ONE-MAN TAXI. The Phil habal-habal was featured in an article in a Malaysian newspaper recently. It was called "one-man taxi" in the article although the writer said "one whole family" rides on this "one man taxi" at one time.

COPIED. The article said "this Filipino one-man taxi" is now being copied by some motorcycle owners in Sarawak and Sandakan where many Filipinos from Mindanao and Sulu "reside permanently, though undocumented."
