There are a lot of options in getting to my destinations around Metro Manila. One way that i discovered that’s quicker is from C-5 Pasig City to Ayala Avenue in Makati City.
Just go to the C-5 highway in the inner Pasig City. Wait for an Toyota FX with a sign plate “Ayala.” The ride would take you 15 to 30 minutes.
Since i live near the Pasig City Hall, i wait for those FXs in the Bagong Ilog area. The fare is 25.00 pesos (2008 rate).
I used to ride a jeep going to EDSA (10 pesos), then ride a bus heading to Makati (12-15 pesos). In total it would take me 40 minutes to more than hour.

Hi, sa may Pasig City hall din ako nakatira. I will be working now sa makati. Wala ba FX very near sa City hall papunta Makati?
Sorry for the late reply. Parang wala. You have to go to Rotonda to get a ride to Makati.
