ReplyDeleteI need help... I'm new here in Manila kasi. How do i get to Rockwell from Greenhills area?
ReplyDelete@ Levin Joy Marollano. Sakay lang po bus na "Baclaran" or "Alabang" ang sign sa harap at baba po sa Guadalupe. Sa kanto po ng EDSA at Ortigas. Pede din sakay ng MRT to Taft at baba Guadalupe. Sa Guadalupe punta kyo sa pagitan ng Jollibee at yun malaki Guadalupe Commercial Center. Abang po kyo ng jeep na ang sign ay "Pedro Gil Paco Taft" o "San Andress Bukid". Sabihin nyo sa driver ibaba po kyo ng Rockwell. Ingat po sa Guadalupe madami mandurukot ng cp lalo na sa pedestrian overpass. Sana po ay makatulong :)
