This is the second part of our topic on how to commute to the buildings located along Gil Puyat Avenue from EDSA where MRT Buendia Station is located to Chino Roces Avenue. Gil Puyat Avenue is formerly known as Buendia Avenue and Chino Roces Avenue is formerly known as Pasong Tamo. In this article, the buildings to the left side of Gil Puyat are our subjects. The buildings to the right are given directions in the first part of this topic, you can get direction to the location of those buildings in the first article, go to How To Get To The Buildings Along Gil Puyat From MRT Buendia.
Check if your building destination is listed below then patiently read this direction guide to locate the building and get the commuting direction from MRT Buendia Staion.
For complete guide please refer to the building maps at the bottom of this article. Some buildings have photos which you can also view below this post.
How to get to a building along the left side of Gil Puyat Avenue from MRT Buendia Station?
From the MRT turnstile (exit machine), go left and then go right to take the footbridge and stairs that goes to Gil Puyat Avenue. Walk across Gil Puyat Avenue under Gil Puyat-EDSA flyover.
There's a terminal of jeepney with "Bel-Air Washington Buendia MRT" wordings in both sides of the body and "Washington" sign in its front near the entrance of McDonald's branch located at the ground floor of SM CyberTwo, the first office building from EDSA next to Shell Gasoline Station. Ride one of these jeepneys. Pay Minimum.
Get off the jeep at Paseo de Roxas, the first intersection with traffic lights from EDSA if your destination is Medicard Lifestyle Center and Metrobank Plaza. Walk across Gil Puyat to get to the other corner where Medicard Lifestyle Center is located at the left corner of Gil Puyat and Paseo de Roxas. Metrobank Plaza is located at the middle of Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue, the next main intersection (with traffic lights). It's just a little bit walk from Medicard Lifestyle Center. If you are a typical Filipino who doesn't follow traffic law, you can get off the jeep at SM CyberOne, the building to the right opposite Metrobank Plaza, then like the two men in this photo, take the risk of crossing Gil Puyat and tread on the well-landscaped center island.
Next main intersection is Makati Avenue. Buildings near the corner are: DBP or Development Bank of the Philippines, located at the first left corner of Gil Puyat and Makati Avenue. Pacific Star, located at the second left corner of Gil Puyat and Makati Avenue. BPI Buendia Center, next to Pacific Star. Petron Mega Plaza, third building from Pacific Star. The Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints, next to Petron Mega Plaza. Get off the jeep at Makati Avenue and just walk towards those buildings. They're just stone's throw away from where you would alight.
Next to The Church of Christ is a vacant lot and next to it is Salcedo Park Twin Towers, but it's more nearer to the next intersection which is Nicanor Garcia. There's a lot of pedestrians getting off the jeep infront of Ajinomoto Building, the building located to the right of Gil Puyat exactly opposite Salcedo Park Twin Towers, and they just cross the road right there as if it's legal to do it. Can't blame them, the center island don't have any barrier at all and it's quite fast to just walk across in that part of the road. It's your call, but if it's you're first time here, just follow the law and use pedestrian crossing.
Get off the jeep at Nicanor Garcia Street. And follow this guide. Use the pedestrian crossing to get to the left side of Gil Puyat Avenue. Grand Soho Makati is just a few meters from pedestrian crossing. It's next to vacant lot that followed Salcedo Park Twin Towers. Next to Grand Soho is Country Space and as you step the sidewalk of left side of Gil Puyat from corner of Nicanor Garcia, ACT Tower is in the front, facing you.
Next to ACT Tower is a parking lot. GF & Partners is next to the parking area, and a vacant lot followed it.
Next corner is Malugay Street. Get off the jeepney at Malugay Street. Walk across the road to get to the other corner. Road name opposite Malugay Street left of Gil Puyat is different, it is called Tordesillas Street. So Tordesillas is the one to the left of Gil Puyat while Malugay is to the right. Go left as soon as you crossed from Malugay. The World Centre is the tall building next to the parking lot that followed GF Partners. Next to The World Centre is Show Room of One Pacific Place, then Elizabeth Place and at the corner of Gil Puyat Avenue and Tordesillas Street is an under construction building.
Located at the second left corner of Tordesillas and Gil Puyat is Le Metropole, followed by Mondragon House. Third building from the second corner of Tordesillas and Gil Puyat is Le Triomphe and next to it is Telecom Plaza also known as Eastern Telecom Plaza. The building to the right of Gil Puyat Avenue opposite Telecom Plaza is PAG-IBIG Fund. The barriers or metal fence in front of these two building have openings, and I noticed lots of pedestrians crossing this part of Gil Puyat Avenue from one side to another. Next to Eastern Telecom is Plantersbank, followed by Trident. Under construction One Central is next to Trident. Located at the first left corner of Ayala Avenue and Gil Puyat Avenue is RCBC Plaza. By law, you are requred to get off the jeep near Ayala Avenue, if you're going to Plantersbank, Trident, One Central. But if you're like those people who keep on crossing streets in wrong places, then you can get off at PAG-IBIG and cross the road right there. Eastern Telecom is nearer to Malugay than Ayala Avenue.
Located opposite RCBC Plaza, at the second left corner of Ayala Avenue and Gil Puyat Avenue is Aegis People Support. Just get off the jeep near corner Ayala Avenue and walk across the road to get to this building, there's a large sign that read Aegis People Support above the building. You also must get off the jeep at Ayala Avenue if you're going to the Mercury Drug and Tropical Hut branches located next to Aegis People Support, respectively.
Last intersection along Gil Puyat Avenue is Chino Roces Avenue formerly known as Pasong Tamo. The buildings you can walk to from the corner of Chino Roces Avenue and Gil Puyat Avenue are the following: Burgundy Corporate Tower, West of Ayala, STI College, Bank of Commerce, McDonald's Gil Puyat Roces and Export Bank Plaza. These buildings lined up after Tropical Hut in that order. But an under construction building owned by Greenfield Development Corporation comes first before Burgundy Corporate Tower. Walk across Gil Puyat Avenue to get to the other corner of Chino Roces. Go left to proceed to Burgundy and West of Ayala. They are tall buildings with building names on their facades. McDonald's is just across the corner. Bank of Commerce is next to West of Ayala and Export Bank Plaza is the skyscrpaer located at the second left corner of Gil Puyat Avenue and Chino Roces Avenue.

How To Get To The Buildings Along Gil Puyat From MRT Buendia
If you're from LRT Gil Puyat, please go to How To Get To The Buildings Along Buendia From LRT Gil Puyat Station. In this article, I will guide you to the buildings located along Gil Puyat Avenue (formerly known as Buendia) from EDSA where MRT-3 Buendia Station is located up to Chino Roces Avenue (formerly known as Pasong Tamo). This post helps you not only to locate a building along the stretch of Gil Puyat Avenue but also tells you where to get off the jeepney. You need to remember that Gil Puyat Avenue, like Ayala Avenue, has these metal fences and barriers along the whole stretch of the road from EDSA to Mayapis Street. Of course, these barriers stop in intersections and gasoline stations. In creating this directional guide, I put these metal fences into the whole route so that you get the right spot in which you must get off the jeepney to quickly arrive to your building destination.
Also, all buildings and institutions in this article are located to the right of Gil Puyat Avenue, that is if you're coming from MRT Buendia Station in EDSA. That means you just need to walk a little bit from drop off point to your destination located in the same side of Gil Puyat as where you get off the jeep. The commuting direction to the buildings located to the left of Gil Puyat Avenue from EDSA is explained in second part of this topic, go to How To Get To The Buildings Along Gil Puyat From MRT Buendia 2. We do this in parts for quick reference.
Please check if your building destination is listed below, then patiently read the rest of this direction to know where to get off the jeep from MRT, or if you can just walk your way to the building, if it's near to EDSA.
How to get to a building along the right side of Gil Puyat Avenue from MRT Buendia Station?
From the MRT turnstile (exit machine), go left and then go right to take the footbridge and stairs that goes to Gil Puyat Avenue. From the footbridge which is extended from MRT station, just before you go down the stairs, SM CyberTwo Building is visible. This photo is taken from the footbridge right at the top of the stairs. Get to the ground, walk across Gil Puyat Avenue under the flyover to get to SM CyberTwo.
Once in SM CyberTwo, you get to see the terminal of jeepneys with "Bel-Air Washington Buendia MRT" wordings in both sides of the body and "Washington" sign in its front. The terminal is located near the entrance of McDonal's which is located at the ground floor of SM CyberTwo. Ride one of these jeepneys, pay minimum fare.
Since there are metal fences along the sidewalk of Gil Puyat, you can't alight infront of a building located before the next main intersection of Paseo de Roxas. So, the following buildings can be accessed just by walking from CyberTwo Building:
Next building to SM CyberTwo is PDAF Building. It's followed by Urban Building. Fouth Building from CyberTwo is Midland Buendia, followed by ENZO Building, and next to it is Buendia Car Exchange. Next to Buendia Car Exchange is Accelerando Building, followed by Goodwill Building. The ninth building from SM CyberTwo including Buendia Car Exchange is ALCO Building where Chevrolet Philippines is located in the fifth floor. Tara Building is next to ALCO Building. The last three buildings before Paseo de Roxas intersection can be quickly reached by riding the "Washington" jeepney because they are nearer to the corner of Paseo de Roxas. These buildings are: 387 Used Auto Center, a used car sales company, which is next to Tara Building; Department of Trade & Industry - Board of Investments, next to Auto Center; and Saville Building, exactly located at the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Gil Puyat Avenue. See location map of these buildings below, click HERE.
After Paseo de Roxas, the next main intersection is Makati Avenue. There are only six buildings located between Paseo de Roxas and Makati Avenue. Get off the jeepney at Paseo de Roxas if your destination is one of these three buildings: EBC Building - BDO Paseo-Gil Puyat, the first building from the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Gil Puyat Avenue. Goodland Building - Herbalife / ICSEC-KAPLAN, next to EBC Building. And DTI International Building, third building from Paseo de Roxas. Get off the jeepney at Makati Avenue if your building destination is one of these buildings: SM CyberOne Building, fourth building from Paseo de Roxas.

Like other DTI buildings that precede this building, there's a big signage of DTI in this building. Second building is SSS Makati - ECC Building, there's also a big signage that read SSS outside the building. You can get off the jeepney right in front of DTI Building or when the jeepney stops at Petron, then walk right to DTI, SSS and the buildings that follow.

The eight building and of course the remaining four is near to Nicanor Garcia Street, the next intersection. So I recommend to get off the jeepney at the corner of Nicanor Reyes Street if your destination is one of these buildings. The eight building is Union Ajinomoto Building with BDO branch at the ground floor. It is followed by Metro House, the ninth building. Next to to it is another abandoned building formerly occupied by Home Guaranty Corporation. ITC Building is the eleventh building from Makati Avenue to Nicanor Reyes.

How To Commute To Ynares Sports Arena
For Ynares Center Antipolo direction,
go to How To Get To Ynares Center In Antipolo
The 3,000 capacity Ynares Sports Arena is situated in Shaw Boulevard, Pasig City approximately 1 kilometer and 250 meters away from EDSA corner Shaw Boulevard where MRT-3 Shaw Station is located. Heading off to this sports center from both north (Alabang, Sucat, Baclaran, FTI, Bicutan, NAIA) and south (Monumento, Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela, Cubao, Fariview, Novaliches) of Metro Manila is relatively easy.
By bus, you need to ride one with "Crossing Ibabaw" sign in its front, e.g. "Monumento Crossing Ibabaw", "Baclaran Crossing Ibabaw", "Alabang Crossing Ibabaw" and "Fairview Crossing Ibabaw", and alight at Shaw Boulevard also known as Crossing. By train, from any station of MRT-3, alignt at Shaw Station.
From EDSA, you need to ride a jeepney with "Pasig Palengke" sign. I'm gonna give you guide and direction in such a way that you don't need to ask for driver's assistance. First, go to PARKLEA Jeppney Terminal located along Shaw Boulevard opposite Starmall.
How to get to the jeepney terminal from MRT Shaw Station?
If you're riding a train from Taft Avenue Station, go to escalator near to the rear of the train. If you're riding a train from North Avenue Station, go to escalator near to the front of the train. Go up the second level of the station. From the turnstile (exit machine), go right and enter a glass door, then go right again and use the stairs to get to the lower level of the station again. From the foot of the stairs, go to your left to exit the station towards the jeepney terminal. Once in the ground, walk along Shaw Boulevard away from the corner of EDSA until you get to the jeepney terminal next to Andok's Lechon.
How to get to jeepney terminal from the bus unloading areas?
If you're riding a bus from Monumento, Fairview, Cubao or Novaliches, and you get off the bus before the bus crosses Shaw Boulevard, walk across Shaw Boulevard, then walk along Shaw Boulevard from corner of EDSA until you get to the jeepney terminal next to Andok's. After the bus crossed Shaw, walk along Shaw Boulevard from the corner of EDSA to get to the jeepney terminal.
If you're riding a bus from Baclaran, Alabang or Sucat, and you gets off the bus before the bus crosses Shaw Boulevard, cross EDSA and walk further along Shaw Boulevard until you see the jeepney terminal next to Andok's Lechon. If the bus has already crossed Shaw Boulevard before you got off, walk across Shaw to get back to the other corner, then cross EDSA, and walk further along Shaw Boulevard to get the jeepney terminal next to Andok's.
Ride a jeepney with "Pasig Palengke" sign.
In the terminal entrance, jeepneys of different destinations are parked in a row. The jeepneys with "Pasig Palengke" sign occupy the last two slots. Ride one of these jeepneys. Pay minimum fare.
Now, here's the simple guide along the jeepney route up to Ynares Sports Arena.

How To Commute To Makati Coliseum
In this article, I'll show you how to get to the Makati Coliseum in a very simple way. First off, Makati Coliseum is accessible from both MRT-3 and LRT-1 lines. The nearest MRT Station, commute wise, is Magallanes Station, while the nearest LRT is Gil Puyat Station. You can also get off the train at Vito Cruz Station and ride a jeepney at a terminal which is way too far, then ride a tricylce, but for first timer, it's not easy so Gil Puyat Station is more convenient. The roads and landmarks are familiar. But if you're from the vicinity of La Salle Taft, then follow direction at Route #11 below.
A jeepney ride from the train stations is needed to get to the vicinity of the coliseum and the sign of the jeepney you must take from both Magallanes and Gil Puyat stations is "PRC". Makati Coliseum is situated approximately 430 meters from the jeepney drop off point at the corner of Chino Roces Avenue (formerly Pasong Tamo) and Mascardo Street. There's a terminal of motorized tricycle at the corner of Mascardo and Chino Roces Avenue. You can walk your way to Makati Coliseum which is located to the left of Maskardo Street or ride one of these tricycles.
Now, here's how you head off to the sport center from MRT-3 and LRT-1:
How to get to Makati Coliseum from MRT Magallanes Station?
Direction #1 - From MRT Magallanes Station, go to Chino Roces Avenue formerly known as Pasong Tamo. It's the main thoroughfare that intersects EDSA underneath EDSA-Magallanes flyover where lots of passenger jeepneys pass through, and its a short walk away from the train station. If you're riding a train from Taft Station, enter Alphaland Southgate Mall which is connected to MRT, go down to the ground floor and exit the mall to the west side that leads to Chino Roces Avenue.
Along Chino Roces Avenue, you get to see jeepneys of either "Ayala" or "PRC" signs in their front. Ride a jeepney with "PRC" sign. Pay minimum. PRC here means Philippine Racing Club which is situated near the northern end of Chino Roces, specifically A.P. Reyes Avenue, 1207 Makati City. It is also known as Santa Ana Park.
The jeepney will traverse the north bound lane of Chino Roces. The first main intersection the jeepney will cross is Arnaiz Avenue formerly Pasay Road where Walter Mart is located to the first left corner. Mascardo Street is approximately 3.2 km from EDSA. Next intersection with traffic lights is Herrera Street now known as Rufino Street, followed by Dela Rosa Street, then the wide intersection of Gil Puyat Avenue formerly known as Buendia. There's a McDonald's branch to the right first corner of Gil Puyat and Chino Roces, and opposite it to the left first corner is an skyscraper called Export Bank Plaza.
After crossing Gil Puyat Avenue, there are two other intersections with traffic lights that the jeep will pass through - Kamagong Street and Pablo Ocampo Sr Ext., respectively. There's a big Rustan's Shopwise branch to the right second corner of Pablo Ocampo and Chino Roces. At this point Mascardo Street is approximately 200 meters away. A large road sign with "Mascardo St" words written on it hangs conspicuously from a post at the corner. It's noticeable from the distance. You get to see it from afar. Davila Street comes first before Mascardo. Get off the jeep at Mascardo Street, walk across the road to get to the other side of Chino Roces and then decide if you walk or take one of the tricycles at the corner.
If you decide to walk, all you need to remember is you will cross three streets before you get to see Makati Coliseum to the left of Mascardo Street. First street is Metropolitan Avenue, followed by Pasong Tirad, then Primo de Riveria Street. That's it, you're looking now at Makati Coliseum, next to the building with "WTJ Sports & Amusement Center" signage to the left second corner of Primo Riveria and Mascardo streets. See map below.
How do you get to Makati Coliseum from LRT Gil Puyat Station?
Direction #2 - From Gil Puyat Station, go to the area of Gil Puyat Avenue where you can conveniently ride a jeepney. Don't wait for a jeepeny at the corner. There are lots of traffic enforcers and jeepneys won't stop there. Walk a little bit far from the corner, then wait for a jeepney with "PRC" sign in its front, flag it down, ride in and pay minimum fare.
No need to ask the driver to drop you off at Mascardo Street. Some of them forget because of the nature of their job. Just follow this simple guide. Normally, the jeepney traverses Gil Puyat Avenue and crosses Osmena Highway underneath Osmena Flyover before turning right onto Washington Street, then left on Dela Rosa Street and then left on Chino Roces once again, its last turn. Remember, your drop off point is at the corner of Chino Roces Avenue and Mascardo Street. See map below. Now, there are times, especially during the days when traffic in Gil Puyat is so heavy, that some of jeepneys take the side road paralleled to Gil Puyat which is called Finlandia. In that case, the jeep goes straight, crosses Osmena Highway underneath Osmena Flyover, takes Dela Rosa Street, then turns left on Chino Roces Avenue from Dela Rosa Street.
After the left turn at Dela Rosa and Chino Roces intersecion, the jeepney will cross Gil Puyat Avenue on its way to PRC. You should see a McDonald's to the right first corner of Gil Puyat and Chino Roces. To the left first corner opposite McDonald's is an skyscraper called Export Bank Plaza.
After crossing Gil Puyat Avenue, there are two other intersections with traffic lights that the jeep will pass through - Kamagong Street and Pablo Ocampo Sr Ext., respectively. There's a big Rustan's Shopwise branch to the right second corner of Pablo Ocampo and Chino Roces. At this point Mascardo Street is approximately 200 meters away. A large road sign with "Mascardo St" words on it hangs conspicuously from a post at the corner. It's noticeable from the distance. You get to see it from afar. Davila Street comes first before Mascardo. Get off the jeep at Mascardo, walk across the road to get to the other side of Chino Roces and then decide if you walk or take one of the tricycles at the corner.
If you decide to walk, all you need to remember is you will cross three streets before you get to see Makati Coliseum to the left of Mascardo. First street is Metropolitan Avenue, followed by Pasong Tirad, then Primo de Riveria Street. That's it, you're looking now at Makati Coliseum, next to the building with "WTJ Sports & Amusement Center" signage to the left second corner of Primo Riveria and Mascardo streets.

LRT Line 2 is the train that runs from Recto Station to Santolan Station. You can transfer to either LRT-1 or MRT-3 to get to the location of Makati Coliseum. Which one takes you faster depends on which one is nearer to your location.

A jeepney ride from the train stations is needed to get to the vicinity of the coliseum and the sign of the jeepney you must take from both Magallanes and Gil Puyat stations is "PRC". Makati Coliseum is situated approximately 430 meters from the jeepney drop off point at the corner of Chino Roces Avenue (formerly Pasong Tamo) and Mascardo Street. There's a terminal of motorized tricycle at the corner of Mascardo and Chino Roces Avenue. You can walk your way to Makati Coliseum which is located to the left of Maskardo Street or ride one of these tricycles.
Now, here's how you head off to the sport center from MRT-3 and LRT-1:
How to get to Makati Coliseum from MRT Magallanes Station?
Direction #1 - From MRT Magallanes Station, go to Chino Roces Avenue formerly known as Pasong Tamo. It's the main thoroughfare that intersects EDSA underneath EDSA-Magallanes flyover where lots of passenger jeepneys pass through, and its a short walk away from the train station. If you're riding a train from Taft Station, enter Alphaland Southgate Mall which is connected to MRT, go down to the ground floor and exit the mall to the west side that leads to Chino Roces Avenue.
Along Chino Roces Avenue, you get to see jeepneys of either "Ayala" or "PRC" signs in their front. Ride a jeepney with "PRC" sign. Pay minimum. PRC here means Philippine Racing Club which is situated near the northern end of Chino Roces, specifically A.P. Reyes Avenue, 1207 Makati City. It is also known as Santa Ana Park.
The jeepney will traverse the north bound lane of Chino Roces. The first main intersection the jeepney will cross is Arnaiz Avenue formerly Pasay Road where Walter Mart is located to the first left corner. Mascardo Street is approximately 3.2 km from EDSA. Next intersection with traffic lights is Herrera Street now known as Rufino Street, followed by Dela Rosa Street, then the wide intersection of Gil Puyat Avenue formerly known as Buendia. There's a McDonald's branch to the right first corner of Gil Puyat and Chino Roces, and opposite it to the left first corner is an skyscraper called Export Bank Plaza.
After crossing Gil Puyat Avenue, there are two other intersections with traffic lights that the jeep will pass through - Kamagong Street and Pablo Ocampo Sr Ext., respectively. There's a big Rustan's Shopwise branch to the right second corner of Pablo Ocampo and Chino Roces. At this point Mascardo Street is approximately 200 meters away. A large road sign with "Mascardo St" words written on it hangs conspicuously from a post at the corner. It's noticeable from the distance. You get to see it from afar. Davila Street comes first before Mascardo. Get off the jeep at Mascardo Street, walk across the road to get to the other side of Chino Roces and then decide if you walk or take one of the tricycles at the corner.
If you decide to walk, all you need to remember is you will cross three streets before you get to see Makati Coliseum to the left of Mascardo Street. First street is Metropolitan Avenue, followed by Pasong Tirad, then Primo de Riveria Street. That's it, you're looking now at Makati Coliseum, next to the building with "WTJ Sports & Amusement Center" signage to the left second corner of Primo Riveria and Mascardo streets. See map below.
How do you get to Makati Coliseum from LRT Gil Puyat Station?
Direction #2 - From Gil Puyat Station, go to the area of Gil Puyat Avenue where you can conveniently ride a jeepney. Don't wait for a jeepeny at the corner. There are lots of traffic enforcers and jeepneys won't stop there. Walk a little bit far from the corner, then wait for a jeepney with "PRC" sign in its front, flag it down, ride in and pay minimum fare.
No need to ask the driver to drop you off at Mascardo Street. Some of them forget because of the nature of their job. Just follow this simple guide. Normally, the jeepney traverses Gil Puyat Avenue and crosses Osmena Highway underneath Osmena Flyover before turning right onto Washington Street, then left on Dela Rosa Street and then left on Chino Roces once again, its last turn. Remember, your drop off point is at the corner of Chino Roces Avenue and Mascardo Street. See map below. Now, there are times, especially during the days when traffic in Gil Puyat is so heavy, that some of jeepneys take the side road paralleled to Gil Puyat which is called Finlandia. In that case, the jeep goes straight, crosses Osmena Highway underneath Osmena Flyover, takes Dela Rosa Street, then turns left on Chino Roces Avenue from Dela Rosa Street.
After the left turn at Dela Rosa and Chino Roces intersecion, the jeepney will cross Gil Puyat Avenue on its way to PRC. You should see a McDonald's to the right first corner of Gil Puyat and Chino Roces. To the left first corner opposite McDonald's is an skyscraper called Export Bank Plaza.
After crossing Gil Puyat Avenue, there are two other intersections with traffic lights that the jeep will pass through - Kamagong Street and Pablo Ocampo Sr Ext., respectively. There's a big Rustan's Shopwise branch to the right second corner of Pablo Ocampo and Chino Roces. At this point Mascardo Street is approximately 200 meters away. A large road sign with "Mascardo St" words on it hangs conspicuously from a post at the corner. It's noticeable from the distance. You get to see it from afar. Davila Street comes first before Mascardo. Get off the jeep at Mascardo, walk across the road to get to the other side of Chino Roces and then decide if you walk or take one of the tricycles at the corner.
If you decide to walk, all you need to remember is you will cross three streets before you get to see Makati Coliseum to the left of Mascardo. First street is Metropolitan Avenue, followed by Pasong Tirad, then Primo de Riveria Street. That's it, you're looking now at Makati Coliseum, next to the building with "WTJ Sports & Amusement Center" signage to the left second corner of Primo Riveria and Mascardo streets.

How To Commute To The Filoil Flying V Arena In San Juan
Formerly known as The Arena in San Juan, The Filoil Flying V Arena is an indoor sporting stadium with 5,000 capacity and is situated along west side of Santolan Road near corner P. Guevara Street in San Juan City, Metro Manila. It is under jurisdiction of Barangay Corazon De Jesus. There are important landmarks located near the arena that make commuting to the coliseum relatively easy.
If you're coming from EDSA, the first important landmark you should watch for to the right of Santolan Road very close to the bowl is the Fountain International School. Once you see the school institution, get off the jeepney. Next to the school is San Juan Police Station. Between the school and police station is the access road that leads to Filoil Flying V Arena. See Map below this article.
If you're coming from Quiapo, Morayta, Legarda, LRT-2 V. Mapa Station, Magsaysay Boulevard, Araneta Avenue and SM City Sta Mesa, watch for P. Guevara Street where Caltex and Seaoil gas stations are located on two corners to your right. There's also road sign that read P Guevarra St attached above the traffic light post at the corner of Santolan Road and P. Guevarra Street. Get off the bus or jeep at P. Guevarra Street.
One important thing, if you're riding a jeep or bus from SM City Sta Mesa or Quiapo, please remember that Santolan Road is the extension of Pinaglabanan Street. That means Pinaglabanan Street changes its name to Santolan Road in P. Guevarra Street. See map below this article.
Below are detailed commuting directions from different places in Metro Manila to the exact location of The FILOIL Flying V Arena. For your convenience, I created a link on each route to the part of this article that details how you can observe places along the ride as you get nearer. In this way, you are assured that you don't exceed to its location without you knowing it, even if it's your first time to head out to San Juan arena. This is important because there are bus conductors and jeepney drivers that forget to tell passengers that they've already arrived to their destination even though the passengers requested to drop them off at the location. In this guide, there's no need for you to depend on the driver and conductor to get to the exact location of this arena. Just follow the clear-cut direction. The links are placed at the end of each route.

How do you notice that you're already in the location of The Filoil Flying V Arena if you're riding a jeep from EDSA?
The jeepney will traverse the whole stretch of Ortigas Avenue from EDSA. A lot of passengers will alight at Greenhills Shopping Center, which is located along Ortigas Avenue approximately 1.2 km from EDSA. There are a few intersections with traffic lights along Ortigas, but don't mind them. You can tell that you're nearing San Juan Arena once the jeep turn left from Ortigas Avenue to a little bit busy street called Santolan Road. It's only once that the jeep turns to another road. Ortigas then left on Santolan, that's it.
In Santolan Road, watch for a street that runs diagonal from road to your right. After that, Santolan Road bends to the right in a slowly curving direction. At this point you're less than 300 meters to the access way of The Filoil Flying V Arena. Watch for Fountain International School big sign to you're right. The school is located at the part of Santolan Road that bends back to the left in a little bit sharp curve. The signage of the school is massive so it's a perfect landmark. Get off the jeep right there. The Filoil Flying V Arena is visible from the access road next to Fountain International School. The access road is between the school and the San Juah Police Precint which located at the corner of Santolan and P. Guevarra Street. See map below.
How do you notice you're already in the location of The Filoil Flying V Arena if you're riding a bus from Quiapo, Nicanor Reyes or Morayta, SM City Sta Mesa, V. Mapa Station, Araneta Avenue and N. Domingo?
Okay, the important thing to remember is you'll be passing by SM City Sta Mesa. The bus turns right onto Araneta Avenue from the frontage of SM City Sta Mesa. Araneta Avenue ends in N. Domingo. The bus turns left on N. Domingo. In N. Domnigo, you will pass by a large Puregold branch to your right. Then the bus turns right onto the main road perpendicular to the right of N. Domingo. This road is Pinaglabanan, the road in which The Filoil Flying V Arena is situated to the left approximately 960 meters from the corner of N. Domingo. It just changes its name to Santolan Road in P. Guevarra Street. There are important institutions you should see before you reach P. Guevarra. A church called Holy Child Parish is to your right, followed by Pinaglabanan Elementary School, to the right as well.
And then there's the monument built to commemorate 1896 Philippine Revouliton called Pinaglabanan Shrine located to the left of Pinaglabanan Street as the road bends to the left. P. Guevarra Strret intersection is up ahead. Watch for Caltex to your right. Once you see it, you're also looking at P. Guevarra intersection, marked by traffic lights with "P. Guevarra" road sign attached to it. You can get off the bus if the traffic light is red. You can also alight at Seaoil Station. I don't recommend heading to Filoil Flying V Arena via P. Guevarra because it's more nearer and convenient via the access road between San Juan Police Station and Fountain International School.
The police headquarters is located to the left of Santolan Road corner P. Guevarra Street. Next to it is the international school. Between them is the entryway to Filoil Flying V Arena which is just a few meters from the sidewalk.
