Cheapest way from NAIA airport to Makati or BGC?
Landing at Ninoy Aquino (NAIA) and trying to figure out the airport transfer without getting ripped off.

Grab is your best bet — book it in the app before you leave baggage claim. Expect roughly P250-500 to Makati and P350-600 to BGC depending on traffic and surge. Skip the white 'coupon' taxi touts at arrivals; they overcharge. The MIAA-accredited yellow airport taxis are fine too (flag-down P75 for the first 500m). Allow 45-90 min, longer in rush hour 5-8pm.

Did this last month — Grab worked great but during the evening surge it jumped to almost P700 to BGC, so I waited 20 min and it dropped back to about P400. If you land at Terminal 1 or 3 the Grab pickup bays are well signposted now. Cash or card both fine.
