Malate is in Manila.

[edit] Get in

The best way to get to Malate, regardless of what part of the city you come from, is by a cab/ taxi. Make sure to check for the meter before you get in and and that the meter has been activated prior to proceeding as some would try to make you pay more than what you should be paying for. Taxis are affordable and almost all are now air-conditioned and use a meter for the fare. Some drivers may take advantage of tourists but closer regulation by authorities and even the mall operators is curbing this practice slowly. Many taxis are in a poor state of repair and the driving erratic. When hiring a taxi, make sure the the meter starts at 30 Pesos. The LTFRB (Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board) has now instituted hotline numbers to report errant drivers, just take note of the cab name and number. Mall operators also closely monitor the operations of taxis that utilise their taxi ranks by ensuring that cab drivers do not choose only those passengers bound for nearby destinations.
