Is this correct? I am sure she is right but it sounds amazing.
I rode a FX Taxi (a Toyota Tamaraw FX which usually made a taxi/PUV) once going to Buendia/Makati which has a sign posted in the windows saying "Ang mataba dun sa likod umupo" (Fat should sit at the back) because the front area sits 2 people, the middle area of the FX/van sits 4 people and if a fat person would sit there, it'll only accommodate 3 people and the back of the van/FX can seat 4 people but it has a bigger area... It's funny if you think about it but it's considered as discrimination...
