How To Commute To Lucky Chinatown Mall
This quick guide will tell you how to get to the posh shopping mall in Binondo-Divisoria area that will change the way you perceive the premier wholesale and retail destination of Metro Manila. Lucky Chinatown is a little Eastwood in my opinion and a bit of crossover between Newport Mall and Eastwood Mall. Are you a mall hopper? Go get down there and see it for yourself. Everything you expect of a classy mall is in there. But above all, bargain centers such as 999 Mall, 168 Malls and CityPlace Square are all connected to the new hub via walkways and footbridges.

Wilson - Greenhills Jeepney Route
This multi-cab turned jeepney that plies the route of McDonald's Wilson - Unimart Greenhills Shopping Center and Vice versa has been a great help for me in going home via Resort World Manila free shuttle service which is exclusive for members of Resort World Manila by virtue of a membership card that you can avail from their concierge at Newport City. You see RWM shuttle vans have fixed schedule of departure from Newport to specific destinations.
I wanted to leave Resort World at past 4 pm. But the available shuttle van scheduled to leave at 4:30 pm was headed to McDonald's Wilson, an area I've been passing through on wheels but haven't set my foot into. Still I decided to board the air-conditioned van from Newport City. As soon as I alighted at Wilson I saw the terminal of these multi-cabs with their routes painted on the vehicles' side.
The public transport takes the whole stretch of Wilson all the way to Ortigas Ave where it makes left then turns right onto Club Filipino Ave and offloads passengers inside Greenhills Shopping Center Complex where passengers headed to McDonald's Wilson in turn will board the jeepney.
The unloading area is near to the terminal of another jeepney bound for EDSA MRT-3 Santolan Station in which I boarded the train bound for North. It was a breeze for me. The shuttle left Newport exactly at 4:30 pm and at 5:15 pm I was already in Greenhills.
I recommended this route to other members of Resort World Manila who might need to leave Newport City at 4:30 pm.

Tip: Connecting Flight At NAIA-1 From NAIA-2
Let's say you're from any point of the Philippines and flying out of the country with connecting flight at NAIA-1 and you just landed at NAIA Terminal 2 also known as Centennial Airport. What would you do?
Immediately get to the Airport Shuttle waiting area outside 'International Arrivals', between Bay 14 and Bay 15, an 'AIRPORT SHUTTLE' sign hangs conspicuously. There are benches just below it where passengers can wait for the shuttles. Go to that area and wait for a van with sign that reads "NAIA 1-2-3 Manila Domestic". The driver will load luggage of waiting passengers.
Now, you must ask the driver if he's headed to NAIA-1. The shuttle van that arrives has no specific planned destination. The shuttle that you would be boarding might headed to NAIA-3. So, it's important to "ASK THE DRIVER" if he is indeed taking the passengers directly to Terminal 1. I need to write this because there's a lot of confusions happening in riding airport shuttles at NAIA-2. And I know how crucial the time for a flying passenger is.

How To Commute To Manila Domestic Airport Terminal 4
Manila Domestic Airport also known as Terminal 4 is located along Domestic Road through which NAIA Shuttle buses and vans pass on its way to Terminal 1 and 2 from Terminal 3. The terminal of this shuttle service for both departing and arriving passengers of our premier airport is located at Pasay Rotunda, adjacent to MRT-3 and a pedestrian bridge away from LRT-1. Please read the complete information and detailed guide on how you can get to any of the three terminals from your location via NAIA Shuttle bus in our entry entitled NAIA 1-2-3 Shuttle Bus: Easy Way To Get To & From NAIA Terminals.
Important Update: New bus route direct to Terminal-4 from EDSA's northern part, e.g., Caloocan and QC, opens. Read newly published article here -> City Buses Route Direct to NAIA 3&4 from North of Metro Manila
In comments' section of NAIA Shuttle Bus article, some passengers had asked how to get to Terminal 4. I hadn't written about it on that post because when I took NAIA Shuttle Bus prior to my posting of the first article, the bus didn't stop at Manila Domestic Airport to unload passenger.
Today, I've ridden the NAIA Shuttle Bus for the second time from its terminal in Pasay Rotunda to get an accurate direction to Terminal 4. And I found out that you can get to Terminal 4 aka Manila Domestic Terminal from both MRT-3 Taft Station and LRT-1 EDSA Station by riding NAIA Shuttle Bus at its terminal in EDSA-Pasay Rotunda.
From NAIA-3 and MRT-3 & LRT-1 in EDSA-Taft - Ride NAIA Shuttle Bus at its terminal in Pasay Rotunda. Alight at Terminal-3. Ride another bus/van bound for Terminal 2 and 1 at Terminal-3. Once inside the shuttle bus or van bound for NAIA-1 or 2, tell the driver that your destination is "Manila Domestic Airport" while he makes round of collecting the fare which, up to now, is only Php 20.
If there's no passenger that tells him Terminal 4 as destination, the driver won't bother to announce that the shuttle is already passing by the Domestic Airport. And unlike in Terminals 1,2 and 3, there's no shuttle bay on Manila Domestic Airport. You will just alight on the road. So, it's important that you mention your destination and make sure that he remembers.
The shuttle bus will take Andrews Ave all the way until its name becomes Airport Road and then it turns left on Domestic Road. You shall be dropped off at either pedestrian overpass or a pedestrian lane opposite the Domestic Terminal. Go cross the road and head towards departure entrance.
From NAIA Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 - Ride a Shuttle Bus or a van bound for Terminal 3. Alight at Terminal 4. Important: You must inform the driver that your destination is Terminal 4, because he will not stop there if no one tells him to drop them at Terminal 4. You will be late for your flight if that happens. So, make sure to remind the driver and be alert. If you don't know the location of NAIA Shuttles at Terminal 1 & 2, please go to NAIA 1-2-3 Shuttle Bus: Easy Way To Get To & From NAIA Terminals
Reminder: NAIA Shuttles are convenient and economical way to get to all terminals of Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Manila Domestic Airport. But you need to leave home very early. Think about the traffic along Aurora Blvd, the main road from EDSA which the shuttle takes. And then there's the waiting time on your transfer to another shuttle at NAIA-3. You can't be late on Check-In Time. So, have ample allowance.

Take a jeep from Sucat bound for Baclaran via Sucat Road. Ask the driver to drop you off at Domestic Road. Along Domestic Road from corner of NAIA Road, ride a jeepney with "Baclaran" sign. Don't ride a jeepney along NAIA Road even if it's sign is "Baclaran" because there are jeepneys bound for Baclaran that don't take Domestic Road. Ask the driver to drop you off at Manila Domestic Airport.

And unlike in Terminals 1,2 and 3, there's no shuttle bay on Manila Domestic Airport. You will just alight on the road. So, it's important that you mention your destination and make sure that he remembers.
The shuttle bus will take Andrews Ave all the way until its name becomes Airport Road and then it turns left on Domestic Road. You shall be dropped off at either pedestrian overpass or a pedestrian lane opposite the Domestic Terminal. Go cross the road and head towards departure entrance.
Reminder: NAIA Shuttles are convenient and economical way to get to all terminals of Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Manila Domestic Airport. But you need to leave home very early. Think about the traffic along Aurora Blvd, the main road from EDSA which the shuttle takes. And then there's the waiting time on your transfer to another shuttle at NAIA-3. You can't be late on Check-In Time. So, have ample allowance.

How To Commute To Terminal 4 From Sucat, Muntinlupa, Alabang And Nearby Areas
Take a jeep from Sucat bound for Baclaran via Sucat Road. Ask the driver to drop you off at Domestic Road. Along Domestic Road from corner of NAIA Road, ride a jeepney with "Baclaran" sign. Don't ride a jeepney along NAIA Road even if it's sign is "Baclaran" because there are jeepneys bound for Baclaran that don't take Domestic Road. Ask the driver to drop you off at Manila Domestic Airport.

How To Commute To Zuellig Building
A new major office building has arisen in the Central Business District of Makati on the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Makati Ave next to Atrium Building. Surely, a lot of job applicants will be headed to this new office tower. Managers, clerks, newly graduates on OJT (on-the-jobs training), sales agents and building maintenance crews as well as janitorial and engineers are the common employments available once a high-rise building is newly built. To help these individuals, I created this article that guides you on how to go to Zuellig Building - by public jeepney, bus and train. You may want to see the location map which is located at the bottom of this post.
Route #1

Commute wise, this is the nearest train station. Jeepney Terminal is located just across the corner of Gil Puyat Ave formerly Buendia, specifically situated by the edge of SM CyberTwo Building, just outside McDonald's.

How To Commute Fast To SM Mall of Asia Arena Aka SM Arena
For Driving Directions To SM Arena, click here.
The 16,000-seat SM Mall of Asia Arena is located to the southern part of the entire MOA Complex alongside SMX Convention Center. There are two public transport terminals located at MOA, North Terminal which is in front of North Parking Bldg with Hypermart at Ground Level and South Terminal which is in front of South Parking Terminal with SM Department Store at Ground Level. In going to the exact location of SM Arena, you must know that the jeepney you're riding from train station is headed to the right direction - South Terminal which is adjacent to SM MOA Arena.
Obviously, the fastest way to commute to SM MOA Arena from any point of the metropolis is via train of our LRT and MRT Lines.
Warning: Riding train in Metro Manila is not safe for high-end gadget owners. That's the fact. I have experienced it and so did countless of others. A group of criminals who steal phones by playing noisy, happy, and talking to destruct attention of passengers away from their phones are always on the look out for easy prey. So, please make sure that your iphone, samsungs galaxy and other smartphones are secured in your pocket with your hand holding it. Believe me, it's not enough to put your phone on your pocket.

How To Commute To Tam-Awan Village From Baguio City
Tam-Awan Village is good for those who want to experience cultural travel with a bit of adventure on the side. Also known as Garden in the Sky, the model village is where you get to have a glimpse of traditional lives of Cordillera people. A major attraction outside the city proper of Baguio, this destination showcases Ifugao and Kalinga houses with an aim of promoting awareness for Ifugao Tribe's indigenous customs, traditions and their exquisite craftsmanship.
Ifugao and Kalinga houses as well as different native materials and instruments are perched apart from each other on various sides of the mountain. You need to climb stepped uphill trails and weedy paths that snake through dense forest to get to them.
In some areas, trail is precarious to take. Opposite the main entrance is an art gallery called Arko ni Apo. As you climb from the entrance, another gallery called Bugnay is perched on the landing adjacent to a craft and souvenir shop, and then there's the Sketching area where you can have yourself sketched by an artist. A cafe is conveniently located on a flat part of the mountain.
As you penetrate the wild uphill forest guided by common trails, you will be taken to these traditional houses that stationed in strategic locations. You get to see cottage accommodations that looked more like pigeon houses.
Yes, you heard me right. You can have an overnight stay here. It's quite an experience to live the life of our indigenous brothers and sisters, right? Well, here is your chance.
Up in the Viewing Deck, the magnificent sunset over tropical mountains can be seen. Another trail will take you to "Dream Catcher", "Gazebo 2", "Agape" and "Dukligan".
Back to the entrance, you have the option to take first the stepped path going to the "Spirit House", "Wishing Pond", "Kinakin" and "Gazebo 1" or the one which will take you to the "Bugnay Gallery", "Village Gallery", "Craft Shop" which are all connected to the "Cafe" and "Sketching" area. Restrooms are also located here.
Aside from cultural experience, the wild travelers' destination which is also aptly called Garden in the Sky exhibits a broad diversity of flora and fauna. So, if you are into plant and flower photography, you might like it here while enjoying cultural trip.
As of this writing, here's the costs of having an escapade in Tam-Awan Village. By that, I mean - to enjoy your time but make sure you're not doing things that would tarnish the highly revered cultural destination.
Entrance Fees: Children - Php 20. Students - Php 30. Adults - Php 50. You can get in even if you're not going to spend the night. But if you want to stay a little bit longer, here are the rates:
Lodging: 1 Person - Php 500. 2 Persons - Php 1000. Additional Person - Php 300 each. Group of 10 or more - Php 350/pax.
Picnic Fee: Available from 9am to 6pm. Php 200 for a group of 10. Additional pax - Php 20.
Use of a Hut w/o Bedding: Php 500 per day.
Big Events
Function Fee: Php 8,000. Maximum of 40 pax.
Cultural Show: Php 5,000.
Workshop: Php 450 per module per person.
The sign in front of jeepney that you must ride should read: "Baguio Long-Long Tacay Tam-Awan Vice Versa". The terminal of these jeepneys is located at Hilltop St in Market area. Here's the walking direction. To make it more comprehensible this direction starts from Burnham Park. I also created map which you can see below this post.
Walk towards the only interconnected pedestrian bridges of Baguio City which is right beside the tall building of Hotel Veniz. Climb the pedestrian overpass and walk towards Hotel Veniz. You should be seeing the big mall of Abanao Square located to the right of Abanao St which continued Harrison Rd, the street below the pedestrian bridge. Go down the other side of the road and head to Abanao Square.
Abanao Square is exactly located at the corner of Abanao St and Zandueta St. Turn right onto Zandueta St and walk all the way up the other corner which is Kayang St. Turn left onto Kayang St and walk to the right of the road past the small market street. Hilltop Street is the wide road to the right of Kayang Street in which to the other side of it jeepney terminal is located. Turn right onto Hilltop St and walk up to where it bends to the right. There you'll see a jeepney with "Baguio Long-Long Tacay Tam-Awan Vice Versa" wordings on its front and on its both sides. Get aboard the jeepney. See map at the end of this post.
You don't need to ask the driver to drop you off at Tam-Awan Village. You just need to look to the right of the uphill bending road until you see the mammoth concrete fencing on the steep side of the mountain with "TAM-AWAN VILLAGE" wordings engraved on it. Get off the jeep right there. Now I need to remind you that you wouldn't wait for the same jeepney at the opposite lane of that road in going back to the city proper. It will take you forever.
Once back outside Tam-Awan Village, walk back towards the direction of Baguio City Proper. The road bends to the left. Soon you'll reach the point in which a small sloping road runs to the right of this main road. A sari-sari store is situated right at that junction. Wait for a jeepney to arrive from city proper which will make a U-Turn right there to get back to the city. There are other passengers waiting because this is exactly a loading area. Now, go take a look of the map below for bird's eye view of the direction that I have mentioned. Scroll down to see the map.

How To Get To Tam-Awan Village From Baguio City Proper?
The sign in front of jeepney that you must ride should read: "Baguio Long-Long Tacay Tam-Awan Vice Versa". The terminal of these jeepneys is located at Hilltop St in Market area. Here's the walking direction. To make it more comprehensible this direction starts from Burnham Park. I also created map which you can see below this post.

How To Return To Baguio City Proper From Tam-Awan Village
Once back outside Tam-Awan Village, walk back towards the direction of Baguio City Proper. The road bends to the left. Soon you'll reach the point in which a small sloping road runs to the right of this main road. A sari-sari store is situated right at that junction. Wait for a jeepney to arrive from city proper which will make a U-Turn right there to get back to the city. There are other passengers waiting because this is exactly a loading area. Now, go take a look of the map below for bird's eye view of the direction that I have mentioned. Scroll down to see the map.

Strawberry Picking: A What To Do In La Trinidad
Easily become my favorite thing to do in La Trinidad, strawberry picking has gotten more popular among tourists and travelers from low land cities of our country. You will be amazed at the number of people who invade the Strawberry Farm situated in the capital municipality of Benguet during peak season which coincides with Holy Week.
Notwithstanding the cost of "Do-It-Yourself" picking which is higher than just buying fresh strawberries in the same size box taken to the farm, they prowl the farm and patiently select the freshest fruits and pick them up right from its vines.
There's something about picking strawberry in the farm for a Manileno like me. Firstly, you get to experience a noble routine of a farmer which somehow gives you a feeling of fulfillment even for a brief period of time.
As your hand gesture towards the vines after spotting a fresh yummy red heart-shape berry underneath green leaves and alongside a blossoming white flower, you carefully hold the fruit and twist it a little bit then slowly put it onto your box. And then you look again, for that piece of highly nutritious crop to fill up your box. The simple process is therapeutic and stress healing.
As of this day, you can pick your own strawberries right in the farm which is under the management of Benguet State University, for the price of Php 350 per box. Here's the guide on how to pick strawberries in La Trinidad Strawberry Farm. First. As you get to the farm, register your name in the logbook which is in the first stall to the right before you get down the farm. You see there's a market place located right before the farm. Second. Once already in the farm, you choose the best crops and then you approach its farmer saying you're in for strawberry picking. The farmer will give you a box made of bamboo strips. Third. Go for the Easter Egg Hunt! That's a joke! LOL. You proceed and do your strawberry picking along with picture taking of course. After that, you return to the farmer and pay the bill. That's it.
Ride a jeepney with "Buyagan" sign in its front at the terminal located at the foot of Baguio City Hall stairs. From Burnham Park, go toward Rizal Park. Walk uphill from the corner of Shanum St and Fernando Bautista Dr, the road to the right of Rizal Park towards City Hall until you get to the other end of Bautista Dr. Wait for a jeepney with "Buyagan" sign to arrive right at the corner. See location map below this post.
The jeepney will traverse Baguio-La Trinidad-Bontoc Rd and will pass by Chinese Temple, a tourist spot to the right, then La Trinidad Public Market which is to the left and then the Benguet State University. Get off the jeepney at Benguet State University's last gate. BSU is to the right of the road. Enter the road that runs perpendicular to the left of Baguio-La Trinidad-Bontoc Rd. Walk a little bit until you get to the entrance of the Strawberry Farm to your right. Before reaching Benguet State University, there's a Jollibee and McDonald's to the right of Baguio-La Trinidad-Bontoc Rd.
