Airport transfer in Manila between Terminals 1 and 3

I am soon going on a tour to the Philippines (Cebu) with a stop in Manila. There, I need to transfer from terminal 1 (which serves for international flights only) to terminal 3 (domestic flights only). The two flights in and out of Manila are booked on different airlines. According to my search on the internet, I could find out that one may either take a (yellow airport) taxi (for maximum 200 PHP) or use the "new" shuttle service of the airport.
I have only three hours to make the transfer and have to get my luggage and check in for the next flight. Which way should I do it, in order to make my connection?

I would strongly recommend using the official shuttle, which can cross through airport grounds. Taxis need to use public roads around the airport, which can get extremely (as in, hours stuck in traffic) congested.

Seconded. Stay off the public roads if you can. Manila has extremely bad traffic. Even so, it will probably not be a very relaxed few hours.

Thank you for your tip! I actually took the white taxi as otherwise I would have to wait half an hour for the next shutle bus. Even though we just had 1h 30min to get from our arriving flight to terminal 3 (plane delayed badly), we could still make it in time, paying 300 PHP for the taxi from terminal 1 to 3. However, we could already see that the other lane / the way back was full of traffic... So we might have been a bit lucky... Still, I hope to be able to get the shuttle bus on the way home. Nevertheless, if your very last chance is using the taxi, it might be worth a try :)

Yellow taxis charge an exorbitant rate and has been reported to use dishonest meters. Try to ask help from the security personnel where to catch a regular taxi (there should be a taxi bay). They are cheaper and more often than not are honest enough to charge you fairly and bring you to your destination safely.
Hope you'll enjoy your visit in my beautiful country.

The attached map shows Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Notice that Terminal 3 is just right in front of Resorts World Manila so you've got a landmark to tell the taxi driver but that should be pretty well known to the driver.
Yellow taxis charge an exorbitant rate and has been reported to use dishonest meters. Try to ask help from the security personnel where to catch a regular taxi (there should be a taxi bay). They are cheaper and more often than not are honest enough to charge you fairly and bring you to your destination safely.
Hope you'll enjoy your visit in my beautiful country.
