Mcp 2019 Visitor Info Venue & Visitor Information MUSCLECONTEST PHILIPPINES 2019 PHILIPPINES Metro Manila Manila is the capital of the Philippines and the nation's center of education, business, and transportation. Metro Manila is the most populous metropolitan region composing the city of Manila and surrounding cities like Makati, Mandaluyong, Muntinlupa, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City and Taguig. The event venue, The Tent at Acacia Estates, is in Taguig right after the airports. Hence, exploring any of the more than 7,000 islands of the Philippines via domestic air travel will be convenient. If you have a few nights to spare you may go to Palawan (El Nido, Coron, San Vicente, Port Barton are some of the most visited), Boracay, Bohol, Siargao (for surfing), etc. For day trips, you can go consider Corregidor Island, Anilao Batangas (for diving and snorkeling) Tagaytay to see Taal Volcano, Hidden Valley Springs in Laguna or Mount Pinatubo in Pampanga. Getting In The most reasonable and practical way to reach Manila is by air. Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), is the Philippines’ primary international airport with 4 terminals — Terminals 1, 2, 3, 4. Always check the Terminal of your airline as some airlines use more than one terminal. In any case, know that a free shuttle bus runs every 15 minutes to connect all 4 terminals 24 hours daily. Terminal 1 is used for most international flights such as Japan Airlines, Jetstar, China Southern, Asiana, EVA Air, Thai Airways, Korean Air, Saudia, Scoot, Alitalia, Kuwait Airways, Air China, Gulf Air, Hong Kong Airlines, Oman Air, Vietnam Airlines, etc. Terminal 2 is used by Philippine Airlines, ANA, Etihad, Turkish Airways, Air Macau, Bangkok Airways, etc. Terminal 3 is used by domestic carriers like Cebu Pacific and several international airlines like Cathay Pacific, Cathay Dragon, Singapore Airlines, Air Canada, Emirates, Qatar, United Airlines, Air France, Delta Airlines, KLM, Qantas, etc. Terminal 4 is used by budget carriers AirAsia and Air Swift. Getting Around While there are taxis outside NAIA Terminals’ arrival areas heading downtown it’s best to check if your hotel has a shuttle service before considering transport options. Airport metered taxis are colored yellow, and have the right to stop and pick up passengers and line up the porte cochere area as you step out of the arrival hall. Each departing taxi is registered by a dispatcher. Despite this, complaints have been reported (accelerated meters, charging full days' mileage, etc). Do not let the yellow taxi driver retain both taxi slips. White taxis are warned as "not officially sanctioned" by NAIA, but often times are much cheaper. Base fare start at ₱40. But they can only be spotted in the departure level, where they are dropping off departing passengers. Athletes and visitors are encouraged to download Grab App (ride hailing platform/ booking service) for cars, taxi, carpool, and courier to help reach destinations in Manila. Fares using this APP can be paid via your registered credit card in the APP or by cash (Philippine Pesos). Recommended Neighborhoods Accommodations are plenty. If you want to be walking distance to the venue then there are AirBnB options. McKinley Hills is 3 kilometers or 1.8 miles away by car. Bonifacio Global City is 5 kilometers or 3 miles away by vehicle. Makati City is 6 kilometers or 4 miles away. While Resorts World is 10 kilometers or 6 miles away. All 4 have great dining and entertainment options. Newport is next to the airport and has a casino but the majority are in Entertainment City which is 15 kilometers or 9 miles away (where Okada, Solaire, City of Dreams are located). Acacia Estates (walk to venue) only has AirBnB options. You can also go to Agoda Homes, hotels.com or Tripadvisor for choices of apartments for short stay rent. McKinley Hills neighborhood is also a good choice since dining and entertainment options are available and its a short cab drive away in an area not susceptible to unpredictable traffic jams as the other areas. Again short stay studios for rent are aplenty in the aforementioned room booking sites. Bonifacio Global City (BGC) Area | Taguig City Bonifacio Global City (also known as BGC, Global City, or The Fort) is a financial and lifestyle district in Metro Manila, Philippines. The Bonifacio High Street forms the physical core of the Bonifacio Global City and is essentially designed as a three-by-three matrix of office and residential buildings, retail outlets and pedestrian-friendly roads and walkways. The grid approach ensures a city center that is easy to navigate. The 5th and 11th Avenues and 32nd and 26th Streets serve as the boundaries of the city center. Bonifacio Global City is 5 km (0.0 mi) away from The Tent at Acacia Estates in Taguig City — venue of the Musclecontest Philippines 2019.

  • BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 Hours)
    BINONDO FOOD TRIP (4 hours) Eat your way around Binondo, the Philippines’ Chinatown. Located across the Pasig River from the walled city of Intramuros, Binondo was formally established in 1594, and is believed to be the oldest Chinatown in the world. It is the center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino-Chinese merchants, and given the historic reach of Chinese trading in the Pacific, it has been a hub of Chinese commerce in the Philippines since before the first Spanish colonizers arrived in the Philippines in 1521. Before World War II, Binondo was the center of the banking and financial community in the Philippines, housing insurance companies, commercial banks and other financial institutions from Britain and the United States. These banks were located mostly along Escólta, which used to be called the "Wall Street of the Philippines". Binondo remains a center of commerce and trade for all types of businesses run by Filipino- Chinese merchants and is famous for its diverse offerings of Chinese cuisine. Enjoy walking around the streets of Binondo, taking in Tsinoy (Chinese-Filipino) history through various Chinese specialties from its small and cozy restaurants. Have a taste of fried Chinese Lumpia, Kuchay Empanada and Misua Guisado at Quick Snack located along Carvajal Street; Kiampong Rice and Peanut Balls at Café Mezzanine; Kuchay Dumplings at Dong Bei Dumplings and the growing famous Beef Kan Pan of Lan Zhou La Mien.

The robustness of a road network against such attack is crucial to be studied because it may cripple its connectivity by simply shutting down these hubs. We show the important hubs in a road network based on network structure and propose a model for robustness analysis. By identifying important hubs in a road network, possible preparation schemes may be done earlier to mitigate random terrorist attacks, including defense reinforcement and transportation security. A case study of the Metro Manila road network is also presented. The case study shows that the most important hubs in the Metro Manila road network are near airports, piers, major highways and expressways. Keywords: PageRank, Terrorist Attack, Robustness 1. Introduction Table 1 Comparative analysis of different Roads are important access points because methodologies on network robustness indices connects different places like cities, districts, and Author Method Strength Weakness landmarks.

  • Makati City Is Getting Ready!
    www.unisdr.org/campaign Making Cities Resilient: My City is Getting Ready! World Disaster Reduction Campaign 2010-2011 Makati City is getting ready! Makati City, National Capital Region (Metro-Manila), Philippines Population: 510,383 Type of Hazard(s): Typhoons, Earthquakes, Floods For the past years, Makati is among the cities in NCR affected by several hydrometeorological disasters such as Typhoon Milenyo (Xangsane) in 2006, Typhoon Egay (Sepat) in 2007, Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) in 2009, and Typhoon Pepeng (Parma) also in 2009. There are two physical characteristics of the City that pose danger to its present and future development. A part of the Valley Fault System, a potential generator of a large magnitude of earthquake in NCR is located at the eastern part of Makati. Six (6) barangays (communities) were identified as high risk areas. Second, the western portion of the City is composed of former tidal flats where seven (7) barangays are flood-prone. Disaster Risk Reduction activities Essential 1: Put in place Organisation and coordination The City Government established and institutionalised the Makati City Disaster Coordinating Council (MCDCC) as a specialised task group for the coordination of disaster reduction policies and strategies between the national, regional levels and the city level. MCDCC also serves as a policy decision-making body for DRR-related activities. Essential 2: Assign a budget for DRR As mandated by the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) the City Government allots 5% of its total annual fund for calamity. From 2010 onwards, the City Government optimises the said fund to be used for disaster preparedness and risk reduction in addition to disaster response and post recovery initiatives.
