The reason for this is because UV Express Terminal in SM Aura aka SM City Taguig is located at the basement parking few meters from mall entrance.

Driving Directions To Newport City

Newport City is home to a luxury casino resort called Resort World Manila, two world class hotels by the name of Maxims and Marriott, a popular night club and one of the most popular entertainment destinations in Manila called Republiq, a mall of prestigious international brands which is Newport Mall, state of the art theater of Newport Ultra Cinema, a cyberpark and countless residential villas. It is located at the corner of Sales Road and Andrews Avenue through which visitors from far distant locations pass before taking the main road to the commercial hub. It is accessible via Skyway through NAIA-3 Exit and a short drive away from Fort Bonifacio Global City. Here are directional guides on how to go to Newport City from different locations in Metro Manila and nearby provinces. See map below this post.

How To Get To Newport City By Car

Route #1

From Caloocan, Monumento, Malabon, Navotas, Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac and other Northern Luzon provinces.

Option 1: Via EDSA - This is the route to take from EDSA's southbound lane. From the provinces mentioned, take the NLEX. From NLEX take EDSA's south bound lane or the lane going to Makati, Cubao, Roxas Boulevard and Baclaran. In NLEX, pass under the EDSA Balintawak/Cloverleaf Bridge, change lane to the right and as soon as you drove past EDSA bridge, turn right onto the dedicated lane going to EDSA's south bound lane. From Caloocan, Malabon, and Navotas, take EDSA. Stay on EDSA and drive all the way to Makati where you will turn left onto SLEX aka President Osmena Highway via Magallanes Interchange. Stay to the middle of EDSA and pass through EDSA-Quezon flyover, EDSA-Kamuning flyover, Cubao Underpass, EDSA-Santolan flyover, EDSA-Ortigas flyover, EDSA-Shaw Underpass, Guadalupe Bridge and EDSA-Ayala Tunnel. After Ayala Tunnel is EDSA-Magallanes Interchange.

Choose the lane with "Alabang SLEX" road sign. It's the flyover to the right of Magallanes Bridge. In the flyover, choose the lane with "Alabang SLEX" road sign above it which is to your left. So, as soon as you get onto the flyover stay to the left because a lane going to Manila with road sign that reads "Manila" will occur at flyover. And you must avoid getting onto that lane. Now in Osmena Highway, avoid getting onto the Entry ramp of skyway. But stay to the rightmost lane of Osmena Highway. Approximately 2 kilometers past Magallanes Interchange, and before the Skyway Crossover Interchange (shown in second photo), turn right onto the service road going to Sales Road, the main road that runs through beneath Skyway NAIA-3 Exit ramp. Drive into Sales Road past "The Air Force Course" gate. Once you get to Sales Road, drive further underneath Skyway ramp until the road turn right and road name changes to Andrews Avenue. Before Sales Road turns right, Newport Boulevard appears to the right. As of this writing, Newport Boulevard is one way towards Sales. But they might change it into two way so I suggest to observe as you get near it and use this road. Otherwise, keep driving straight on Andrews Avenue and then turn right onto Resort Drive, the main road of Newport City from Andrews Avenue.

Option 2: Via C5 - From Northern Luzon provinces mentioned above, exit NLEX via Mindanao Avenue Exit. Take Mindanao Avenue - NLEX Road and eventually Mindanao Avenue. Pass through Quirino Tunnel. Note: These are all in one main road from NLEX. Drive all the way past Tandang Sora and cross Congressional Avenue, a wide main road (with traffic lights). From EDSA Caloocan or Monumento, take Quirino Avenue towards Novaliches but turn right onto Tandang Sora, then turn right again onto Mindanao Avenue and cross Congressional Avenue. Immediately make a U-Turn to get back towards Congressional Avenue. Turn right onto Congressional. (Note: This direction is by virtue of the fact that as of this writing, there are no left turns in Mindanao and Congressional intersection.) Now in Congressional, cross Visayas Avenue, another wide road intersecting Congressional Avenue (with traffic lights). Your next turn is Tandang Sora Avenue. Remember: Tandang Sora Avenue is approximately 625 meters from Visayas Avenue. A lot of motorists turn right onto Tandang Sora. There are many road signs pointing to Tandang Sora which is a little bit narrow and runs diagonal from Congressional. Now, turn right onto Tandang Sora Avenue. Next main intersection to cross is Commonwealth Avenue, the so called "killer highway" because of its being the widest road in the Philippines. It is easy to notice you're approaching Commonwealth Avenue because there's a flyover above it. Traffic in this intersection is moderate to heavy. Go cross Commonwealth Avenue. Now, after crossing Commonwealth Avenue, Tandang Sora Avenue bends to the left as it merges a little bit with Commonwealth Avenue and then separate again in a diagonal way. Just follow the road direction. Traffic here is sometimes heavy because of public jeepneys that stand right at the corner, but after that it's gonna be smooth sailing. Tandang Sora Avenue becomes Katipunan Avenue in area where you will conspicuously see Manila Water Head Office signage that stands in the center island of now widened road. This area is popularly known as MWSS and you get to see another sign of Maynilad. Now, stay to the middle and watch for road signs above and take the lane below Eastwood City sign. You get to pass through Katipunan Aurora Boulevard Flyover, Libis Boni Serrano Katipunan Tunnel and Boni Serrano Libis Flyover, and then Eastwood City skyline becomes very visible from the distance. Drive past Eastwood City all the way to Fort Bonifacio Global City Taguig. Follow direction given in Route #6, starting there in part where you will be crossing Pasig River.

Route #2

From Alabang, Muntinlupa, Festival Mall, Filinvest City, Metropolis Starmall, provinces of Batangas, Laguna, Quezon and other areas nearby.

Take the skyway and drive all the way past Bicutan exit. Next to Bicutan Exit is NAIA-3 Exit. From the distance while traversing skyway, after Bicutan Exit, you will see another flyover crossing above the skyway. It's the NAIA-3 Exit running from your lane. Change lane to the right and take the lane going to NAIA-3 Exit. Stay to the middle and drive on the smooth winding descent of the skyway. The road will turn right and as soon as it turn right, road name changed to Andrews Avenue. Turn right onto Resort Drive, the main road of Newport City from Andrews Avenue.

Route #3

From Robinson's Place Manila in Ermita, Hyatt Hotel, Eurotel, Mabini Street and M.H. Del Pilar Street Ermita and places nearby.

Drive on General Malvar all the way and cross Taft, the main road where LRT-1 track passes through. After crossing Taft Avenue, you will cross Leon Guinto Street, then Felipe Agoncillo Street. Next to Agoncillo is San Marcelino Street. Turn right onto San Marcelino. San Marcelino is one way so stay to the middle and cross Nakpil and Remedios streets. After crossing Remedios Street change lane to the left and turn left on Quirino Avenue. From Quirino Avenue, turn right onto President Osmena Highway and drive all the way to Makati. You will cross San Andres Street, P. Ocampo Street and then Zobel Roxas Street. Next to Zobel Roxas is Gil Puyat Flyover. Pass through Gil Puyat Flyover. Upon descent of the flyover, change lane to the rightmost if you're taking the Skyway.

Option 1. After your descent of Gil Puyat Flyover, carefully change lane to the rightmost of Osmena Highway to pass through the ramp of the Skyway which is a little bit closer to Gil Puyat Flyover. Take the Skyway all the way past Magallanes Interchange after which, you must change lane to the right and watch for "NAIA-3 Exit". Take "NAIA-3" exit and drive on the smooth descent of the skyway ramp. The road will turn right and as soon as it turn right, road name changed to Andrews Avenue. Turn right onto Resort Drive, the main road of Newport City from Andrews Avenue.

Option 2. Drive past Skyway Entry Ramp and pass through Magallanes Interchange. Approximately 2 kilometers past Magallanes Interchange, and before the Skyway Crossover Interchange (shown in picture here), turn right onto the service road going to Sales Road, the main road that runs through beneath Skyway NAIA-3 Exit ramp.
