This is one way to kill Davao City Tourism… some guests of ours landed in the Davao International Airport and were going to take a cab to our house… the taxi’s were charging them 800.00 for the ride… whoa! I don’t remember our house being in Digos, I asked them what particular taxi so we could complain to the operators… he said, all of them when he moved from one lined up taxi to another…

wow! conspiracy among the taxi drivers at the international airport… they didn’t want to put up their meters but rather wanted to pay a fixed rate…

Our guest ended up taking a van which charged them P400.00…

As a Davaoeno I feel ashamed for guests visiting this great city of ours… We should have a visitor complaint booth at our airport…
