The food is authentic Vietnamese food and very delicious. The ingredients are fresh and the aroma of herbs is stunning. The delivery is very efficient, although earlier than my requested time, which is just fine with me. The food was placed in a big box and each dish came in a plastic container which is properly marked.

Is Marcos Highway, Marikina to Rizal, Exempt from Number Coding?

June 30, 2016

Is Marcos Highway, Marikina to Rizal, Exempt from Number Coding?

I felt the need to make this post because I still see a lot of motorists being caught in a small area along Marcos highway that's not included in the exemption.

The number coding scheme of the Metro Manila Development Authority, known officially as the Unified Vehicular Volume Reduction Program, "is a traffic decongestion scheme which bans private and public utility vehicles from plying the roads on weekday peak hours." (source: MMDA site). For more details, see All about number coding.


Under the rule, Marikina is exempted from the number coding scheme. Since Rizal is not part of Metro Manila, the number coding scheme does not apply to them.

Marcos Highway, know as MARILAQUE highway (Marikina-Rizal-Laguna-Quezon highway) is a 110 km road that connects Metro Manila to Quezon. The name creates the impression that the highway traverses only these areas, not knowing that a very small portion of the highway traverses Pasig, which is NOT EXEMPT from the number coding scheme. Motorists are caught in this small portion of the highway when they use it beyond the window hours of the scheme. (For window hours, see here)


This is the location of the portion where there is no color coding exemption.

Below is the Marikina boundary.




The yellow road seen here is Marcos highway.
The pink area is the Marikina boundary.
The yellow road outside the pink area is Pasig.
That is the area covered by the number coding scheme.


Click the ff. see it in Google Maps: Marikina boundary




The ONLY PORTION of Marcos Highway covered by the number coding scheme starts from the area across Sta Lucia East Mall...

.... until the pedestrian walk way of the  LRT-2 Santolan station.

THE PASIG PORTION COVERED BY NUMBER CODING IS ONLY AROUND 2 KM.

  

Adidas Outlet Store at Riverbanks Mall, Marikina: Is it Worth Visiting?

Adidas Outlet Store 
at Riverbanks Mall, Marikina:  
Is it Worth Visiting?

All my readers are familiar with my August 2013 post: Adidas Outlet Store at C-5, Taguig: Is it Worth Visiting?. Two (2) years later, I'm out hunting again for a Supernova Glide to replace my 2nd Supernova Glide, a Glide 4, which I bought 2 years ago and was featured in my 2013 post.

I searched for it once again at the Adidas Outlet Store in C-5, then again at Caltex Mega Station, NLEX and Shell of Asia, NLEX. But I failed to find it. So I decided that if I can't find it at the Outlet Stores, I'm going to buy it online at Adidas Philippines.

The cheapest Supernova Glide I found in the online store of Adidas Philippines is shown below:





Before buying at the online store, I decided to visit the Adidas Outlet Store at Riverbanks Mall as a last attempt at finding a heavily discounted Supernova Glide. Lo and behold, I found a Supernova Glide. 

The cheapest I found is an old model of Supernova Glide, discounted by 70% the regular price of a brand new Adidas Supernova Glide 7W, which is 1798.50 pesos. The price of a brand new Supernova Glide 7 is 5995 pesos. However, the only size available for the old model is 6 1/2 which I found too tight. So, I further browsed at the store and then found the newest Supernova Glide 7 boost, discounted at 50%. It's the same one I found at the online store and with the size I wanted. But the price at the Adidas outlet store is only 2997.50 pesos compared to the online discounted price of 5095 pesos. 


My new Supernova Glide 7 that I bought
at the Adidas Outlet Store at Riverbanks Mall.

My receipt showing the discounted price of my new Supernova Glide.


So, is the Adidas Outlet Store at Riverbanks Center worth visiting? Yes, definitely! I still found the newest Supernova Glide at 50% off the original price, and 40% off the online price.


My tip: 

If you know the exact model of the shoes you want, you can call before you go to find out if there's a size for you.
