Bali is not a problem because there ARE plenty of reliable taxies so you can easily avoid scam taxies by sticking to a reputable company. Bluebird would be the sure bet. And since a taxi ride across town is likely to cost you less than $2 it is one of the best taxi spots on the planet.

Manila deserves dishonorable mention in the rotten category.
