Parking Areas & Driving Directions To Quezon Memorial Circle
In this guide, you will learn different driving routes from various locations to one of our national parks situated in Quezon City where the remains of our former President Manuel L Quezon had been put to rest inside a mausoleum of the 66-meter tall monument eponym for the first President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines.
Parking fee for medium vehicle is Php 15 flat rate. Because Quezon Memorial Circle is so massive, measuring up to 80 hectares, it is important that you know where to park your vehicle in relation to your immediate destination inside the complex so that you get there on time. That's why I have done all the work to give you the information on Parking Areas. For example, if you're headed to QMC Restaurants, Mabini Hall or the Basketball Court, you must use the entrance opposite East Ave. Pay the parking fee. park your car and walk a little bit to your destination. Peoples Hall, on the other hand is located near to the next entrance which is opposite Commonwealth Ave. Now these pieces of information are good only if you're in a hurry and you are in an appointment. You see, QMC is not only for recreation. There are some places here which are good for business meeting, especially in QMC Restaurants. So, if it's your first time to get there by car and you have an appointment, these guides will definitely help you. Another thing, if your destination is at Quezon City Hall, this is the best parking because it's hard to park at Quezon City Hall ground. I've had experienced it before and it's really inconvenient for me looking for available parking slot there. In QMC, you just use the Quezon City Hall pedestrian underpass and you're at the City Hall in a breeze.
Now if you're in an excursion with your family or friends, you might prefer to park anywhere allowed, stroll around, enjoy the trip, then back to your vehicle when you get tired and want to go home. Right?
Well, there's a way you can get the most out of your QMC trip without exhausting yourselves and getting droopy quickly. You see, QMC has a lot of attractions to offer and you can move your vehicle from one spot to another so that you don't need to walk far to your next area of interest.
Let's say your family is enjoying it now at Circle of Joy with your car parked near its entrance and there are lots of kids with you. Although, Pedal & Paddle is just opposite Circle of Joy and Zipline is adjacent, a big ride attraction called Circle of Fun is conveniently located along the one way Path Parking that goes around the strategic locations within QMC. You can move your car to the frontage of Circle of Fun, buy tickets and enjoy all the rides. Later on, move your car again to another slot near to other attractions such as Tropical Garden, Fanomart Organic Market if it's open or the Fountain, QMC Stage and the QMC Shrine itself. The one way vehicular pathway with parking slots on the left side runs through the woodlands of Quezon Memorial Circle and crosses between the Fountain and the Shrine. It passes by the back of QMC Restaurants and Mabini Hall and then passes through Food Stalls and the Picnic Areas where you can park your vehicle side by side with a concrete picnic table. Below are the major spots inside Quezon Memorial Circle, followed by a map with clickable red pins that reveal the attractions when clicked.

Ayala Triangle Gardens Restaurants & Parking Areas
This article is a sequel of our post entitled "How To Get To Ayala Triangle Gardens". In that article as the title implies, people who don't have any idea of its location will learn how to commute and drive from different parts of Metro Manila to one of Makati's premier attractions which is also the site of annual lights & sounds show which happens every holiday season in the Philippines. This second part gives motorists the information on the location of Ayala Triangle parking area and how to get there after dropping off passengers at the drop-off area along Ayala Ave frontage of Ayala Triangle Gardens. Directions to alternative parking area near to Glorietta are also given here. We also have the list of Restaurants at Ayala Triangle Gardens for those who want to know if their favorite dining destination is located there.
The parking area available for those who want to visit Ayala Triangle Gardens is located at the basement of Ayala Triangle Tower One & Exchange Plaza where the Philippine Stock Exchange is currently housed.
If you're taking Ayala Ave from EDSA or Makati Ave, drop off your companions at the drop-off area of Tower One & Exchange Plaza, then as soon as you get back on Ayala Ave, turn right onto Paseo de Roxas, and you will immediately see the entrance of the Parking which is available 24/7 according to my source. We don't have any information as to how much is their rate as of this moment.
Some people might prefer to park in any parking available at Glorietta area for variety of reasons. There are those who want to go shopping or watch a movie after seeing the light & sound show and they don't want to incur double expenses on parking fees. While others want to save on gas and prefer to walk a little bit to and from Ayala Triangle Gardens. If you are among them, here is an alternate parking located at Glorietta area.
The car park conveniently accessible for those coming to Ayala Triangle Gardens but situated at Glorietta and Landmark Makati is located at The Link, the middle rise building located between Makati Shangri-La Hotel and Landmark Makati along Makati Ave.
Here's how to get there. From BGC, take McKinley Rd and cross EDSA to take Ayala Ave. From EDSA's northbound lane, turn left on Ayala Ave. From EDSA's southbound lane, turn right onto Ayala Ave.
Now in Ayala Ave, change lane to the left and take any of these two directions. First direction: Turn left on Courtyard Drive, the road between Glorietta 5 and Rustan's. There's also a road sign that reads "Courtyard Drive" attached to the traffic light post. Immediately, you will see a sign that reads "The Link Carpark" at the next corner of the street paralleled to Ayala Ave. Turn right onto that one way street and drive all the way past one intersection. the road bends to the left and you will immediately see the the signage of the building which reads "The Link". The parking entrance is easy to see as well. Second direction: If traffic along left-turn lane to Courtyard Dr is a bit heavy, you might drive past it and take the next street perpendicular to the left of Ayala Ave which is "Parkway Drive". There's also sign attached to the traffic post that reads "Parkway Drive". Make left and turn right onto the next street where you will immediately see The Link building. Drive towards it and turn right onto the parking entrance.
Walk direction to Ayala Triangle Gardens from The Link Carpark. Use the elevator to get to the ground and walk towards Makati Ave. Walk along Makati Ave towards Ayala Ave. Use the pedestrian underpasses first to get to the other corner of Ayala Ave and Makati Ave and second to get to the right side of Ayala Ave then walk towards Tower One, the tall building at the corner of Ayala Ave and Paseo de Roxas. Once there, you will immediately see Ayala Triangle Gardens.
Note: There are times that you don't need to use underpasses along Makati Ave and Ayala Ave especially during weekend and after seven pm on weekdays, if I am not mistaken. I have tried them already. Here's how. In front of PLDT Building along Makati Avenue which is opposite Shangri-la Hotel, there's this small gap on the island fencing that they open on off-peak hours for pedestrians. Watch for it and use it with care. Vehicular traffic might block the view to that small gate so you might look for it a little longer. Another similar opening on the island fence along Ayala Ave is located between Makati Ave and Paseo de Roxas. There's a handicap pedestrian symbol attached to that gap on the island fence and pedestrians can only use it during off-peak hours unless you are on a handicapped wheelchair. Important: I don't recommend the use of these small gaps on the island fences if you are accompanying children and youngsters for obvious reasons. Pedestrian underpasses in Makati are well-maintained and with upward escalators. For your family's safety, use the underpass. On the other hand, if you are an adult, it is on your own discretion.
Here are the restaurants inside Ayala Triangle Gardens as they stand next to each other from Light & Sound Show towards Makati Ave: Golden Spoon, Banapple, BFast, Bon Chon, Coffeebean, Momo Cafe, Bread Talk, Wee Nam Kee, Kanin Club, Omakase, Amici and Caramia.
Note: The list is based on what I see on my last visit to Ayala Triangle Gardens which is today. Restaurant businesses come and go so the restaurants that you actually see at ATG might differ to the ones on my list as restaurants are also subject to change.

LRT-1 Quirino Station Routes & Destinations
There are so many maritime corporations and seaman-hiring companies as well as POEA accredited recruitment agencies located around LRT-1 Quirino Station. Some of them have their own buildings while others are housed in multi-story buildings. I created this guide for job seekers that don't know how to get to their respective recruiter's address here. Aside from OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) destinations, scores of restaurants, hotels, bars and clubs are also accessible via this train station. By commute, it's much nearer to use Quirino Station if you're headed to Remedios Circle as there are jeepneys you can take to Adriatico St and other paralleled roads from which Malate's nightlife attraction is a stone's throw away. You can also get to Malate Church faster from this station, just take jeepney with "Dakota Harrison Plaza" sign with its loading bay located right below the station.
It's always best to get to where you're headed as fast as you can. Especially if you're from outside of Metro Manila, e.g., Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Quezon Province, etc. After a bus route to Manila, nothing compares to taking a LRT train to get to your destination. In this article, I will guide you to buildings and institutions that can be reached on foot or a short jeepney ride from LRT-1 Quirino Ave Station.
Check if your destination is listed below and then read the rest of this article to guide yourself in getting there. Important: If your destination is listed, please read the whole article until you get to the part in which your destination is given direction. I created this to help you out so please be patient while reading. Use the maps I created for your convenience and to help you even more. There are eight maps in this guide including the zoomed out version where you can see how far a building is from LRT-1 Quirino Station.
Below is the vicinity map where LRT-1 Quirino Station is located. As you can see, it's the intersection of Taft Ave and President Quirino Ave.
The two main thoroughfares intersect each other in letter X form. San Andres St served as strike-through of letter X intersection. So you're looking at a letter X (Taft and Quirino avenues) with a horizontal line (San Andres) through its center.

Araneta Ave-Quezon Ave Underpass Grand Opening
Today, September 28, 2012, Araneta Ave-Quezon Ave underpass aka C3-Quezon Ave Tunnel opens doors to the public. Commuters and motorists celebrate as the approximately 15-month stressful traffic in the intersection of Araneta Ave and Quezon Ave caused by the underpass construction that started June of last year has finally come to an end. It was a long wait and the daily traffic jam have had put patience of drivers and commuters to the test.
The much awaited opening of Php 430 million peso government project which aimed to improve traffic situation in the area was inaugurated by no less than President Benigno Nonoy Aquino III. Prior to opening day, clamors of jeepney drivers and private car owners were seen on prime time news as the project couldn't open yet even if it's already finished as of last week. Well, that's the way it goes folks. We have schedule to follow. What can I say, the tunnel is now passable. And since the underpass is already operational, let's enjoy the ride to our work or school whether by commuting or driving. As for me, I'm now excited to have "Araneta Ave-Quezon Ave Underpass" on my upcoming posts in giving you guys directions and guides in your daily commute and drive.
With the Araneta Ave-Quezon Ave Underpass now completed and it will be known simply as G Araneta Underpass, a motorist headed to Philcoa, Quezon City Memorial Circle or Quezon City Hall can now go and take the whole stretch of Quezon Ave from Welcome Rotunda without the worry of getting stuck in the traffic. For those who drive big trucks and other tall vehicles, vertical clearance of Araneta Underpass is 5.2 meters only. So, check the height of your vehicle before passing through the tunnel to avoid accident. We've seen scores of accident in the roads which involved overhead structures and tall transport trucks with drivers that overlooked height limit.
This photo shows the volume of traffic along Quiapo bound lane of Quezon Ave prior to the opening of the underpass. Look at that! The tail-end of this traffic jam was extended beyond Caltex Station located before the bridge of San Juan River. And it's taken on a Sunday. I took it myself on Sept 23. Went there, strolled the entire EDSA-bound lane of the tunnel and backed via Quiapo-bound lane taking some pictures. C3-Quezon Ave Underpass has four lanes, two on each of the opposite directions.
The completion of Araneta Ave-Quezon Ave Underpass makes the total number of tunnels along Quezon Ave to two. EDSA-Quezon Ave Underpass project has been operational ever since I wasn't born yet. LOL. That's a joke. I was still not a Manilenio when it got opened. So, which intersection is next? Hopefully, they also build a tunnel in Lacson-Espana intersection. I think everybody agrees when I say that's another traffic hotspot. And can you imagine if there's already a "Lacson-Espana Underpass"? The commute and drive time involved in going to school and work? Whoa! That would be amazing. It's gonna be a whole lot of comfort for drivers as driving from UST to Commonwealth Ave via Espana and Quezon Ave would be in a breeze. I just hope it materialize. And I'm gonna be the first one to publish a blog entry with the title - "Lacson Ave-Espana Blvd Underpass Opens Today".

How To Commute To DOST Bicutan
A lot of commuters have been asking through email (not advisable) how to get to DOST or Department of Science & Technology in Bicutan by bus routes, jeepney routes and train routes. So, to serve these people, I headed out to its location and got all commute directions bound to the sprawling government agency. A map is available at the bottom of this post.
DOST NCR Regional Office is situated approximately 240 meters away east of President Osmena Highway (SLEX/Skyway) in Bicutan, Taguig where bus stops, jeepney loading/unloading areas and PNR Bicutan Station are all located. Its opposite landmark is SM City Bicutan which touches the West Service Road of SLEX.
By Bus - From any point of EDSA as well as from Novaliches and Fairvew, ride a bus bound for Alabang or Sucat that must have a secondary sign that reads "Bicutan". Get off the bus at SM Bicutan unloading area. From any point of SLEX northbound lane, just ride a bus with secondary sign that reads "Bicutan".
By Jeepney - The jeepneys that pass by and unload passengers here are those come from MOA, Pasay Rotunda and any point of EDSA between Taft Ave and Magallanes. The sign of jeepneys are any of these: "Alabang", "Sucat" and "Bicutan". Get off the jeep at SM Bicutan unloading zone. From Alabang, FTI and Sucat, board a jeepney with "Pasay Rotunda SM Mall of Asia" sign and alight at Bicutan.
By Train - PNR Bicutan Station is where to get off the Metro Commuter train from south of Metro Manila, e.g., Alabang Station, Sucat Station and Binan Station. If you come from Bicol Region or the provinces of Quezon, Batangas and Laguna on board Bicol Express Train, just alight at Bicutan Station which is next to Sucat Station, the station after Alabang. Now, if you're in an area of Manila, Pasay and Makati that's near to a PNR Station, you can opt for a train ride instead of bus or jeepney. Here are the stations you might use: Tutuban, Blumentritt (transfer from LRT-1 Blumentritt Station), Laong-Laan, Espana, Sta Mesa, Paco, Pandacan, San Andres, Vito Cruz, Buendia (Gil Puyat Ave), Pasay Road (Arnaiz Ave), Magallanes (transfer from MRT-3 Magallanes Station) Nichols and FTI. Get off the train at Bicutan Station.
One thing to remember: Use the interconnected pedestrian footbridges and a pedestrian lane from any point: Bus Unloading, Jeepney Stop and Train Station. Avoid Php 200 pesos penalty or time consuming seminar. From SM City Bicutan jeepney and bus unloading areas and Osmena Highway service road jeepney stops, climb the footbridge stairs and get to the other side of Osmena Highway. From Bicutan Station, climb the footbridge instead of crossing the train track. You can easily see DOST signage from the footbridge, one good reason why you need to use the footbridge even if you're just from train station. Go down at the other end of the footbridge which leads to roadside market place. Use the pedestrian lane past the big roundabout (rotunda) to get to the other side of General Santos Ave. Walk past the overhead DOST signage and follow the direction of the sidewalk as it turns right until you get to Gate-4 of DOST complex. There's a walkway inside that leads to the DOST building. Talk to the security officer at the gate.
