Destination - National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians in Better Living Subd

Just wanted to share directions to the Church we reguarlarly go to :)

Starting Point:  SM Bicutan Bldg A
South Super Highway (South Luzon Expressway) - Southbound

Directions - Commute:
- Proceed to the Tricycle Terminal
  (Facing SSH/SLEx, terminal is to the left side of the building under the Skyway ramp)
- Take tricycle. There are 2 options:
  Special trip line -> Tell driver you are going to "Simbahan" / "Don Bosco na Simbahan"
  Ordinary trip line -> Look for the overhead sign "Russia" and fall in line (6 people = 1 tricycle)
- Alight at:
  Special trip -> Church
  Ordinary trip -> Dona Soledad corner Peru St. (Landmark:  7-Eleve-n in front of Puregold Jr)
  (Look for the next 7-11 store once you pass by Goodah -> Julie's Bakeshop)

(Succeeding steps applicable to Ordinary Trip option)
- Cross the street to get to the side of Puregold Jr.
- Walk to the Church (with Pedestrian guide):
   Along the other side of Peru in-between Puregold Jr and a Spa place -> (Will pass by the guard house) -> dead-end -> right at Don Bosco -> left at Portugal -> dead-end -> right at Chemistry
   (The Church perimeter should be visible when walking along Chemistry St.)

To go back to SM Bicutan:
Again two options:  Special trip or Ordinary trip

Special trip:
- Take tricycle usually waiting outside the Church perimeter

Ordinary trip:
- Walk back to Dona Soledad
- Take tricycle in front of Puregold Jr.
  (Again, two options but no separate lines for Special and Ordinary trips. For special trips, just tell driver "Special - SM Bicutan".  For ordinary trips, just take a seat and wait until 6 people are in the tricycle.)

Fare:
- Tricycle (to or from Church): Ordinary trip = P8.50 (but usually rounded off to P9)
  (No info on the special trip. Sorry.)

Directions - Private Vehicle:
- Drive along Dona Soledad Avenue (in-between SM Bicutan Bldg A & B)
  (Main road with landmarks (R):  Sun Valley gate, BPI Family Bank, Mercury Drugstore, Jollibee, PNB, Pizza Hut, Aling Idang's, Goodah)
- Turn left to Puregold Jr, Peru St (Left side)
- Turn right when you get to the T-intersection
- Turn left after 2 blocks to Portugal St.
- Go straight to the entrance gate of the Church
