How To Get To SM City North EDSA From Greenhills
For Driving Directions to SM City North EDSA from different locations, go to Driving Directions To SM City North EDSA.
Here's the best way to take to get to SM City North EDSA from Greenhills both by driving and commuting. You only need one jeepney ride and one bus ride to get to SM North from Greenhills.
By Car
The short cut and the best route to get to SM North from Greenhills is to take Ortigas Avenue. Take the lane going towards LRT-2 which is in Gilmore. So it's the reverse of going towards MRT-3 which is in EDSA. You drive away from EDSA.
Stay to the middle of Ortigas Avenue and cross intersections of Roosevelt, Madison and Santolan Road. After you cross Santolan Road, street name changes to Granada. Ortigas Avenue ends up in Santolan Road.
Drive on Granada and after crossing few small streets and a bridge, you will get to see a main road intersecting Granada where from the distance a tall building is visible standing at the right corner. This road is N. Domingo Street. Granada ends up in N. Domingo and its opposite road is Gilmore. Don't cross N. Domingo and don't pass through Gilmore because Gilmore is one way from the opposite end which is in E. Rodriguez and the traffic goes towards Granada.
Turn right onto N. Domingo Street. The road that serves as the opposite lane of Gilmore going to E. Rodriguez is Dona M. Hemady, which is next to Gilmore, to the left of N. Domingo. Turn left on Dona M. Hemady Street, cross Aurora Boulevard where LRT-2 elevated track passes through and drive all the way to E. Rodriguez Sr Avenue, the busy street where public jeepneys that ply Cubao-Quiapo route pass through.
Upon approach to E. Rodriguez, you must change lane to the right because a lot of vehicles on your lane would turn left. Turn right onto E. Rodriguez Sr Avenue. At this point, your next turn to the left would be Tomas Morato Avenue.
Tomas Morato doesn't intersect or cross E. Rodriguez. It only begins to the left of E. Rodrigues. That means Tomas Morato Avenue is perpendicular to E. Rodriguez. And the distance from the corner of Dona M. Hemady and E. Rodriguez up to the corner of Tomas Morato and E. Rodriguez is approximately 143 meters only.
So, after about 80 meters, you can change your lane to the left in preparation for the left turn to Tomas Morato. Upon approach to this junction, you will immediately see the traffic lights from the distance.
Turn left on Tomas Morato and drive all the way up to the opposite end which is perpendicular to Eugenio Lopez Avenue. Before you get to Eugenio Lopez, you will cross intersection of Kamuning and other small roads before you reach the rotonda of Boy Scout Circle. Pass through the Boy Scout Circle, then turn right back to Tomas Morato, drive on and after crossing small intersections of Scout Madrinan, Scout Borromeo and Scout Bayoran, turn left on Eugenio Lopez where ABS CBN Headquarters is located to your right.
Driving on E. Lopez, you will pass by Pinoy Big Brother House to your left before you get to the next junction where you must turn right onto the next street of Mother Ignacia Avenue. From Mother Ignacia, turn left on the next street which is Sgt Esguerra Avenue. In Sgt. Esguerra, cross the next intersection of Panay Avenue, then turn right onto Quezon Avenue.
In Quezon Avenue, next intersection is EDSA. As you can see, this is a crossing of two main thoroughfares of Metro Manila. So expect traffic here especially where EDSA and Quezon Avenue meet. Turn right onto EDSA and immediately turn left on the first U-Turn slot next to Quezon Avenue, just beneath the EDSA-Quezon Avenue flyover. Complete the U-Turn to get back to EDSA, this time on north lane. Cross Quezon Avenue intersection, stay on EDSA and drive all the way up to North Avenue where Trinoma is situated at the corner of EDSA and North. Turn right onto North Avenue but immediately change lane to the left and turn left on the next left turn going to SM City North EDSA. Follow direction to the Car Park building or to the open parking located to the opposite end of the road.
By Bus/Jeepney
From Greenhills Shopping Center, go the opposite side of Ortigas Avenue via pedestrian overpass. Ride a jeepney with "Robinson Galleria EDSA" sign or take the aircon G-Liner bus bound for Taytay. Both jeepney and bus will cross EDSA. Alight after the they cross EDSA and stop at the unloading area in Robinson's Galleria. Walk towards the bus bay or loading area along EDSA near corner Ortigas in front of Robinson's Galleria entrance.
Ride a bus with any of these signs: "Monumento", "Malanday" and "Novaliches"
Tip: Look for bus with additional information written at their sign that read "Cubao Ilalim". If you ride a bus with "Cubao Ibabaw" wording on its sign, you spend longer time on the bus as it will stand longer in Cubao to fill the bus with more passengers. Besides, traffic there is so heavy you might get irritated. So take Ilalim (e.g. Monumento Cubao Ilalim).
The bus will take approximately 8 kilometers distance to SM North EDSA where it will stop by SM North EDSA Bus Bay.
By MRT
Alternatively, you can take MRT. Walk your way to Ortigas Station of MRT-3, ride a North bound train and alight at the last station of North Avenue. Enter Trinoma Mall and follow direction to the other door and from there use the footbridge that connects Trinoma to SM North EDSA.

How To Get To Intramuros Via MRT
Intramuros is situated approximately 6 kilometers from the MRT-3. To get to Intramuros via MRT, you need to take another train via LRT-1 with its nearest station, Central Terminal, located approximately half kilometer from Intramuros. Alight at Central Terminal Station and walk the 500-meter distance Intramuros gate. If you're not fond of walking, there's another route where you only need to walk a little bit. You'll get to know it towards the end of this post.
From your location, ride an MRT train bound for Taft. After getting off the train at Taft Avenue Station, take the exit to the right of the station. Avoid entering Metropoint Mall which is connected to the station. Instead, walk towards the footbridge that connects MRT-3 Taft Station to LRT-1 EDSA Station. From the turnstile (exit machine where you insert train ticket) of Taft Station, just go to the left of the only elevator at that part of the station. To the right of the elevator is Metropoint Mall's entrance.
At the end of the footbridge is EDSA Station of LRT-1, buy your train ticket and tell the seller your going to Central Station. Ride the train bound for Monumento/Roosevelt and alight at Central Terminal.
You need to be reminded that there are times, drivers of LRT trains don't announce train's arrival to a station, so if you're not used to traveling by MRT and LRT, you might go beyond your destination. To help you with this, just remember Central Terminal is the eight station from EDSA, with Libertad Station being the second, followed respectively by Gil Puyat, Vito Cruz, Quirino, Pedro Gil and U.N. Avenue Station. Next to U.N. Station is the Central Terminal Station.
From Central Station, walk southward or towards Manila City Hall along the road underneath LRT elevated tracks. That road is Villegas Road. You can easily see Manila City Hall because its clock tower is very visible from the distance. Once you got to Manila City Hall, you can immediately see SM City Manila to your left. Turn right on the road that intersects Villegas and the road that borders Manila City Hall to the north. That road is Natividad Almeda-Lopez. Walk towards Padre Burgos Avenue, the main road and a wide one where passenger jeepneys bound for different locations such as Quiapo, Cubao, Divisoria, Monumento, Sta Cruz, Blumentritt, etc., pass through. You need to get to the other side of Padre Burgos and walk further along Victoria Street, the road opposite Natividad Almeda-Lopez. Don't walk across Padre Burgos to avoid MMDA (traffic enforcers) apprehension.
Use pedestrian underpass which is located along Padre Burgos few meters from the corner of Natividad Lopez along the edge of Manila City Hall building.
Once you get to the corner of Victoria and Padre Burgos, just walk towards the other end of Victoria until you get to Victoria Entrance of Intramuros. For your guide, see the map for Walking Direction To Intramuros From LRT-1 Central Terminal Station. Click here
Alternatively, you can get to Intramuros without walking that far. You only need to walk around 90 meters to a gate of Intramuros from a drop-off or unloading zone of jeepneys. This route involves a 5.7 kilometers jeepney ride.
Here's the route.
Riding an LRT-1 train from EDSA Station, alight at Libertad Station, next station to EDSA.
Walk towards the corner of Taft Avenue and Libertad Street where a Philtrust Bank is located. Libertad is now known as Arnaiz Avenue, though Libertad is still being used.
Along Libertad Street aka Arnaiz Avenue near corner Taft, wait for a jeepney with "Pier Harrison Plaza Luna" sign in front of it. Don't ride jeepney with "Harrison Plaza" sign only. There must be "Pier" word at the sign.
Ride one of these jeepneys, and ask the driver to drop you off at "Round Table", a popular landmark way back then that I never known existed. I just notice all passengers going to that area say to drivers "Round Table". The funny thing is "Round Table" location don't have any sign of round but a clear triangular junction where jeepneys pass through. You will get off exactly at one of the corner of that triangular junction. So, you might wonder, "This is not a round table, this is a triangular table". LOL. Anyway, they really call that "Round Table". Try it, ask the driver to drop you off at "Round Table" and you will definitely find yourself standing at triangular road network. See the map below.
Maybe, we can ask our fellow readers for their input or opinion on how come this area is called "Round Table" when there's no sign of round area but a triangular open space inside a triangle. If you know the answer, let us know. Click here
From the unloading area at "Round Table", you can now easily see the historic wall of Intramuros, just a short walk away.

The best way to get to Chino Roces formerly known as Pasong Tamo from Sampaloc, if you're not in a hurry, is to go to Quiapo, particularly near Quiapo Church, where an air-conditioned bus bound to Ayala Avenue Makati stands for about 30 minutes to wait for passengers. This bus takes President Osmena Highway and Gil Puyat Avenue formerly Buendia then it crosses Chino Roces Avenue on the way to Ayala Avenue.
Chino Roces Avenue is a long road. Approximately, it runs 5.7 kilometers from its northern tip in J.P. Rizal Street down to its southern tip in Lawton Avenue.

Ride a Baclaran bound train and alight at Gil Puyat Avenue Station where you ride a jeepney with "PRC" sign along Gil Puyat. PRC here means Philippine Racing Club. This jeep takes Gil Puyat and passes through Chino Roces northern part from De La Rosa Street up to J.P. Rizal Street on its way to PRC. If your destination is located to the south of Chino Roces Avenue, just get off the jeepney at the corner of De La Rosa Street or Gil Puyat Avenue. Ride another jeepney, this time with "Mantrade" sign. This jeepney goes southward, towards EDSA where its terminal is located.
If you're going to PDIC or Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation, ride the jeepney with "Mantrade" sign. If your destination is Makati Coliseum, ride the jeepney with "PRC" sign.

How To Commute To IL Terrazzo
IL Terrazzo is a high end Mall located at the corner of Tomas Morato and Scout Madrinan in South Triangle, Quezon City. There's already a post here in DirectionsOnWeb about driving directions to IL Terrazzo. To get there by car, go to Driving Directions To IL Terrazzo
Here's how to get to this mall by jeepney, bus and LRT/MRT.
Route #1
From Alabang, Metropolis Starmall, Sucat, Bicutan, Festival Mall, Filinvest City, southern Tagalog provinces of Batangas, Laguna and Quezon and all areas near to these locations.
In Alabang near Metropolis, ride a bus with "Fairview" sign. This bus will take the approximately 26.5 kilometers distance from Alabang up to Kamias corner EDSA where you must get off.
From the corner of Kamias and EDSA where a Jollibee is located, go to the other side of EDSA where the opposite road of Kamias is Kamuning Road. At the corner of Kamuning and EDSA, there's a lot of jeepneys that stop to pick up passengers. Ride a jeepney with "Welcome Rotonda Timog" or "Pantranco Roces Timog" sign. Don't ride "Quiapo Welcome Rotonda" as this jeepney takes different route.
You will get off at a part of Boy Scout Circle where Imperial Palace stands. Imperial Palace is at the corner of Tomas Morato and Timog, but because there's a rotonda or roundabout at this intersection, it's important that you alight at the part of Boy Scout Circle that's near to your destination and in this case Imperial Palace is near to IL Terrazzo. Besides, the only familiar landmark to all drivers is Imperial Palace. So, ask the driver to drop you off at "Imperial Palace". Once you got off exactly where I said, IL Terrazzo is already visible from the distance, located to the left of Tomas Morato. Imperial Palace is at your right, walk towards the next street which is Scout Madrinan, and to the left corner is the IL Terrazzo.
Route #2
From Mall of Asia or MOA, Pasay Rotonda, Taft, Harrison Street, Heritage Hotel, Metropoint Mall, Mantrade, Southgate Mall, Ayala Avenue, Magallanes, Guadalupe, JP Rizal, Pasig, Mandaluyong, EDSA-Crossing, Shangri-la Plaza, Megamall, Boni, Greenhills, Santolan and areas near to MRT-3 Stations.
Go to the nearest MRT Station such as Taft Station if you're from MOA, Heritage and Harrison; Magallanes if you're from Mantrade; Ayala Station if you're from Ayala Avenue Greenbelt and Glorietta; Guadalupe Station if you're from Fort Bonifacio, Market Market and JP Rizal; Boni Station if you're from Gabby's and Mandaluyong; Shaw Boulevard Station; Ortigas Station; Anapolis Santolan Station, etc.
Ride a north bound train and get off at GMA Kamuning Station. From the train station walk towards Timog Avenue corner EDSA where GMA 7 Network Inc Channel 7's big building is located. Along Timog Avenue near corner EDSA, jeepneys with "Cubao Arayat" sign pass through. They stop for a while to pick up passengers. Ride one of these jeepneys and pay minimum fare. Get off at Scout Ybardolaza Street. No need to remember this because the jeepney will turn left on Ybardolaza from Timog Avenue. So, once the jeep turns left from Timog, alight.
Walk along Timog towards the opposite end until you see the Boy Scout Circle and the Imperial Palace at the corner of Timog Avenue and Tomas Morato. Turn right onto Tomas Morato, walk further until you see IL Terrazzo Mall to your left at the corner of Tomas Morato and Scout Madrinan Street.
Route #3
From Cavite, Imus, Tagaytay, Alabang-Zapote Road, South Mall, Baclaran, Paranaque and other areas near to these locations.
Ride any bus or jeepney bound to Baclaran. In Baclaran, there are terminals of buses, MMDA Bus terminal, located at the service road of Roxas Boulevard in front of the gate of Redemptorist Church.
Now you have 2 options: Slow 2-ride and Fast 3-ride.
Slow 2-ride:
Ride a bus with "Fairview" sign. This bus will traverse the approximately 15 kilometers distance from Baclaran up to Kamias corner EDSA where you must alight. It's slow and takes longer time of commuting because of heavy traffic along the way and because of extended time drivers spend in loading terminals. That's the first ride. For the second ride, please refer to Route #1 and read the part after the commuter gets off at Kamias corner EDSA.
Fast 3-ride:
From Baclaran, still at the bus terminal, ride any bus except the bus with "Ayala Leveriza" on its sign. You can ride bus with "Monumento", "Fairview" or "Novaliches" sign. Only make sure it doesn't have the word "Ayala Leveriza". Ask the conductor to drop you off at Mantrade. From drop off point, walk towards MRT-3 Magallanes Station and ride a north bound train. Why Magallanes Station, instead of Taft Station? Because Taft Station is jam-packed all the time. It's always like a sardines, too crowded and you need to be patient in getting ticket. But if you have a prepaid card or stored value card, then take Taft Station. But if you have to buy card or ticket first, then the smart thing to do is to ride the train in Magallanes Station where it's more comfortable, the number of passengers buying card is manageable.
Alight at GMA Kamuning Station. That's your second ride. For your third ride, please refer to Route #2 and read the part where the commuter rides a jeepney along Timog near corner EDSA.
Route #4
From Espana, Quiapo, UST, Dimasalang, Lacson Avenue, Araneta Avenue, Welcome Rotonda and other areas near to these locations.
First you need to get to Welcome Rotonda. Ride any jeepney or bus that passes through Welcome Rotonda. In Welcome Rotonda, the sign of jeepneys that plies the route that pass through near IL Terrazzo contains either "Proj. 2-3" or "Timog". Now, confusion might arise that will lead to wrong direction. That's because there are also jeepneys from Quiapo with the same sign, "Proj. 2-3", that pass by Welcome Rotonda. Do not ride any of these jeepneys. They take different route, via E. Rodrigues Avenue. You will get lost the moment you ride a Project 2-3 bound jeepney from Quiapo.
What you do is go across E. Rodriguez where the Project 2-3 bound via Timog jeepney stop to pick up passengers. These jeepneys are the ones who pick up passengers in EDSA-Kamuning. They take Quezon Avenue from Welcome Rotonda and turn right onto Timog Avenue. So the key here is Quezon Avenue route and not E. Rodriguez. Ride one of these jeepneys and ask driver to drop you off at Imperial Palace, that's the common reference known to driver. Don't say IL Terrazo or Boy Scout Circle. Imperial Palace is the known landmark there. As soon as you get off, you'll see the huge building of Imperial Palace Suites. Go towards the direction of Imperial Palace Suites.
Once you're standing in front of Imperial Palace, specifically at the part where 7-11 store is located. IL Terrazzo is already visible from the distance to the left of Tomas Morato. Just walk towards the next street that intersects Tomas Morato which is Scout Madrinan, cross the road to get near IL Terrazzo.
Route #5
From Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Bagong Barrio, R. Papa, 5th Avenue, Tondo and other areas near to these locations.
Ride any bus or jeepney bound to Monumento. In Monumento or 5th Avenue corner Rizal Avenue, ride a bus going to Makati or Cubao via EDSA. Ask the conductor to drop you off at MRT. Actually, all buses that pass through EDSA stops at MRT-3 North Station because a lot of commuters alight there to ride train. So, as for you, get off too at North Station of MRT-3.
Ride a south bound train or train bound to Taft Station, get off at GMA Kamuning Station and follow the direction given in Route #2. Just read the part after the commuter gets off the train at GMA Kamuning Station.
This is the route I recommend because all buses passing through EDSA takes EDSA Kamuning flyover and you need to walk way too far if you choose to alight at the unloading station located before the bus ascends the flyover.
Route #6
From Pampanga, Bulacan, Novaliches and other areas near to these lcoations.
Ride an FX going to either SM City North EDSA or Trinoma. Walk to North Station of MRT-3. Ride a train bound to Taft, get off at GMA Kamuning Station and follow the direction given in Route #2. Just read the part after the commuter getS off the train at GMA Kamuning Station.

Ride a bus with "Fairview" sign. This bus will traverse the approximately 15 kilometers distance from Baclaran up to Kamias corner EDSA where you must alight. It's slow and takes longer time of commuting because of heavy traffic along the way and because of extended time drivers spend in loading terminals. That's the first ride. For the second ride, please refer to Route #1 and read the part after the commuter gets off at Kamias corner EDSA.
Fast 3-ride:
From Baclaran, still at the bus terminal, ride any bus except the bus with "Ayala Leveriza" on its sign. You can ride bus with "Monumento", "Fairview" or "Novaliches" sign. Only make sure it doesn't have the word "Ayala Leveriza". Ask the conductor to drop you off at Mantrade. From drop off point, walk towards MRT-3 Magallanes Station and ride a north bound train. Why Magallanes Station, instead of Taft Station? Because Taft Station is jam-packed all the time. It's always like a sardines, too crowded and you need to be patient in getting ticket. But if you have a prepaid card or stored value card, then take Taft Station. But if you have to buy card or ticket first, then the smart thing to do is to ride the train in Magallanes Station where it's more comfortable, the number of passengers buying card is manageable.
Alight at GMA Kamuning Station. That's your second ride. For your third ride, please refer to Route #2 and read the part where the commuter rides a jeepney along Timog near corner EDSA.
Route #4
From Espana, Quiapo, UST, Dimasalang, Lacson Avenue, Araneta Avenue, Welcome Rotonda and other areas near to these locations.
First you need to get to Welcome Rotonda. Ride any jeepney or bus that passes through Welcome Rotonda. In Welcome Rotonda, the sign of jeepneys that plies the route that pass through near IL Terrazzo contains either "Proj. 2-3" or "Timog". Now, confusion might arise that will lead to wrong direction. That's because there are also jeepneys from Quiapo with the same sign, "Proj. 2-3", that pass by Welcome Rotonda. Do not ride any of these jeepneys. They take different route, via E. Rodrigues Avenue. You will get lost the moment you ride a Project 2-3 bound jeepney from Quiapo.
What you do is go across E. Rodriguez where the Project 2-3 bound via Timog jeepney stop to pick up passengers. These jeepneys are the ones who pick up passengers in EDSA-Kamuning. They take Quezon Avenue from Welcome Rotonda and turn right onto Timog Avenue. So the key here is Quezon Avenue route and not E. Rodriguez. Ride one of these jeepneys and ask driver to drop you off at Imperial Palace, that's the common reference known to driver. Don't say IL Terrazo or Boy Scout Circle. Imperial Palace is the known landmark there. As soon as you get off, you'll see the huge building of Imperial Palace Suites. Go towards the direction of Imperial Palace Suites.
Once you're standing in front of Imperial Palace, specifically at the part where 7-11 store is located. IL Terrazzo is already visible from the distance to the left of Tomas Morato. Just walk towards the next street that intersects Tomas Morato which is Scout Madrinan, cross the road to get near IL Terrazzo.
Route #5
From Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Bagong Barrio, R. Papa, 5th Avenue, Tondo and other areas near to these locations.
Ride any bus or jeepney bound to Monumento. In Monumento or 5th Avenue corner Rizal Avenue, ride a bus going to Makati or Cubao via EDSA. Ask the conductor to drop you off at MRT. Actually, all buses that pass through EDSA stops at MRT-3 North Station because a lot of commuters alight there to ride train. So, as for you, get off too at North Station of MRT-3.
Ride a south bound train or train bound to Taft Station, get off at GMA Kamuning Station and follow the direction given in Route #2. Just read the part after the commuter gets off the train at GMA Kamuning Station.
This is the route I recommend because all buses passing through EDSA takes EDSA Kamuning flyover and you need to walk way too far if you choose to alight at the unloading station located before the bus ascends the flyover.
Route #6
From Pampanga, Bulacan, Novaliches and other areas near to these lcoations.
Ride an FX going to either SM City North EDSA or Trinoma. Walk to North Station of MRT-3. Ride a train bound to Taft, get off at GMA Kamuning Station and follow the direction given in Route #2. Just read the part after the commuter getS off the train at GMA Kamuning Station.

Driving DIrection From Greenhills To Tomas Morato
You can get to Tomas Morato from Greenhills by taking Ortigas Avenue. Take the lane going towards LRT-2 which is in Gilmore. So it's the reverse of going towards MRT-3 which is in EDSA. You drive away from EDSA.
Stay to the middle of Ortigas Avenue and cross intersections of Roosevelt, Madison and Santolan Road. After you cross Santolan Road, street name changes to Granada. Ortigas Avenue ends up in Santolan Road.
Drive on Granada and after crossing few small streets and a bridge, you will get to see a main road intersecting Granada where from the distance a tall building is visible standing at the right corner. This road is N. Domingo Street. Granada ends up in N. Domingo and its opposite road is Gilmore. Don't cross N. Domingo and don't pass through Gilmore because Gilmore is one way from the opposite end which is in E. Rodriguez towards Granada.
Turn right onto N. Domingo Street. The road that serves as the opposite lane of Gilmore going to E. Rodriguez is Dona M. Hemady, which is next to Gilmore, to the left of N. Domingo. Turn left on Dona M. Hemady Street, cross Aurora Boulevard where LRT-2 elevated track passes through and drive all the way to E. Rodriguez Sr Avenue, the busy street where public jeepneys that ply Cubao-Quiapo route pass through.
Upon approach to E. Rodriguez, you must change lane to the right because a lot of vehicles on your lane would turn left. Turn right onto E. Rodriguez Sr Avenue. At this point, your next turn to the left would be already your destination - Tomas Morato Avenue.
Tomas Morato doesn't intersect or cross E. Rodriguez. It only begins to the left of E. Rodrigues. That means Tomas Morato Avenue is perpendicular to E. Rodriguez. And the distance from the corner of Dona M. Hemady and E. Rodriguez up to the corner of Tomas Morato and E. Rodriguez is approximately 143 meters only.
So, after about 80 meters, you can change your lane to the left in preparation for the left turn to Tomas Morato. Upon approach to this junction, you will immediately see the traffic lights from the distance and it's a main intersection so there's no reason you don't get it.
Turn left onto Tomas Morato and head towards your destination. If you want to know more spots such as clubs, bars, KTVs, restaurants, malls, food plaza and other destinations located along Tomas Morato, go to How To Get To Timog's Nightspots And Tomas Morato's Nightlife Destinations or use our Search Direction Box on the sidebar.

Direction Bytes: To Mall Of Asia From Espana
How to commute from Espana to Mall of Asia or MOA?
You have two options - route #1, by jeepney and route #2, by LRT.
Route #1
To get to MOA by jeepney, you only need two rides but it takes longer time on the road because of the heavy traffic especially in major Taft Avenue intersections. Here's the route:
Ride a jeepney anywhere in Espana with "Baclaran Taft" sign. These jeepney comes from Aurora Boulevard in Cubao and plies the route of Baclaran-Cubao. Ask the driver to drop you off at Gil Puyat Avenue. You will easily know you're already in Gil Puyat because Gil Puyat Avenue is the only wide road with center island that intersects Taft Avenue. And there's the LRT-1 Gil Puyat Station right above the intersection.
Along Gil Puyat Avenue near corner Taft Avenue, there's the big JAC Bus Terminal. Walk towards that terminal. Walk further past that terminal until you see the terminal of MOA shuttle up ahead along Gil Puyat about 20 meters from JAC Terminal. You won't miss it as there are barkers, many of them, calling out for passengers going to MOA.
The fare is minimum and the shuttle stops exactly at its terminal in MOA. All passengers alight there. Remember the location of the terminal as this is where you will board the same shuttle to get home.
Route #2
To get to MOA by train, you still need to ride jeepney and shuttle, but the long journey from Quiapo to Gil Puyat is by train, making your travel fast as you get to avoid heavy traffics in the ground. Here's the route to take:
From anywhere in Espana, ride a jeepney with "Quiapo" on its sign. Get off at Quiapo. Walk towards the opposite side of Quiapo Church and walk further towards the Carriedo Station of LRT-1. You could already see Carriedo Station from Quiapo Church, as the station is above ground. Ride a south bound train or "Baclaran" bound train and get off at Gil Puyat Station.
It's important to note that there are times drivers of LRT-1 trains don't announce the station it's heading to. In this regard, I advice you to be alert if you're not familiar with LRT Stations. Just remember, Gil Puyat Station is the seventh station from Carriedo, with Carriedo as the first. Next to Carriedo is Central Terminal, followed respectively by these stations: U.N. Avenue, Pedro Gil, Quirino Avenue, Vito Cruz and then Gil Puyat.
Get off at Gil Puyat Station and follow the direction given in Route #1.

Driving Directions From Ermita To Quiapo Church
Quiapo is a small district in Manila. Every time one says Quiapo, it always assumed he/she is referring to Quiapo Church as most of the people who come here are devotees of the Black Nazarene.
This is the route to take if you're driving from Ermita and you're going to Quiapo Church and you want to park your car along Quezon Boulevard by the church. This only applies every Friday when parking is allowed along area of Quezon Boulevard just adjacent to Quiapo Church. The best time to go to Quiapo Church on Fridays by car is early morning such as 3 to 6 am when there's no heavy traffic yet.
Depending on your exact location in Ermita, you can take any of these main roads: Roxas Boulevard, Mabini, Maria Orosa Street and Taft Avenue.
Route #1
Drive on Roxas Boulevard toward Luneta or Rizal Park. After crossing T.M. Kalaw, the street that borders Rizal Park to the south, turn right onto Padre Burgos, the street that borders Rizal Park to the north. Stay to the middle of Padre Burgos, cross intersections of Palacio and General Luna, and drive all the way to Lawton where Padre Burgos becomes three main roads. The one to the left is going to Binondo. The one in the middle is going to Carriedo Santa Cruz and the one in the right is going to Quiapo.
You can't pass through the road going to Quiapo because, there's no route going to Quiapo Church which is located to the left of Quezon Boulevard.
Take the one in the middle which is going to Santa Cruz. You will cross Pasig River via Mac Arthur Bridge. Stay to the middle of the road until it turns right onto Carriedo Station of LRT-1. Turn left on Avenida, the road beneath the elevated LRT-1 Station and drive all the way to C.M. Recto Avenue, the main intersection where LRT-2 elevated track passes through over LRT-1.
Turn right onto C.M. Recto Avenue. A big mall, Isetann, is located at the corner of C.M. Recto and Quezon Boulevard Underpass. You will pass through first under the elevated LRT-2 Recto Station before you pass by Isetann Mall, which is to the right of Recto. After passing by Isetann Mall, turn right onto the service road of Quezon Boulevard Underpass. Drive on until you get to the main Quezon Boulevard. Stay to the right of Quezon Boulevard and go straight ahead past the pedestrian overpass. Soon after, you will see Citystate Hotel to the right of Quezon Boulevard. And after that is the Quiapo Church which is next to a BPI bank and a 7-11 convenient store. You can now park your car in any available parking space along Quezon Boulevard just a few steps away from Quiapo Church, assuming that you come on Friday. There's a lot of so called "back up boys" so it wont be hard for you when it's time to leave after the Holy Mass.
I've experienced parking along Quezon Boulevard during ordinary days when I bought some electrical stuffs in Raon. I took the risk of apprehension even if there are road signs of "No Parking" along Quezon Boulevard because a lot of cars were parked too at that time. Even today, everytime I pass by Quezon Boulevard I see a lot of cars parked along Quezon Boulevard although they're far from Quiapo Church. So If you really need to go to Quiapo any time and any day of the week by car, all I can say is park but take the risk.
Route #2
From Mabini, drive towards Luneta or Rizal Park and turn right onto T.M. Kalaw. Next intersection with traffic lights along Kalaw is Maria Orosa Street. Turn left on Maria Orosa. Stay to the right of Orosa Street and take the dedicated lane turning right onto Padre Burgos Street, the next main road. Cross Finance Road and follow directions given in Route #1.
