In Manila, the public utility vehicles (PUVs) headed to the pier area from Paco, Sta. Ana, Pandacan and Pasayare will be asked to take Taft Avenue through the Jones flyover, to make a right turn at Magallanes Drive, then a U-turn in front of the Post Office, then cross Magallanes and cut heading to Anda Circle.

Those vehicles coming from Anda Circle should take Soriano St., head straight to Magallanes Drive, cut through Anda Circle and then straight to Taft Avenue.

Those coming from Quezon City must make a right turn at Riverside Road, then make a left turn at Postal Road, then a right turn and then cross Magallanes drive. After that, cut towards Anda Circle and then head towards Taft Avenue.

For those who are curious what will happen to Commonwealth avenue tomorrow, the long stretch of road will be partially closed to traffic when US President Bush gives his speech to a joint session of Congress in Batasan. This will involve the whole duration of his approach, speech, and departure. But then again, this is not sure since the US secret service are keeping everyone guessing

pati nga sa landing ng airforce1 di pa sure kung sa clark or sa naia.

[kimpOy]

baka sa air force 1 paranaque he..he

[Ungas]

Sabi sa news 95% Air Force 1 will land in NAIA. All roads leading to the airport will be closed to all traffic. Except for airport bound vehicles, passengers must show ID, passport and tickets at the check point. Give allowance of 3-4 hours prior departure. There were 4 international flights affected, a couple of flights from Cathay Pacific.

8 hours lang si bush dito diba? hanggang anong oras kaya itong rerouting scheme na to?

i plan to go to espana kasi tonight, i'll be coming from taguig and my route would be south super hway- straight to osmena- right to quirino- straight to nagtahan- then espana...

thanks.

[kimpOy]

tactic lang na sinabi nila sa clark mag la-land pero sa naia nga yan, why? kasi puro sa metro manila ang mga functions eh, saka dapat everything is within a certain radius mula sa US embassy, kung sakaling ano man ang mangyari nasa US territory soils siya.

pero dapat bang ulit-ulitin ng mga media na siya ang "pinakamakapangyarihan na pinuno sa balat ng mundo"
nakakarindi!!!

ayos na sana ung ortigas area...tinapatan naman ng sale sa megamall..gas!

[boybi]

tapos meron pang milo marathon sa sunday!

[Ungas]

sHoCkAbSoRbEr::: Your route will not be affected that much, though Nagtahan area maybe clogged due to some trucks and other vehicles that will ply the same flyover.

Barricades have been setup against the Malacanang perimeters only, that's Mendiola and J.P. Laurel streets to protect them from rallys.

I'm pretty sure all security alerts will lax after Bush leaves at around midnight. So operations may return back to normal the next following day.

ayos na sana ung ortigas area...tinapatan naman ng sale sa megamall..gas!

dont forget robinson's galleria and star mall also! weekend sale din doon eh... kaya nagleave nalang ako today eh hehe :D

[peter]

Well, for security reasons also kaya hindi specific ang I.T. nila.

[peter]

As of this moment, ok pa naman ang flow ng traffic here at the Ortigas Center. Mejo congested lang ang mga driveways ng Mall due to volume of incoming vehicles and also tightened ang Security inspection on all vehicles.

i was at banawe the whole day last saturday...

and i noticed, the two black hawks were constantly circling manila...

sayang di ko nakita ang convoy! that must have been a sight!

[ghosthunter]

I was thinking if something did happened to the convoy, it might look like Black Hawk Down or In the Line of Fire.
