Start Point: LRT-2 Katipunan Avenue station

List of PUV Terminals

Route used: Aurora Blvd. (LRT-2) > Gateway Mall > Araneta Center walkway > Farmer's Plaza > EDSA (MRT-3) > Taft Ave. (LRT-1) > U.N. Ave.

This trip applies to those who need to get their NBI clearance. Although there are many NBI satellite offices within Metro Manila, the NBI Head Office still has the fastest processing time so for me it's worth the effort to go there.

1. Inside the LRT-2 Katipunan Avenue station, ride the train going to Recto station but get off at Cubao station.
2. Exit into Gateway Mall and make your way to the MRT-3 Araneta Center-Cubao station via the Araneta Center walkway and Farmer's Plaza.
3. At MRT-3 Araneta Center-Cubao station, get on the train headed to Taft Avenue station (your destination).
4. From Taft Avenue station, exit on the same side as Metropoint Mall and use the pedestrian walkway to get to LRT-1 EDSA station.
5. At LRT-1 EDSA station, get on the train headed to Monumento station. From the direction you're walking from, it will be on the same side as where you are so you don't need to cross to the other side of the station.

Caution: Pickpockets are more prevalent at the LRT-1 so be extra vigilant of your belongings.

6. Get off at LRT-1 United Nations station and cross to the other side of Taft Avenue. Once at the other side, you should now be at the corner of U.N. Avenue and Taft Avenue.
7. If you're on U.N. Avenue walking towards Roxas Blvd./Manila Bay, the NBI processing center will be on the left side of the street. If you're on the same side of the street as Manila Doctor's Hospital, you'll need to cross the street to get to the NBI processing center.
