How to Reach Makati (If You are Coming from the North)

Ever since I launched this blog site, I have already included the"how to reach Makati" topic in my what-to-blog list. And so here it is, my mini-guide on how you can reach the business district of the Philippines using different kinds of public transportation that is IF and ONLY IF you are coming from the Northern part of Luzon.

But before I start, I just want to reiterate that I will be writing about the how-to-reach-Makati guide if you are coming ONLY from the North and that this guide is based from my own experience since I am originally from Pampanga (before I got married that is). So if you think I missed something or that you want to add a few more helpful tips for all those who are going to Makati for the first time, feel free to share them on the comment section of this entry. And that if you have any question about how to reach Makati if you are coming from the South, I'm afraid that I would not be able to help you on that.

Okay. So back to the main topic, Makati is actually a pretty huge city and for anyone who is planning to come over here, he should make sure that he knows at least the right and complete address of the place that he needs to go to so he can ask around people how to get there. I will be posting several quick guide below since there are many happening places in Makati that people usually go to.

So there! Hopefully I was able to help some of you in my own little way. I am aware that this does not include detailed directions when it comes to navigating the main business hub. However, I have already taken note of that and that I will be writing about that in another post hopefully early next year since I am still not confident enough as of the moment when it comes to exploring the business district.

And just a piece of advice, no matter where you may be going, just make sure that you are vigilant of your belongings to avoid getting taken advantage of by the "not-so-good" creatures around us.


Have a safe trip everyone!
