    In terms of distance, long way ang EDSA. Shortest is thru Manila. pag di traffic sa EDSA, the best ito kasi walang traffic lights. Now di na ako dumadaan sa Manila. Normal route ko ay SLEX -> C5 -> EDSA -> NLEX

    Pag summer vacation, on a week end, sa manila kami dati dumadaan. Takot kasi si Erpats sa EDSA.

    and if you're concerned about the road conditions, makaldag pag nag via manila pa-NLEX lalo na sa may a bonifacio - daanan kasi ng mga trucks.

    Hello. Bibiyahe ako from NLEX to SLEX friday night. Tantya ko mga 8pm nasa EDSA Balintawak na ako. Ang balak ko kasi is to take Ortigas Ave going C-5 tapos SLEX na. Is there any other faster route from EDSA to C-5 on a friday night? Is EDSA-Magallanes-SLEX a bad idea?

    Thanks

    Easiest route to C5 from EDSA would probably be through Murphy or Boni Serrano (which is a straight shot to Libis... traffic, though). Ortigas works, but traffic build-up is bad there... I'd get off Ortigas, go down Meralco and get on Julia Vargas (I hope I got that right... it's the road going down the center of Megamall). This puts you on C5 right before the build-up at Pasig.

    Pasig is the worst part. There's always a huge build-up of traffic there at rush-hour... after that, it's free sailing to SLEX, but I don't know if it's any faster than EDSA.

    The traffic on EDSA is bad, but at least you'll get a chance to use the Skyway after braving Magallanes. The major traffic build-up on SLEX southbound is under the Skyway at Bicutan, after the Skyway at Sucat (but that's minor) and at Alabang. The Skyway saves you maybe 15-20 minutes in rush-hour traffic (for an extra 75 bucks, though...)

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    You may take the risk, IMO. Medyo magaan ang flow ng EDSA nitong mga nakaraang araw, even yung umaga. C5 is worst these days due ti the elevated u turn project. kung mga 8 pm, balintawak ka na, i suggest you take a bonifacio, habang wala pa mga truck.

    i suggest wag mo gamitin ang c-5 route. kahit na sabihin natin normal situation, mas matatagalan ka makarating sa slex niyan. may 3 ways ako paano makarating sa slex from nlex. una yung usual edsa route, 2nd ang c-5 route, 3rd ang sinabi ni sarsi, nagtahan route. for me, nagtahan route ang mabilis kasi derecho mo lang a. bonifacio, tapos dimasalang, lacson, nagtahan, kaliwa sa osmena, yun na, slex na! ang problema mo lang dito, pag ikaw natrapik sa a. bonifacio at sa may balintawak, ingat!

    Thanks Niky. I would probably try Ortigas-Meralco-J. Vargas-C-5. But I'm considering EDSA as well because a lot of people are saying that EDSA southbound is not as bad as before.

    Thanks Sarsi. It's something I would really love to try. Hindi ko pa kasi nasubukan ito.

    Thanks testament11. Tama ka, nakakatakot ang traffic sa A. Bonifacio. I remember one time, gabi din and it's on a weekday papaunta ako ng Espana. Ay grabe ang traffic sa A. Bonifacio
