You wonβt see many tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the βrealβ sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.

Looks dangerousβ¦
They rejected it because it is more expensive. 1ltr. Of gasoline is β±70 and it takes 2ltrs back and forth. So it is more less if you take jeepney which cost maybe 25-30 pesos.
Those people that asking for money is called βbadjaoβ they are the people from Cagayan(Mindanao) that came to iloilo every Christmas season to ask money.
Nice town
the children are singing xmas carol
the trike driver needs a liter of gas to go to your destination.. thats 70 peso…
Those 3 kids singing is Christmas Carolling . After singing you will give them a little amount of money as a kind of generosity.
Welcome to iloilo sir. From sara iloilo.
Hey Ken das GetrΓ€nk Mugo Mugo von Seven Eleven, gibt es auch in Deutschland π
Wie immer super vlog ππ½
Salamat β€
Are you going to visit Northern Luzon? Baguio, for example.
Tricycles most of the time charge more if it's not their route ,specially if it's far just like in this case molo to plaza libertad is a bit far ,.it's better to take a jeepney it's cheaper..
The kids are christmas carolers. They will sing 2 or 3 songs and if you dont give money, they will just leave you.
Wow,Germany just beat Costa Rica i the world cup.
Molo to Plaza Libertad is quite too far for Tricycle.. We normally use Jeep to go that far.. Better use jeepneys then ask what jeep to go there. 150-200 pesos is a fair price. Better take Taxi.
You may try to visit also the Festive Walk in Megaworld at night π
Wow thank you for appreciating our province. Done subscribing
Coz it's out of their routes. Where you are going is very far. So they said 1 litre of gasoline 1 way so total 2 litre. And it's expensive per litre. I think maybe the profit the driver get from you is around 50p or little more. So don't think theyll cheat you. It's just an honest fair
gas price there is high.
for an equivalent of under 3 dollars is a deal.
140gasoline+10profit. That's what the guy earned
The driver said too far for his route because its cost more gasoline thats why they charge you a lot better to take jeep its cheap.
You can find honest people in iloilo. They work hard amd not taking advantage foriegner.
Fuel too expensive and distance too far, that's why they don't want to take you.
Mr Germany 200 bangod kay gen Akupar mo tricyle kn gusto mo maka less the moment nga naga lakat kamu sa emu friend pakadto sa tricyle nga nag sukot sa emu php200 may naka park nga jeep nalabayan nio amu na ang naga biyahe pa plaza libertad fare ya php10… para sa akon oki na man na mag php200 sukot ya sa emu kg sa friend mo, mahal man ang gasolina generous na lng kg compassion sa tricyle driver ππβββ
Omg! π± Welcome to Iloilo! Hope to see you here!
200 is reasonable Sir Ken
Great vid
hi ken..remember were the guys from guimeras ,the guys that offer a drink and pork adobo..
They have designated route where they can only pick up passenger. Since ur destination is going to plaza libertad, they are charging you more since it is out of their designated route and if incases traffic police will caught them, thet will be fined and will pay thousands of pesos. Anyways, i hope u will enjoy ur visit in the city of love. More power to you and ur channel. Thank you for featuring iloilo city
LOL, tricycle drivers don't usually drive from Molo to Plaza libertad (can't take direct route during the day); from midnight maybe. Php150 is cheap for thay route for 2 person. You can easily ride a jeepney from there. Surprised the driver agreed π.
Yo, I'm just asking. Why are you guys here alll of a sudden? Too many vloggers hitting Iloilo recently. Did you get paid by Trenas or something?
For tricycles, usually thereβs a designated tricycle per area or per barangay, you can identify them by the color of the tricycle and sometimes theyβre not allowed to travel outside of their designated areas. Tricyles is only for short distance travel only unlike the jeepneys.
Tricycles are only for short runs within their districts, jeeps are for longer runs between districts. It is actually illegal for the tricycle to cross districts and had he been caught by the traffic police he would have had a huge fine to pay.
You really should have taken a jeep, paid much less and spared the drivers from getting fined in case.
When in doubt, ask the police for help.
Masarap = namit namit (gid ya… ) in hiligaynon
the 1st tricycle driver declined you because of the cost of the gasoline and wants you to take a jeepney which will only cost P12 from Molo plaza to Libertad plaza
