I'm pretty sure that's not a word.

At first, I thought it was Yanone Kaffeesatz. But I checked that font and it doesn't seem to match up. While the default lowercase g is the double-storey g, Kaffeesatz actually has an alternate single-storey g glyph in the Opentype file. Seems like a bit of a stretch to assume the designer switched the glyphs of all the lowercase g's. Even if that were true, other little details like the slope of the top of Kaffeesatz' g doesn't seem to match up either. According to Identifont, a likely candidate is FF Dax from FontFont. It looks like Dax Pro Bold Condensed. .... you win this round, Eggnog... However... Comic Sans? really?

Robinsons Cybergate, Cebu What is that font?

Impact at the Philippine House of Representatives

Metro Manila LRT Line 2 Alternating between Arial and Helvetica for some reason. (correct me if I'm wrong)

NAIA 3 Foreign Exchange Booth I don't know why they had to cover the old sign with a new sign that says the same thing only with a different typeface. (And, what? Just because it's "foreign" exchange, it has to be all racist and printed in a stereotypical Chinese take-out font? XD)

Hand-painted, bold faux Gill Sans on a school clinic door.

Katipunan Ave. corner Esteban Abada Really nice typeface and spacing. Anyone know what font that is? Edit: It seems to be Gotham or Avenir or something. Probably Gotham? I haven't looked into it in detail.
