hey guys!i was planning to stay at a hotel in makati for 2 nights but i was wondering how far it is from victory liner cubao (or any bus depot going to baguio).how far do i have to travel to get to MOA(cuz i hear that its the largest mall).any info provided would be much appreciated.its my first time travelling alone and im kinda (really) scared abt getting lost!!!!!
First of all, RELAX! There's nothing to be scared of. Victory Liner has stations in Cubao and Pasay City, and since you'll be staying in Makati I suggest that you ride from the Pasay station instead as it is nearer. Incidentally, this station will be along the road (EDSA) to MOA so when you take a cab to the mall ask the driver to point out to you the bus station so you'll already know where and how far it is by the time you leave for Baguio.
If you are familiar with MRT Station, then Victory Liner is approx 500 meter BEFORE reaching Edsa/Taft Station.

From LRT station - travel along Edsa Extension to the direction going to the sea and in approx 2 kilometer (5 minutes, normal traffic) you will hit MOA.
Yes, there is a Victory Liner in Pasay as well.. which is your best bet if you are from Makati area. Cubao is a busy and confusing place too so you are better off in Pasay terminal if you are not familiar with the place.
Depending on traffic it will only take you less than 30mins to go to MOA from Makati. =)
Where exactly in Makati are you staying? There are many ways to go to Moa from Makati.
I suggest you visit MOA on a friday or Saturday night. They have a firework show during these nights at 7:00pm. Head to the bay area (at the back of MOA) around 6:30pm. The place gets so crowded as the fireworks show time nears.
Dine in at the Seaside restaurants as well. Foods there are delicious. You get to buy your foods at the market (in the seaside area) and restaurants will cook them for you just the way you want it. Its good for groups. Pricey if you are only 1 to 3 peeps as you have to pay per kilogram. If you do decide to eat here, try to have your food cooked at the TRINITY restaurant.
thanks guys!!!!!your commemnts are quite helpful.i havent decided where to stay just yet!!!!!!gracias pips!!!!

Lately, it has become a popular hang out place of the South Korean Community since there is a growing korean prescence in the philippines due to it's english language proficiency wherein koreans go and study english here and spend long vacations.

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is A Chic place to Hang Out and is really popular in the Southern California Area but like Seattle's best Coffee then, it's popularity is limited and is mostly located in the southwestern US (California, Nevada, Arizona) but has growing popularity worldwide especially in asia.
This branch in greenbelt 3 is their first branch here and started in 2003. The company was founded by Mona and Herbert Hyman. It is one of the oldest and largest privately held chain of specialty coffee and tea stores. The first store opened in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood in 1963. Coffee Bean stores differ from other coffee chains such as Starbucks with their broad selection of tea drinks. It also popularized The Original Ice Blended drinks and Chai Lattes.
Here in the philippines, it is a popular place to hang out and have free wi-fi especially when the nearby Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee are Jampacked since prices here are slightly lower. Smart Casual.
On September 17, 2007, Manila vters met VT Zender and his wife from Singapore. As guests of Manila vt Orly (arklandtravel), we took them here at Kamayan for them to experience Filipino cuisine. It's their first Manila visit and it feels great to know that they got positive views about the place.
Attendees to this meet were: Aida (asianbelle), Cess (Cess8), Dan (dcmanicad), Edwin (yellowcab), Jane (shyjane), Monina (monina_c), Nova (novamacaresa) and yours truly.
My first meet with: Alex (Zender), Karen (karengkeng) and Orly (arklandtravel). Try the seafoods and while enjoying your food, feel special while being serenaded by the restaurant's musicians.
