If Only I knew This Sooner BGC Bus Philippines 

Barangay Chairman, Mergim , you are rocking the whole of BGC. stay safe and keep doing what you are doing best..

Good job Mergim. You are the first vlogger to showcase the connecting bridges of Ayala malls, plus the BGC Bus and its routes. So educational. You made a very wise decision to stay in BGC. Keep vlogging.

You’re probably the first vlogger who did the bus transit from bgc to Ayala which I didn’t know, so thanks.

Mergim, just a suggestion: please feature the Christmas lights along Ayala Avenue at nightime, when all lights are on. Only snippets are shown in newscasts. Perhaps an extensive feature, I just think plenty will be interested to know the extent of the lights. Include also the ones in Ayala Triangle. Just a suggestion though. I love your vlogs. I watch your vlog everyday.

Wow! Another very useful info from BGC Ambassador Mergim. 👍🏼❤️

Good morning mergim nice touring your viewers in a bgc bus where you can save .Have a nice day and continue blogging anything.take care.👍✌😍🙏

I be in BGC february. Hope to meet you. Im coming from los angeles. Coz of your vloggs. Im goin to visit Manila

I’ve been watching Mergims vlogs, because he gives clear and complete information on various things. He’s like a good reporter. I just realized that I was not subscribed. So I am now subscribed. Be sure to check if you are subscribed.

You can also use those BeepCards on MRT & LRT trains & P2P buses as well! You can just buy & reload those BeepCards on any MRT/LRT train stations & P2P bus terminals.

I'm learning a lot from your BGC experience. Things I didn't know that exist. Its great!

Seen those BGC bus but never tried it! Thanks for showing us the schedules n different routes. Will try it next time I’m in BGC

There's a new intermodal terminal in Makati that was recently opened called 'One Ayala Terminal' which I think is right below that One Ayala Mall right at the corner of Ayala Avenue and EDSA. It serves as the Ayala stop of the EDSA Busway system. The One Ayala Terminal is a transport hub offering three terminals that serve southbound buses, PUVs and modern jeepneys.

BGC buses have been around for several years now. Nothing new except the new routes and extended routes, hours including weekend and holiday hours. They try to make it convenient and accessible to everyone living in the area as well they are trying to copy the transportation system they have in some U.S. cities and in Canada.

Excellent ambassador for BCG, and outright FREE promotion, thanks Thom Yorke..

Mergim you can be a barangay captain of the BGC you are very much oriented the place people knew you and you have developed connection with the locals and the residences BGC is already your play ground meeting with friends. have fun, relaxing that's BGC life in the Philippines.

You could actually walk from SM Makati (EDSA Ayala) all the way to Makati Medical Center (the other end of Ayala Ave) without walking at ground level.

That Ayala Mall is the brand new One Ayala bus terminal which connects Makati to the southern outskirts of Metro Manila, including the provinces of Laguna, Batangas and Quezon Province (not Quezon City which is different). It was inaugurated I think last week.

Aw, I kinda miss taking those buses, always comfortable.

Yes finally, I'm glad someone used the BGC bus!!! 😃👍

The road under the walkway is called Makati Ave and not Ayala Ave. You can ride a jeep with route Washington - Ayala to go the the bus terminal. From there, you can now ride the BGC bus going back to BGC. Look ko the North route (till Uptown) or Central (till Market-Market) or Upper East (till High Street) or Lower West (will past the side of High Street).

I love reading the comments on your videos since your supporters have so much good advice for tourists like me

I'm thankful Mergim for this info it helps us a lot for those working and commuters like us thank you so much our BGC Ambassador. God Bless you! ❤️❤️❤️

Yes! Road to 100k silver button....No skipping of ads like subscribe comment and share...FAM(pinoy Friends who Adopted Mergim) here...

It’s nice seeing these kind of transportation. Forward Philippines. Malapit na maging SG or HK. Sana magtuloy tuloy

Hey Mergim! Well done! This is so helpful. I am from BGC but clearly you are up and about BGC. Keep on! Your Vlog is so informative! Keep on! 🎉

Mergim -- Well, when I visit Manila and stay in Makati, I'll take the BGC bus to Uptown, hoping to bump into you. But meanwhile, I'm in winter here. Wishing for a hot muggy day.

Looks like a lot of your subscribers are hoping to see you every time they are in BGC.🙂 You should start a "Catch Mergim" game and the first person to meet you get a free Pick Up coffee.😁😁😁

Mergim If you're into cars, you can check out the 2022 Manila Auto Salon happening at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City between November 24 and November 27.

Keep on Vlogging our only daily #BGCNavigator! Mabuhay Ka #Mergim!

Mergim you have definitely adapted to life in BGC! Your vlogs are informative and resourceful, even to foreign visitors staying in the area. I love these kind of vlogs. Thanks!

Landmark’s basement has a large food court and grocery. Glorietta’s food hall has a lot of fantastic food selection. There’s also the Green Frog hybrid bus from PITX, DFA, Mall of Asia with several stops in Makati (along Buendia & Ayala) and BGC. The Beep Card also works in MRT, LRT and several northbound and southbound EDSA buses.

Glad ur back ur last video in Thailand was only 5 k- the 1st vlog you posts after Thailand is already 20 k . Filipinos are savage. Lol they don’t like to watch other places 😂😂😂

Thanks for letting us know about this BGC bus to Makati. Wished i have known this too much much earlier.

Really amazing how you can just talk to people and engage them in real conversations

Mergim!!! My friend and I went to Uptown yesterday I asked her to join me hoping that we would be able to see you around but we didn't 😭 we also went to market market before uptown but still I didn't see you there 😔 anyways thanks for the new vlog. Good morning 🌅

Wow! This is so helpful for us who live in the provinces who wish to go around Manila without riding a cab.

Great video as usual! I can't believe you up haven't spent time in Makati malls. A few comments: 1. Bgc buses tend to have a lot of passengers during work days. A lot of folks do know about them hehe 2. The walkway you stood on (between landmark and greenbelt) is over Makati avenue. Which does connect to Ayala avenue 3. Beside greenbelt 5 you can hop on a bus that goes to Ayala town center (another mall) in Alabang. They accept your beep card :)

Its a great video mergim thanks for showing us about all those area its cool 😍😍

Ayala One just opened a few days back. Thanks for the update on the BGC bus. There will be more novelties in Ayala One in the coming weeks, i guess.

This kind of busses were so cool, it's so open and large windows and small unlike traditional busses were it's so tall that i get so dizzy everytime.

Ayala One, a modern bus terminal is also open. I think just this month.

I used to walk there from work and going to the bus stop in Edsa. It’s a long walk but you get amused with the different malls/stores you walked by. Amused then broke 😂 temptations!!!😆❤️

Please feature Christmas lights & decorations for your viewers abroad it makes us feel close to home. 🎄🎄🎄

SM edsa is the first SM in the Philippines...I remember that we include SM edsa in my study back 4 years ago...I love studying their company profile as part in our study😍

MERGIM im glad i subscribe to your chanel since you came in the philippines from thailand. I thought b4 you are just a typical vlogger wjo goes to a new place and try to captivate viewers just to get people to subscribe to yoy and leave as soon they got what they want. Your vlogs shows the streetsides of place and give infos to people the tricks, and hotspots etc to give convenience to those daily commuters or local tourist tips and advices wc is a better option. Im from Davao city but im working in Dubai since 2013. And the path from market2x to sm ayala glorietta landmark to greenbelt brings back memories. I use to live in that area for 2yrs. Thanks for makng this vlog. It felt like i was transported back in 2011. Im so happy

You can also use your beep card on the MRT and LRT :)

Next, try the yellow buses aka P2P that connect different business districts of Metro Manila, I believe there is at market market parking.

Great information in this video! I will be staying in makati so it’s good to see I have public transport options to BGC/uptown. The comment section also has plethora of great information and tips

Great, very informative! At least, we're being updated in this kind of "new route" there in BGC! Registered Nurse working here in Lahore, Pakistan!

SM was originally called ShoeMart. It started out as a small store in the now moribund downtown Manila (Santa Cruz area) but has since become a real estate behemoth (obviously).

Thanks Mergim for sharing this awesome tip..planning to go to BGC on a commute this week and exactly what I need to go there from Ayala Mall...simply perfect..😊😊😊

I guess you are now learning how to use the public transportation system of the Philippines. That is really cool. The BeepCard will come in handy; you can also use it to ride the MRT and LRT, as well as the P2P buses along EDSA.

wow you are very expert now in travelling by bus good job mergem take care

That bus route is just a stop gap. A BGC-MAKATI-MOA subway route was first planned but they finally decided to build first the Metro Manila Subway from Valenzuela to NAIA passing BGC, McKinley Hill & Ortigas which is under construction now. Therefore the subway connection of ORTIGAS (2 stations) & BGC /McKinley Hill will come first (before 2026) before the subway connection of BGC & Makati. However, the Makati SUBWAY which is under construction too will connect the Western end of Ayala Ave (Buendia) to Guadalupe & northern end of BGC

BGC the best among the rest👍👍👍

You should come to ayala triangle for its light shows.

i love greenbelt and glorieta and i shop my groceries in landmark whenever i come visit philippines.i own a condo in salcedo .thats why i tend to hang around in that area lol

@Mergim, try to do a blog about ARCA South pls... A new BGC in the making near Mc Kinley. Give us a tour there of the latest development. Thanks

I'm with you on that; getting in and out of BGC during rush hour is always an ugly mess of a nightmare. A few years back, there was talk of plans for an underground transit system that would connect BGC, makati and MOA. If they ever getting around to building that out, it'll be one step in the right direction toward decongestion.

Thanks, this is the first time I heard about this. Thanks for this lovely and informative vlog.

Wow, a Mercedes benz bus really? Oh my!😍😍😍

This is so informative… thanks.

Your take on the sorrounding looks amazing. I didn't know that it looks so great on video.

Keep making great vids sir! Especially in BGC and Makati and you can also explore Alabang and Sta. Rosa Laguna (Nuvali)

I used to watch you to see your reactions and maybe educate you on some things about the Philippines. But man, now you are educating me about my own country, jeezus.

Oh wow! Thanks for the info Mergim!!

Good morning, beautiful people!🌻

Once they have the subway going, it’ll most likely take 5 min from bgc to Ayala

Your world here is getting bigger na 👍 From BGC Community, Now Makati Business District! You can ride jeepneys to BGC Bus station.

Good job Mergim! 👏🏼 galing!

GREENBELT.. WAS THERE. IN 1980... had german wurst at this German Resro.. I forgot the name.. across the pancake house.. mannn I am sooo old.. but Makati was so amazing... and my job near HOECHST bldg.. was also amazing.. missing the LOVE BUS.. HAHAHA AH YAHH THOSE WERE THE DAYS...

Well well what can i say. youve become a vlogger public transpo tourist guide. Great concept for all other new tourist visitors who are new in the areas around BGC and Makati. Kudos to you bro you're doing great and awesome.😎👍

wow . perfect...loved it so much..

Certainly enjoyed your video Mergim. I cannot immagine now BGC without a Mergim covering it. I remember your vlog in Antipolo when you entered that creepy cave.

Hi Mergim. I hear the Christmas lights show in Ayala Triangle is now on. You might want to feature thar one in your future vlogs.

Basically the trip from BGC to Makati and vice versa is now available for just 13 pesos. And on a weekend, you can easily use the BGC Bus and drop off at Ayala Station, ride the MRT there, hop off in Cubao Station then boom, you're in Cubao and you can comeback to see what you previously wanted to visit there. All the CBD's are interconnected via MRT-LRT so if you really want to saved some cash to increase your revenue from bloggin then commuting is the key BUT on a WEEKDAY please keep in mind that 6 AM-8:30 AM and 5 PM - 9 PM is pretty much the RUSH hour for this public transportion and my oh my, I'm sure you know how frustrating the rush hour in Metro Manila is haha.

I think its better to take the bus than taxi😁Captain Mergim😁

and from greenbelt 1 you can go to ayala town center in alabang and back via the direct P2P (point-2-point) buses. just an hour or so away and it's a whole different vibe over there

Hello mergim good job mate keep it up. !!

Love this. Make more videos on how to commute in the metro 😊 this is very helpful

Mergim your the best👍

I really enjoyed your videos 🙂 I’m also waiting for the EDSA carousel bus vlogs try to ride on Sunday to avoid crowds and also try coffee shops that serve Barako coffee and other authentic filipino dishes.

Makati is a luxury place. BGC is a combination of fun and luxury.

Now you know .

Thanks, very useful I will be using this from now on.

Here are some unsolicited Beep Card tips: ─ Beep has an app, you can check and top up your credit using your phone's NFC and pay through Gcash or Maya ─ Beep also works with LRT and MRT lines. Some stations are connected to more malls you haven't explored as of yet. ─ Some convenience stores can top up your card and some even accept your card credits as payment. Enjoy!

Thanks for all the infos. It makes life easier..

Another first from Mergim. You found a way to get from one place to another without spending a fortune a typical visitor will do. There’s actually a walkway from Greenbelt that connects all the buildings of Ayala Ave that stretches all the way to Makati Medical Center (where Ayala Ave ends) Good job!!

From Uptown mall You can try the Kalayaan avenue route going to the entire stretch of Ayala Ave. just cross the street from Philplans building about 5 minutes walk from Uptown and ride the Shuttle van going to Ayala the opposite route takes You all the way to Antipolo City

Love this video...pls do more video s on how to get around the Philippines. 😃

nice thank you mergim more accesible now from makati ayala mrt station to bgc🖒🖒👊

U can use the beep card for the lrt & mrt too. Can be purchased at the train station machines

Thanks for the educational and very helpful vlog Mergim! ❤️👍🏼🙏🏻 Stay safe stay healthy!

Those malls are interconnected with each other. Starting from SM then to Glorietta then to landmark then to greenbelt 1 to 5.

hi mergim…great to see you in person in Central Square earlier..👍👍

In the past if I think bgc Juicy Vlog and Make it happen Vlog, now Brgy Capt. Mergim:)

I used to work in BGC, that bus is well known to people who work there.

Mergim really loves his Pickup Coffee.

wow That's great Sir !!!🤩

That Market Market transport terminal is a nightmare during rush hours AND when it's raining. Very long queue, no transport vehicles in sight and very long waiting time. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
