For those who will drive to the Awards Night, PETA-PHINMA Theater has ample parking space. To get to the PETA-PHINMA Theater:

1. If you are coming from the north, take EDSA going south, turn right at Aurora Blvd. Turn right at E. Rodriguez Avenue, then turn right at Eymard Drive. The PETA-PHINMA Theater should be at your right.

2. If you are coming from the south, you cannot turn left from EDSA to Aurora Blvd. You have to find a U-turn. From EDSA, turn right at Aurora Blvd, then make a U-turn at Harvard St., go straight Aurora Blvd. going west, turn right E. Rodriguez, then turn right Eymard. It is after Christ the King Church and immediately after the Caltex Gas station, before Quezon City Sports Club.

3. If you are coming from Manila, take España, then approaching Mabuhay Rotonda, turn right at E. Rodriguez, then turn left at Eymard.

4. If you are coming from the east, you have it easy. Just brave the traffic along Aurora Blvd going to Sta. Mesa, turn right at E. Rodriguez, then turn right at Eymard.

For those who will commute:

1. If you are coming from the north, take the MRT and get off at Araneta Center Station. Take a leisurely walk (just make sure you won’t be late) from Farmer’s Plaza up to Gateway, and exit at Aurora Blvd. Take a jeep or FX going to España or Quiapo, then get off at Eymard (tell the driver to drop you off before Quezon City Sports Club). It’s a short walk from Eymard corner E. Rodriguez. PETA-PHINMA Theater is at the right side.

2. If you are coming from the south, see number 1 take the MRT and get off at Araneta Center Station. Take a leisurely walk (just make sure you won’t be late) from Farmer’s Plaza up to Gateway, and exit at Aurora Blvd. Take a jeep or FX going to España or Quiapo, then get off at Eymard (tell the driver to drop you off before Quezon City Sports Club). It’s a short walk from Eymard corner E. Rodriguez. PETA-PHINMA Theater is at the right side.

3. If you are coming from the west, you have two choices:
a. From España, take a jeep or FX going to Cubao (don’t take the jeep or FX that plies the Cubao-Sta. Mesa route). Get off immediately after QC Sports Club. Cross the street towards Eymard (Caltex station at the corner).
b. Take the LRT2 and get off at Araneta Center Terminal Station. Go down, then take a jeep or FX going to España or Quiapo, then get off at Eymard (tell the driver to drop you off after Quezon City Sports Club).

4. If you are coming from the east, you have it easy. At Aurora Blvd. take a jeep or FX going to España or Quiapo, then get off at Eymard (tell the driver to drop you off before Quezon City Sports Club).

Landmarks:

If you are coming from Cubao, Eymard is after Christ the King Church and Seminary. Across Eymard is a Caltex station.

If you are coming from Mabuhay Rotonda, Eymard is at your left, across is a Caltex station.

PS: Don’t forget to bring your donation to Ondoy victims: dry clothes, footwear, towels. Thanks!
