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.
Please 'LIKE' the video and 'SUBSCRIBE' if you enjoyed watching. It really does help my channel.
If you want to help us keep travelling and giving back to hardworking local people you can support us right here:

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.

Well, the blue tricycles which are in blue colors are MUTODAs, they are usually on the queue and wait for their turn to load up passengers which might take hours of waiting to take their turn. And they do have specific and designated line destination and usually having several few trips in a day. So what did happen there was the asked 300 pesos was the "rent price" which might be equivalent to a back and forth charge for a full loaded trip (5-6 passengers) plus they were out of their franchise line. I dont think that is really an overpriced/dishonest asked rental fee on that specific situation especially inorogan is a remote mountain part and its rare that tricycles are going there. And for the guy who brought you there in a yellow tricycle was part of the NIATODA line which are always on the move and probably somehow inorogan might be part of their franchise line. They are usually asking the minimum fare which might be around 13-15 pesos per passenger since they are free to pickup passengers within the city line and the highway line to Baao in which Inorogan is partly located on these barangays. I dont think the other guy is being dishonest or taking advantage of you. Because I myself is paying say 100 pesos a ride "within the city/main line/bus terminal" for a rented tricycle. Thank you anyway for coming 😊

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.

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.

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.

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.

I never knew that vloggers/tourist has reached iriga city I used to travel there when I was in college but to tell everyone that just don't trust this kind of vloggers just because you have seen this from another vloggers' experiences about scams. I'd like to tell people, that every of the tricycle has its metrics system for fare just like any trains in europe... Every color of the tricycle would only travel for its specific place the reason why they ask for 300' its the total of their earnings for the whole day or every travel. That blue tricycle would only go to our so called mountain unit we all know how far might it take traveling back and forth. Hoping that vloggers to please do some research first about culture even the aggressive tone there in iriga is normal since that how you speak in our dialect.
