It’s been a while since I post my last blog. Independent princess can’t find time to write. I’m consumed by my new job in another corporate world and some other activities. Oh well, i’ve been planning to write about commuting in Mc Kinley since its been one of my challenges in my new job. I can be able to save 10k if i commute, so i explore all the possibilities to do so, its like weighing convenience vs a new bag, a travel, investment, gadgets and so many more i can do with 10k right?!

Grand Canal Mall at Mc Kinley
Since The Fort and Mc Kinley is booming now, and will be the next business district in Manila, there’s a huge effort from the local government of Taguig to make public transportation accessible to commuters. And so far, this is the most convenient way. Since I live in Binan, Laguna, I’ll share with you, how to commute if you’re living down south.
