Hi again! I've been busy on here recently...salamat for all your help.

Joan is coming from Malolos to Manila on Monday for her medical. She is staying at the Lotus Garden Hotel in Ermita. We usually hire Nissan Taxi to bring her to Manila. They charge P1,800 plus tolls. Nissan is closed this weekend for a party. Can you recommend another trustworthy company?

Mahalo/Salamat!

Thanks Everyone,

I sent a note to the Lotus Garden but I haven't heard back---strange, they are usually very good about responding. I sent emails to Hannan and Metrolink...

It's too bad...Nissan has always been great, but I guess they need to party too!

Mahalo/Salamat!

have her take a bus. its not that far.

ive taken a bus in and out of bulacan (even with my son at 7 months old) and never had a problem.

also she can take some UV Express vans going to SM North Edsa then she take a cab from there going to Ermita.

i dont check much at craigsllist but somehow sulit.com is a lil like craigslist. same, there are fakes but there are also real ones. i've been using sulit.com to find condos to rent..there are trusted posters and there are also not.. but if u feel that they are not, u may check those other links i sent besides the prices are almost the same with those in sulit.com

if you can't really find a service then joan might have someone to accompany her to travel esp if she is not familiar with the route to Ermita.

Thanks...I probably wouldn't hesiitate if it was for me but I think I will stick with the other two references you gave me for Joan. Worst case scenario is that she can take a bus to the SM SuperMall and get a taxi to the hotel...not my favorite option, but she took the bus to get her passport. I am really surprised that the hotel has not responded--or the two taxi companies for that mattter!

Good Job! Malolos is not that far from manila specially if we are refering to SM North EDSA.

My personal opinion, since she did it with her passport (kudos to her) she should just do the same.

Don't "baby" her too much as the US is not going to "baby" her. (Meant that in all the good way possible)

BTW - im the benefeciary. :)
