    daily route ko yan.. makati to mandaluyong.. minsan inaabot nang 1.5 hours 4 kms lang.. kaya minsan nagpapagabi na lang ako.. ikot ikot lang sa greenbelt..

    fastest way is to leave early.. wag ka papaabot nang 5pm.. pag EDSA 30 mins lang yan to Greenhills..

    There's an alternate route. Going down Makati Mandaluyong bridge turn left (not right). Go straight along Coronado, then left on Pantaleon, then derecho, passing by the Rockwell bridge intersection. I dont know the other street names, but ultimately you end up on the intersection of Boni and Dansalan Gardens, may hospital din yata sa corner na yun.

    Or coming from Rockwell bridge, turn right on the intersection.

    Streets are narrow, but you can get thru. Check waze.

    The narrow streets of Mandaluyong are pretty narrow. One time may nilikuan ako na side street to avoid the traffic of another side street, I had to fold my side mirrors or else tatamaan ko yung jeep na nakapark sa kanan at yung mga tumatagay sa tabi ng daan sa kaliwa. Times like these I'm thankful that Ford was thoughtful enough to give power-folding side mirrors on such a huge car.

    Anyway, it's not that bad IMO. Longest travel ko pauwi from Makati to Shaw is 1 hr of EDSA traffic. Average is 45 minutes. Pag weekend, same route is 10-15 minutes.

    From BGC to GH add about 15-30 minutes to those numbers.

    I usually take 11th Ave, then turn right at Kalayaan.
    From there, it's an ave. 10kph till you reach the C5/Kalayan intersection.
    Then turn right and take the *($&%)$(*%&$()* elevated U-TURN slot. (BOTTLENECK!)
    Once I clear the *$(&*($%&)($*^&%*()^&) elevated U-TURN slot, it's another bottleneck just until you clear the opposite U-TURN slot. From there, it's smooth driving (USUALLY...) until you get to Toyota Pasig. Before I get to Toyota Pasig, I bail out and take the UTURN slot and head to Lanuza.
    Long story short, it usually takes me 20mins to get from BGC Net One center to that part of Ortigas with ETON Cyberpod.
    Siguro additional 10mins to get from there to GH.
    I usually start my drive at 630pm.

    If you feel brave, you can shave a couple of minutes after you exit the UTURN ramp by taking the right most lane, then going through the service road. Tapos merge back to C5 after you clear the other UTURN slot from the service road.

    Not so new. I thought of venturing outside Makati/Fort but it turned out to be a bad idea. Next time I will stick to my radius.

    May nadaanan na ako na ganyan - Narrow street na double parking pa, one way pa! Pag may siraulo na nag counterflow, reverse lang talaga ang option

    Yung mga taga North pala working in Makati, umaga pa lang, stress na sa traffic.

    Hahahah!
    Well... on average mga 10mins worth lang naman yung (*$&%($ na yon eh.

    The main issue is getting out of BGC and Makati CBD and getting to cross the Pasig river. Whatever route you take, you're pretty much stuck. Your choice na lang on how you get stuck. Be it a slow crawling (edsa), stressful jostling for position (C5) or going through narrow roads.

    Once you get to cross the Pasig river, it's almost always smooth driving (except for edsa, where you'll have to suffer a bit more until you get to the Ortigas flyover).
