To all Filipinos here in Metro Manila or even outside knew what tactics does every taxi drivers did after paying out your fair rate according to their meter. Sometimes, taxi drivers will alibi that they do not have enough change for your money which ends up on giving them much.
The Automated Poll System is a technology for counting votes automatically. This system is using a poll counting software that is installed on a computer which is also connected via network and internet. This is what most of the Filipinos wanted to be done on the National Election. Many Filipinos think that with this system, it is much safer and faster to undergo the counting of votes. The months long will become a week or more only.
The Overseas Filipino Workers or also known as OFW are the new age heroes for the Philippines.

The Pasig River is a body of water that you can find at the heart of Metro Manila. This river connects the Laguna de Bay into the Manila Bay.

Last June 2008, I posted about the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 entitled “NAIA 3, the New Airport.” I discussed before about the soon to be open airport here in Manila, Philippines. Now I got some pictures for our fellow “kababayans” that are out in the country and also for some Filipinos that are still here. Here are some of the pictures taken inside the airport.
LRT (Light Rail Transit) is the elevated railway system servicing almost thousands of Filipinos everyday.
