DETAILED DIRECTIONS GOING TO PHILIPPINE SPORTS STADIUM:

If using Mindanao Smart Connect entrance to NLEX, go straight North and then after Marilao Exit, keep right and be ready to use the right shoulder road to enter Ciudad de Victoria.Traffic flow will be counter clockwise around the Philippine Arena.

FROM PHILIPPINE ARENA BACK TO MANILA:
Exit via NLEX access road then exit Bocaue or Balagtas and make a U-turn going back south to Manila.
HOW TO COMMUTE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF METRO MANILA
First, go to any terminals of jeepney or bus headed to its location. Or along EDSA, go to the loading zone and ride the bus headed to its location.
Second, alight at "Barangay Turo" or you can simply say to driver or bus conductor as "Turo" which is approximately 535 meters from NLEX ramp where the bus or jeepney bearing you and other passengers turn right after stopping at Bocaue Exit on its way to destination in Bulacan. A tall and wide metal arch is erected at the corner of the street perpendicular to the left of the main road you're taking from NLEX which is Gov F Halili Ave. Attached to the arch reads "Welcome Brgy Turo Bocaue Bulacan" and that's where you must alight.
Third, go to the terminal or queue of tricycles that you would see not far. Take a trike and say your destination to the driver - "Philippine Arena"
The trike takes the narrow road perpendicular to the right of Gov Halili Ave which is just a little bit past the Brgy Turo welcome arch. It will take you right to the Philippine Arena. You can view the location map of Philippine Arena at the end of this article.
Terminals & Loading Areas one ride to Philippine Arena Vicinity
As I have already mentioned, after getting off the jeepney or bus from Manila, you still need to take a trike to set foot on the ground of Philippine Arena. So, below are three different spots in Metro Manila where you can take a one ride route to Brgy Turo from which you take a trike to Philippine Arena.
Monumento Jeepney Terminal
There are two terminals of jeepneys bound for Philippine Arena - via McArthur Highway and via NLEX. Forget about 'via McArthur Highway' as it takes long to get there. Take only the jeepney with route 'via NLEX' for fast commute. The terminal of jeepneys that take NLEX is located near LRT-1 Monumento Station. Exact location is Benin St corner Maximo St. The route and sign of jeepneys there is "Monumento - Sta Maria."
How to locate the Terminal
From LRT Monumento Station, walk towards EDSA where Andres Bonifacio Monument is located. Turn right onto street before EDSA which is L Bustamante. Walk past a street perpendicular to the left and then turn left onto the next street perpendicular to the left which is Benin. Walk to the next corner on the left of Benin before EDSA, where the terminal is located.
From Andres Bonifacio Monument aka Bantayog ni Andres Bonifacio and popularly known as Monumento, walk on the right of EDSA. Turn right onto the first corner from Andres Bonifacio Monument which is Benin. The terminal is located at the next corner of Benin St, on the right from EDSA.
From footbridge of EDSA before Bantayog ni Andres Bonifacio (Monumento.) If you're in the northbound lane of EDSA (you have alighted from jeepney or bus from Balintawak part of EDSA), use the footbridge and cross EDSA. Walk toward Andres Bonifacio Monument and turn left onto the road before Andres Bonifacio Monument.
Doroteo Jose Bus Terminal
Located below LRT-1 Doroteo Jose Station, exactly beneath the footbridge that connects LRT-2 Recto Station to LRT-1 Doroteo Jose Station. The route and sign of bus to take here is "Sta Cruz - Bocaue."
How to locate the bus terminal
From LRT-2 Recto Station, follow directional signs to LRT Doroteo Jose Station, use the footbridge. Don't cross to the other side of LRT-1 D Jose Station. Just go down the road once you get to Doroteo Jose train station. You'll immediately see the bus terminal next to the building of LRT Doroteo Jose Station, along Doroteo Jose St and just below the footbridge.
From a Baclaran bound LRT-1 train, go down the D Jose Station. Cross Avenida towards the opposite corner of D Jose and Avenida. Go to the back of LRT D Jose Station via D Jose St and the bus terminal is there.
From a Roosevelt bound train, go down to Doroteo Jose St, and go to the first bus terminal below footbridge of LRT-1 and 2.
EDSA Bus Loading Zones
The most convenient spot to board a bus headed to the location of Philippine Arena along EDSA is at Farmers Plaza in Cubao. The bus has a lot of vacant seats there. During peak hours, it helps if you take the bus at this area. Other loading zones are located past Aurora Blvd, Trinoma, SM North EDSA, Roosevelt-Munoz and Balintawak. The sign of the bus to take is any of these: "Garden Bocaue Exit Sta Maria", "Sta Clara Bocaue Exit" and "Sta Maria Bocaue Exit."
How to find the bus at Farmers
Just go out of Farmers Plaza and wait along the sidewalk in front of Farmers Plaza which is shaded by Farmers Plaza building itself. The bus passes through the lane nearer to the sidewalk.

ReplyDeleteFootball hate is quite common
ReplyDeleteEspecially here in philippines
Pinoy basketball purists, common folk, mainstream media keep hating
In India Pakistan and Sri Lanka cricket purists keep hating
Don't know which parts of the planet people keep hating football except these four
Small and impoverished nations keep embracing football like Cambodia Nepal and many others, even though they can't excel internationally
Even reclusive states like North Korea embrace football
How many times do we have to hammer these knuckleheads' brains to make them stop hating?
there are different kinds of Purist.
Delete1. Investor: the long time investor turn sport Purist to protect the interest of his investment.
2. Ultra Purist..para sa kanila yung paborito ni lang sport ang dapat mag exist.
3. Idiotic Purist: Most of them belongs to the poverty level or sa madaling salita mga informal settlers keep hating and throwing cheap shots sa mga sport na hindi nila naiintindihan. Sila yung mga madaling na brainwash ng mainstream media na pinapatakbo ng mga Oligarchs
At least now that grassroots programs of football, rugby and other sports not Always published in media (because it's not basketball) teaching them how to play the game
DeleteTheir target audience are mostly kids from rural areas so the youngsters will know that there are sports besides basketball boxing and volleyball
Oligarchs fear of basketball decline? Maybe not all. As far as i know only SMC fears that 'doomsday' thing. They don't expand their interests beyond basketball
MVP group, besides the hoops, has football and volleyball in their wings, sponsors boxing
SM group is supportive of their various college sports programs (evident in NU since their takeover last 2008), took fruit last 2014, they sponsor our only olympic athlete for figure ice skating, and sponsors azkals and other athletes
Aboitiz group always sponsors regional football tournaments in visayas and mindanao
Even ABS is under mounting pressure from fans And multi-sports enthusiasts to stop "live replay" telecast of azkals and instead make it live
i agree next generation and future generation of filipino kids that are expose in multi-sports will replace the present generation of basketball Purists.
Deletekahit limited ang budget ng PFF and Azkals management, less tv exposure and bagsak sa ratings ang UFL sa Imperial Manila/NCR.
football will still flourish kita naman ang ebidensiya maraming international Football Clubs ang nagbubukas ng kanilang training academy like Real Madrid, FCB scola ,Atletico Madrid and Chelsea na may infrastructure sa Makati Circuit.
sponsors from Pru Like UK and British Embassy, J-league in partnership with SM group, Manila Jockey Club na nag offer ng kanilang infrastructure sa Cavite bilang training Venue ng Azkals.
in the future yung next generation na multisport enthusiasts sila na ang mag dictate kung anu ang magiging top sports sa Pilipinas.
sa football aside from Fifa maraming organization ang nagsusulong ng sport and hindi mabilang ang dami ng competition and events.
samantalang sa basketball they have only fiba and NBA ang nag penetrate sa Global Market...
both NBA and PBA wala silang mga sport club academy nagka base sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo.
How to get there from Consolacion, Cebu sir?
