How To Get To Buildings Along & Near Ayala Avenue From MRT III

As I've said in the first two parts of our topic on how to commute to the buildings located in Ayala Avenue from MRT-3 Ayala Station, the second unloading area in Ayala Avenue is located between V.A. Rufino Street and Paseo de Roxas. V.A. Rufino Street is formerly known as Herrera Street. Its name is derived from the tall glass building called Rufino Pacific Tower situated to the left corner where it intersects with Ayala Avenue. Another landmark building is PBCom Tower which is situated to the right corner of Ayala Avenue and Rufino Street. In the photo from left to right: PBCom Tower, Vicente Madrigal Building and Robinsons Summit.
