllisWR]

Hey Jo I don't think we've ever been lied to in Thailand everybody is honest and kind. We don't go to very touristy places though! People try to make out like Thai people are all scammers but to me not atall 🙏

Trivia: Many Bicol churches during Spanish times were built on top of the hills or a very fortified one, with small windows. Bicol used to be raided by M*slim pirates from Mindanao and Malaysia. The church acted as the last stand of the villagers and the bell tower for the parish priest- usually the "accidental military commander" leading Bicolano villagers during raids. There are still towns in Camarines Sur that retained the cannons in front of their churches or town halls, the reminder of the rural Bicolano folks bloody history.

[@EllisWR]

Super interesting thanks for the information

How long have you and Alicia been travelling in SE Asia? How much longer do you plan to stay or are you flexible and may travel to a different region outside Asia.

[@EllisWR]

I think we've been here for 9 months now and will probably stay for the rest of the year. If we could afford to fly around a lot would definitely head back to somewhere in Europe again or The middle east/Latin America.

@@EllisWR most of them are cool though, i get they wanna make money but i know the conversion price lol

[@RenzAdrian]

just to remind you you have to becareful to transact with tricycle drivers because sometimes they double the amount specially if your a foreigner they will take advantage to you because they will think you have a lot of money.

[@EllisWR]

Yeah they are terrible never experienced it like this in any country. 95 percent of the time try to charge 5-10x as much its a shame!

[@moondustgirl2132]

Sad that those tricycle drivers tried to rip you off even though they're being filmed. Sorry if this has been your experience with most tricycle drivers here. Sad too that PH has been your least liked country based on your replies to the other comment here. But that's okay. We can't please everyone. All i know is that i've heard and watched many foreign vloggers say that PH has been their favorite. (And i don't think it's just because they got good views on their vlogs here.) They can't all be lying. I'm sure most of them were sincere in saying that. But again, we can't please everyone. Anyway, best wishes on your future travels.

[@EllisWR]

Hey believe it or not most people lie for YT views and then in person they tell you their real feelings. We've had people try rip us off our entire trip it's hard to stay positive when meeting people like that everybody wants money and we just like to chat to people and have nice interactions! You'll see we loved lots of places we've been, Buhi was my all time favourite! I have to say negative things so places can improve 🙏 have an amazing day

[@moondustgirl2132]

@@EllisWR Ofcourse. You have to tell the truth. I didn't say you should hide it. I simply said that i was saddened that PH was your least favorite. And again, i still don't believe that all those vloggers were lying. Maybe some, but not all. I believe some of them genuinely loved PH and some even chose to make PH their home base. Just because you didn't love it here means all vloggers feel the same. Some have good experiences, some don't. Not everyone experiences the same thing. And that's okay. But glad you did love some of the places you visited. Anyway, i already forwarded the tricycle issue to our DOT. Hopefully, they can do something about it. Maybe send some kind of advisory. Coz we of course want to improve tourist experience here. God bless!

[@EllisWR]

@@moondustgirl2132 I'm just telling you what most vloggers tell me sorry! God bless you too wish you all the best 🙏 we still have some videos coming from some of the most beautiful places in the Philippines!

[@moondustgirl2132]

@@EllisWR Thanks :). And I actually thank you also for exposing this. I hope our government shows these tricycle drivers that dishonesty/scamming will not be tolerated here. I'm sure there's some law or ordinance that covers things like this, and i hope it will be imposed more strictly.

After going many country in Asia, you think Thailand still the best ?

Thailand offers a very good retirement visa program for many foreigners. I don't think that applies at all to Ellie and Alishe, they are ... well, a long way away from retirement. They still have a life of work ahead of them I'd say.

[@EllisWR]

@@JayandSarah You'd be correct on that one.

[@JayandSarah]

Good on you for translating those bozo's. I really despise some of these countries where the normal course of business is to try and rip off the tourists. Good on you for walking, I would have done the same. Same as in India, such a shame. Great country, but if you want to spend any time there you are constantly being harassed or someone is trying to scam you.

Wish us luck when we eventually visit India! I won't pay people who try overcharge a penny drives me mad they think we're all stupid!
