My pregnant wife is planning to go to Divisoria this coming Sunday at sasamahan ko siya. I'm not a Divisoria boy kasi wala akong tiyaga sa lugar na masyadong matao. Pero, mapapasubo yata ako nito :)

jon, from mandarin hotel, you need two jeepney rides to get to divisoria. first walk to Buendia (Gil Puyat, cross it) and board jeepneys bound for Buendia/Catimar. get off at the corner of taft and buendia (where LRT is) then board a jeepney to Divisoria. for a taxi, not much sure about the fare for i haven't taken that route but it's probably around P150
