2,000 pesos is about 45 dollars, that is one very expensive taxi ride, and they only got about US$146.
Cocoa:
Or they thought it was 1700+. They didn't see the decimal point, and maybe that's why they paid 2000 pesos

I'm not Filipino and I down balut rather easily. :umn: Can't do the dance at all, but I could probably catch pigs because I've chased chickens before and I can build a raft.
The rhythm based detours aren't great in any season. People avoid those like the plague.

Remember they are from Australia... $45 for a taxi fare is pretty standard here in Australia (or at least in Perth... dunno about the rest). If they haven't travelled much it may not have seemed that unusual to them.

I thought they paid 2,500 or was it "2,000 fine" - take a hear again at 28:24 of the video. Interestingly the teachers paid 341 pesos (about USD8), just before sticky & sam paid their taxi driver, and an earlier clip showed "176.50" on s&s's taxi meter, but s&s did mentioned that they have only 2,000 and "it's all yours", "yours" to the driver.
Yes, they overpaid as they didn't see the "dot" before the last 2 digits. :-[
