Taxi Filippino is the story of a roadtrip through the Cordillera, a mountain region in the Northern Philippines. From the summercapital Baguio to the province of Kalinga, the taxi passes by slums, schools and mining companies, mountain villages and military camps. Corruption is everywhere. More than a thousand people were the victim of political assasination under the regime of president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Hundreds of others vanished. And still the Filippino's have the courage to go on.
