Huli Ka!
If I had a hundred peso reward for every private-yellow-license-plate-bearing-taxi I get on camera then I say that's a great alternative to being a problogger because it would provide me a regular source of income on a daily basis.
That one way of saying that there are SOOOOO MANYYY taxicabs in the city bearing a green license plate which should only be used by private vehicles. Turns out that the Land Transportation Office is so inept its personnel couldn't see these taxicabs even if the cabs run pass their noses everyday.
Keith Bacongco himself spotted a Mabuhay Taxi bearing a green license plate. I caught this one, I think it’s an Alleyaa (did I get the spelling right?) on this photo last Tuesday and that’s not even the whole story. A few minutes after passing that taxi, I saw two taxis parked along the side of the Matina highway---bearing green license plates. And then another one in Juna after 5 minutes. I did not bother getting their photos anymore. It's tiring, you know especially when its the people at the LTO who are getting paid for the job I was doing.

The Land Transportation Office seems to be slacking it out. A Mabuhay Taxi with green license plates has been caught on camera several weeks ago. Another taxi unit, this time owned by Holiday, has been caught on cam again just last Saturday, along Central Bank at Quirino Avenue.
From hereon, DatelineDavao will be spying on private and public utility vehicles violating the LTO law as well as other environmental laws, try to catch them on cam and post such violations here, with the hope that the LTO will finally catch up with these people.

Taxi: public or private?
Is anything wrong with this photo?
Well, the photo looks just right even if taken while the photographer was mobile. However, something is wrong with this Maligaya taxi's plate number. This taxi traveled all the way from Matina, through the Ulas police outpost (where Land Transportation People are usually stationed) and onto Mintal and yet no authority seems to have noticed its problematic plates.
Taxi units are for hire vehicles and are supposed to have yellow plate numbers. So why is this taxi ferrying passengers with a green plate?
