Ermita

Ermita is in Manila.

Taxis from Manila International Airport will cost you a poverty-inducing 550PHP if you insist on taking an 'official' airport taxi. Non-'official', metered taxis are also legitimate and can be had just by walking away from the airport a bit. As with the ride from the domestic airport, barring severe traffic, a trip to Ermita should not cost more than 200PHP
