From here you can easily reach Bonifacio Global City along C5 Road, a distance of just a couple of kilometers, or continue north toward the historic old district Intramuros in Manila center. With a car you also have the opportunity to drive south toward Tagaytay, a cool mountain town with fantastic views over Taal volcano, approximately six miles away.
