How to Get to Galleon Museum
Galleon Museum is located just adjacent to IMAX of Mall of Asia. It is in the north western tip of the mammoth shopping center. Specifically, Galleon Museum is at the corner of Seaside Blvd and Sunset Ave, see map at the bottom of this post. So by public transportation, the jeepney you must take in getting there must be headed to the MOA north transport terminal, not the south transport terminal. But if you can't avoid boarding a jeepney or van which is headed to their MOA south public terminal, just get off at the unloading area in the roundabout where the digital globe landmark is situated. Follow the walk direction which is given here.
For fast direction, quick guides on how to get to Galleon Museum from either MRT or LRT are given below. Next to them are detailed directions from particular locations in Metro Manila.
Here are two fastest ways on how to get to Galleon Museum by train:
How to Commute to Galleon Museum via MRT or LRT train
From LRT:
- Take a train from any station and get off the train at Gil Puyat Station.
- Take the tiny jeepney bound for Mall of Asia located along Gil Puyat Ave.
- Get off at Mall of Asia North Transport Terminal.
- Enter Mall of Asia via North Wing walkway which is below the huge pedestrian bridge.
- Walk all the way to Seaside Blvd and turn right there to get to Galleon Museum .
This is the quickest way to get to Galleon Museum from any location served by Line 1 of LRT. Gil Puyat route to Galleon Museum is less congested compare to EDSA.
The terminal of MOA bound small jeepnies is located along westbound of Gil Puyat Ave around 20 meters from LRT Station southbound exit and about 5 meters past McDonald's.
The driver unloads all passengers at designated area before it goes to its queue. Alight here.
Just walk underneath the pedestrian bridge towards MOA building. You will cross Pacific Dr and then you will take the open-air walkway flanked by row of restaurants.
The outdoor walkway ends at Seaside Blvd which is next to Ocean Dr. Turn right on Seaside Blvd, keep walking until you get to the distinctive and humongous dome-shape Galleon Museum.
- Take a train from any station and get off the train at Taft Ave Station.
- Take a city bus with "Mall of Asia" signage or any jeepney bound for MOA .
- Get off at Mall of Asia roundabout unloading zone across metallic globe .
- Walk and follow the path to North Wing to cross Pacific Drive and take the walkway .
- Keep walking, cross Ocean Dr and turn right on Seaside Blvd to get to Galleon Museum .
Take MRT-3 from North Ave or any important spot along the route, i.e., Vertis North, Centris, Araneta Center, Ortigas Center, Ayala Center, etc. If you want a shorter route from MRT-7 (under construction), transfer to MRT-3 at the common station.
A whole bunch of public transport is available from MRT Taft Station, though this route is congested. Buses and jeepneys arrive at loading area by the minute. If loading area is too far for you, a terminal of jeepneys headed to Mall of Asia is located just across the stairs of MRT Station.
The bus or jeepney takes the roundabout and stops right in front of Mall of Asia main building. You must alight here. Except if the vehicle turns right and proceeds to North Terminal and not passes through the roundabout. In that case follow the direction from LRT.
North Wing is on right hand side if you're facing Mall of Asia once you have gotten off the bus or jeepney in the roundabout. You will immediately see the pedestrian bridge, proceed there to take the pedestrian crossing underneath it so that you can take the walkway.
The outdoor walkway ends at Seaside Blvd. But you will cross Ocean Dr first. Turn right on Seaside Blvd, walk further, and few meters away is the distinctive and humongous dome-shape Galleon Museum.

2 Jeepney & Van Terminals Bound to East of Metro Manila near MRT Shaw
2 jeepney & van terminals headed to Antipolo, Cainta, Pasig, etc by the MRT Shaw
1. Along Shaw Blvd just outside Greenfield District:
Just around 15 to 20 meters approx walk from MRT Shaw northbound exit. Take the north exit of MRT which means you should get down to the northbound lane of EDSA. You also must use the concourse located at the south end of the MRT which means if you're from Taft, walk towards the tail of the train and exit there, that's the side of Greenfield District. If you're from North, walk towards the front of the train from which you alighted and take the elevator/stair to exit. Get down to EDSA, walk to the corner of EDSA-Shaw, turn right on Shaw, walk further, cross the perpendicular road there and you're already in the mini Terminal of jeepneys and vans. Wait for jeepneys there and get to the corresponding queue. There are barkers whom you can ask for a particular destination. Tip: This terminal is located opposite Shangri-La which is at the other side of Shaw.
In the table below are some of the destinations of jeepneys and UV Express in this mini terminal. These routes are also served by jeepneys and vans from the main terminal. If your particular destination is not listed, please ask a driver or the barker for that information.
Antipolo Baytown Binangonan Cainta-Parola Floodway Morong Pasig Palengke | Shopwise Tanay Tektite Teresa Tiendesitas Ugong Ynares Antipolo |
2. Main terminal of jeepneys and vans located along Shaw Blvd:
This big terminal of jeepneys and vans headed to Antipolo, Cainta, Pasig and other areas in the eastern part of Metro Manila is located along Shaw Blvd around 20 meters away from MRT Shaw Station southbound exit. You need to exit MRT station via south exit which means you get down to the southbound lane of EDSA. And it is important to exit through the concourse located at the south of the entire MRT Shaw. You must take the stair which goes down directly to Shaw Blvd. Once in the ground, walk straight along Shaw Blvd until you get to the big terminal. This terminal is complete in terms of routes to the east of MM because this terminal is in large complex compare to the one outside Greenfield District which only can accommodate 2 jeepneys and 2 vans, so you have to wait for a particular jeepney headed to a particular destination there, and the queues are lengthy. Once you get to the big terminal, ask a barker or a dispatcher for the location of jeepney or van that you need to ride in going to your destination. Definitely, there's a jeepney headed to Ynares Center Antipolo. Just look for a jeepney with "Antipolo Simbahan" signage. Tip: This big terminal is located opposite Star Mall which is located on the other side of Shaw.
The destinations listed in the table above are also served by jeepneys and vans in this terminal. Below are other destinations included in the routes of jeepneys and vans in this big terminal. So, if your destination are any of the listed below, head down this terminal and board a jeepney or van that either passes by or stops in your destination. Most of the below destinations except Ynares Antipolo are very near. So, be attentive to driver or better yet ask him to drop you off at your destination. For those going to Tektite Towers, or any building located along San Miguel Ave in Ortigas Center such as Jolibee Center, etc, the sign of jeepney to take from here is "Ugong Tektite."
DEPED Meralco Ave Pasig Palengke & Kapitolyo San Miguel Ave San Miguel Ave Ortigas Center | Tektite Tiendesitas Ugong Pasig Ynares Center Antipolo Ynares Sport Complex Pasig |
So whether you're headed to faraway Ynarez Center in Antipolo or the closely located Tektite Towers in Ortigas Center, go to any of the two terminals. In big terminal, look for your jeepney. In Greenfield District, go to the queue, wait for a jeepney bound for your destination and hop in. Soon you'll get there. Meanwhile, if your destination is Ynarez Sports Arena which is situated near that area along Shaw Blvd, just take a jeepney bound for Pasig Palengke. Ask the driver to drop you off at Ynarez Sports Arena. For those who are headed to any buildings located along San Miguel Ave, please go to Commute To Ortigas Center Buildings From MRT Shaw Station. Remember that "Ugong-Tektite" route jeepney turns left onto San Miguel Ave. Use the guide in that post so that you know where to get off the jeepney. Again, if your destination is not listed in the two lists above, please ask any of the following: dispatcher, barker, driver. Hope this guide will help you in getting to your destination.
Below is the map where the two terminals are pointed by two markers.

How to Get to St Michael the Archangel Parish in BGC
Location of St Michael the Archangel Parish BGC
Where is St Michael the Archangel in Bonifacio Global City? The church is located at the corner of 10th Ave and 39th St in Uptown, BGC. It is much nearer to Guadalupe Station of MRT-3 via one quick jeepney ride compare to 2 BGC bus rides from MRT Ayala Station. See map below this post.
How to commute to St Michael the Archangel Parish BGC
Nearest MRT stations:
.
MRT Guadalupe Station - Nearest train station. You only need to take a jeepney with sign that reads "Market-Market", "Gate 3" or "Fort Bonifacio."
MRT Ayala Station - Near to BGC but far from St Michael the Archangel Parish. You need to board 2 BGC buses from MRT to get to the church. First bus is "West Route" and second bus is "North Route."
How to get to St Michael the Archangel Parish BGC from different locations
Route #1
From anywhere inside Bonifacio Global City or BGC
Use any bus stop inside Bonifacio Global City and wait for a BGC bus with "North" sign. If you're in Market Market or SM Aura, take a BGC "Central Route" bus to RCBC bus stop and wait for BGC "North Route" bus. Get off the bus at the last terminal/stop which is located right at the location of St Michael the Archangel Parish Church.
Alternatively and faster if you're in Market Market or SM Aura, take a jeepney to Guadalupe at loading area along McKinley Pkwy which is the road between Market Market and Serendra. In SM Aura, it is the road that bounded the lengthy side of the mall on the east, northeast to be specific.
Route #2
From MRT Guadalupe Station
Exit the MRT Station at northbound exit which is attached to Guadalupe Commercial Center mall. Either enter the mall and exit the mall at the ground floor main entrance beside Chowking or use the train station stairs, walk uphill along EDSA and turn left on the perpendicular street which bounded the Guadalupe Commercial Center. There are jeepneys there. Ride one with any of these signs: "Fort Bonifacio", "Gate 3", and "Market Market." It will pass by St Michael the Archangel the Parish which you will see on your right once the jeepney enters Uptown area of BGC via 10th Ave. To make sure, just ask driver to drop you there.
Route #3
From MRT Ayala Station
Exit the MRT Station at northbound exit and get inside BGC Bus Terminal. Take "West Route" BGC bus and alight at RCBC bus stop aka The Fort bus stop. Wait for the "North Route" BGC bus and get off at the last bus stop where the St Michael the Archangel Church is situated. You must buy ticket first from a crew manning the bus stop.
Route #4
From Gate 3 and Sales Road
One long jeepney ride from Osmena Highway. Go to Gate 3 Plaza which you can see from Sales Bridge. Turn right onto the perpendicular street which also bounded the Gate 3 Plaza bldg. You will walk past the entrance of Gate 3 Plaza and immediately see the terminal of "Gate 3 to Guadalupe" jeepneys on the right, opposite Gate 3 Plaza. Go to the queue to board the next "on-duty" jeepney. Ask driver to drop you off at St Michael the Archangel church.
Route #5
From Monumento and others areas in CAMANAVA (Caloocan, Malabon, Navotas, Valenzuela)
Option 1. By train. Board a Baclaran bound LRT-1 train at nearest station and get off at EDSA Station. Transfer to MRT-3 to either Ayala Station or Guadalupe Station. If you prefer one jeepney ride from MRT to the church then get off the train at Guadalupe Station. If you prefer 2 aircon bus rides to the church, alight at Ayala Station. Ayala Station comes first. Guadalupe is next to Buendia which follows Ayala.
Option 2. By bus. From any point of EDSA, take a bus bound for south of MM, i.e., Alabang, Baclaran, MOA, etc. Get off the bus at either Guadalupe or Ayala. Cross EDSA via pedestrian bridge in Guadalupe and MRT Station in Ayala. Take the next ride/rides - jeepney to the church or 2 BGC aircon buses to the the church. Guadalupe comes first before Ayala in this route. Take bus with "Ayala Ibabaw" secondary sign if you prefer to take BGC buses.
Route #6
From Novaliches, SM Fairview, Fairview Terraces and areas nearby
Option 1 is to take a bus to south of MM mentioned in route #5 and follow given direction there. Option 2 is to take a bus or jeepney to EDSA and take Taft bound train and follow already given direction.
Route #7
From Alabang, Festival Mall, Starmall Alabang, Filinvest City, Sucat and areas nearby
Option 1. Via PNR. From any station of PNR along Osmena Hi-way/SLEX, board a train bound for Tutuban and get off at Nichols Station. Head to Gate 3 Plaza by taking the road that continues Sales Bridge which crosses Osmena Hi-way. Walk away from the bridge and you'll see Gate 3 Plaza on the right. Follow direction given at route #4.
Option 2. By bus or jeepney. Take a bus bound for north of MM, i.e., Monumento, Novaliches, Fairview, alight at Nichols or take a jeepney bound for Pasay Rotunda/MOA (Mall of Asia), alight at Nicholds. Follow direction given above.
You can opt for Option 3 which is getting off the bus (bound for north of MM) at Ayala Ave and take 2 BGC buses to the church. But I don't recommend that for the reason that it is too way far out. But conveniently, it is the way to go like arriving at the church via 3 aircon buses.
Route #8
From Divisoria, Lucky Chinatown and areas nearby
Option 1. Via PNR. Board a PNR train bound for Alabang and get off at Nichols Station. Follow direction given at Option 1 of Route #7.

Option 2. By jeepneys and buses. Take a jeepney bound for Divisoria. Alight at EDSA. Board a bus bound for south of MM, e.g., Alabang, Baclaran, NAIA. Get off the bus at either Guadalupe or Ayala. Follow direction given on either Route #2 or #3.
Route #10
From Pasig, Tiendesitas, Eastwood Mall and areas near these vicinities
From Eastwood, take jeepney to Cubao. From Tiendesitas, take jeepney to EDSA-Ortigas. From Pasig, take jeepney to EDSA-Crossing. Board a MRT-3 train bound for Taft. In Cubao, use Araneta Center Station. In EDSA-Ortigas, use Ortigas Station. In EDSA-Crossing, use Shaw Station. Get off the train at either Guadalupe or Ayala Station. Follow direction given in either Route #2 or Route #3.
Alternatively, you can take a southbound MM bus instead of train. Just make sure that the bus has secondary sign of "Ayala Ibabaw" if you prefer to take 2 BGC buses in getting to St Michael the Archangel Parish church BGC.
If your point of origin is far from any of the places mentioned in all the routes here, you can ask for direction by using the comment box below this post. This is the article of directional guides on how to get to St Michael the Archangel Parish Church BGC from different locations in Metro Manila. That's it. Now see the map below to have an idea on how near and how far the church to Guadalupe and Ayala MRT stations, respectively.
In this map, the shaded area is Bonifacio Global City. Three red icons represent two stations of MRT and the St Michael the Archangel Church. You immediately see here that the church is very near to Guadalupe Station.

Drive Directions to NAIA-1-2-3 Via NAIA Expressway
NAIA Airport Expressway (NAIAX) Entrance/Exit Ramps
Andrews Ave - Located between Newport City and NAIA Terminal 3 along Andrews Ave, these entrance and exit ramps are for motorists going to and from NAIA Terminals 1 & 2, Entertainment City, Cavite and Macapagal Blvd. But you will only need to use the Andrews Ave entrance ramp if you're coming from SLEX, Osmena Highway, BGC, Makati and other nearby areas and not passing through Skyway. Likewise, use the Andrews Ave exit ramp if you're not going to use Skyway in heading to your destination via SLEX or Osmena Highway from Terminal 1&2, Entertainment City, etc. Andrews Ave exit of NAIAX is under the road sign "SLEX Makati BGC". If you're going to use Skyway to and from NAIAX, use the Skyway Connector. You don't need to use NAIAX if your destination is Terminal 3 from either SLEX or Skyway in this route. Just take Andrews Ave and take the roundabout to Terminal 3.
CAVITEX - These entrance and exit ramps of NAIA Expressway are located in the northern end of Manila-Cavite Expressway, most popularly known as CAVITEX. Entrance ramp of NAIAX from CAVITEX is specifically situated along leftmost northbound lane of CAVITEX meters away before the intersection of NAIA Rd. Exit ramp to CAVITEX is specifically starts at the rightmost westbound lane of NAIAX past the fork for "Terminals 1&2" and "Entertainment City" if you're coming from Terminal 3/SLEX/SKYWAY and past the fork for "Terminal 3" and "Entertainment City" if you're coming from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. CAVITEX Exit/Entrance served motorists from: the province of Cavite that include Tagaytay City, Dasmarinas, Amadeo as well as some parts of Batangas near Cavite border.
How to get to a NAIA terminal from NAIA Expressway
Depending on where you enter the NAIA Expressway or which entrance ramp you use except NAIA Rd, heading to your terminal destination is no issue as signs are there to guide you. Nevertheless, below are directions to each terminal of NAIA from all entrance ramps of the airport expressway:
From Macapagal Blvd - Take the NAIAX ramp which is located at the leftmost lane of the southbound Macapagal Blvd. Soon your lane will merge to the one coming from Entertainment City as your lane turns left. Then Cavitex ramp will merge up ahead above Roxas Blvd. Now this is where you must pay attention as the expressway firstly forks to left which is headed to "NAIA Terminal 3" before it forks to right which is headed to "Terminal 1" while the remaining lane goes straight to "Terminal 2". So if your destination is Terminal 3, make sure you're on the leftmost lane of NAIAX to take the fork below road sign "Terminal 3" and if your destination is Terminal 1, make sure you're on the rightmost lane of NAIAX and take the second fork under the road sign "Terminal 1" while if your destination is Terminal 2, take the lane that goes straight below the road sign "Terminal 2" which goes down to NAIA Rd. If you're taking the route to Terminal 3, watch for road sign "Terminal 3" to avoid taking wrong lanes which will take you to any of the following: Skyway, Andrews Ave and SLEX.
From CAVITEX - As Cavitex entrance ramp merges to NAIA expressway above NAIA Rd and Roxas Blvd intersection, you get to take the specific lane headed to a particular NAIA Terminal much faster after entering the NAIAX. Just remember these: For Terminal 3, you must immediately change lane to the leftmost and take the first fork under "Termianl 3" road sign and then watch for next overhead "Terminal 3" road sign. For Terminal 1, take the next fork which is to the right. Finally, for Terminal 2, take the straight lane. There are road signs for both Terminals - left hand side is Terminal 2, right hand side is terminal 1.
From Andrews Ave - You will take this route if you're coming from SLEX without passing through SKYWAY. This is also the route to take from BGC and Makati via Lawton Ave, Chino Roces, Sales Bridge and Sales Rd which becomes Andrews Ave as the road turns right. If your destination is Terminal 3, no need to take NAIAX. Just take Andrews Ave and the roundabout up ahead and follow direction to Terminal 3. If your destination is either Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, take the Andrews Ave entrance ramp of NAIAX and follow direction given for motorists using Skyway (From Skyway.)
Driving Directions to NAIA Terminals 1-2-3 via Airport Skyway aka NAIA Expressway
Route #1
Via Roxas Blvd from Intramuros, Manila Hotel, Rizal Park, Luneta, South & North Harbor (Pier), Delpan, Lucky Chinatown Mall, Divisoria, Ongpin, Tondo, Caloocan and nearby areas. NOTE: This is Option 1 for those coming from CAMANAVA.
Option 1. Turn left onto Vicente Sotto then immediately turn right onto Magdalena Jalandoni. That road will become Macapagal Blvd once you cross Buendia where World Trace Center is located.
