1000 Peso Protest

For those who are tired of winding through the scattered cones and waiting in long lines at the needless, ramshackle Tipo highway toll booth, please consider registering your displeasure with this example of bad management by the authorities that run the Subic freeport. Visitors driving in from the Clark airport or from Manila can enjoy smooth, modern highways on the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), but as soon as they enter Subic, they face the bumbling incompetence of the Tipo highway toll booth. As a protest, I have started only giving the toll booth takers 1000 peso notes for their 22 peso toll fee. This seems to bring the entire incompetent operation to a grinding halt. The other option is to wrap your 22 pesos in a ball and just throw in the window and drive on. The gate is broken so they have no way to stop you. The sleeping guards with shotguns won't notice.

Let's fix Tipo and stop punishing visitors to Subic!
