yeah, if they saw you with your white husband they'd charge you more because they'd know you could afford it Elaine and I get this all the time with trikes and taxi's. Next time I'm there I'm going to hide out of the way until she's negotiated the price. When I'm in Manila I refuse to go in a taxi if they won't use the meter.
Be careful in Boracay, most of the bars don't publish the price of drinks. Most have signs outside advertising Happy Hour, but it doesnt actually say what the price is. They'll just charge what they can get away with.
