BEST TAKOYAKI IN ANTIPOLO

June 18, 2022

BEST TAKOYAKI IN ANTIPOLO


We found the best takoyaki in Antipolo that's comparable to the takoyaki we ate in Osaka. It's sold by Tako Tako Queen - Dalig branch. We tried other branches but only the Dalig branch meets ourexpectations. We usually order the 15 pcs Original Octo Bits (290 pesos) and 15 pcs Baby Octo (500 pesos). You can have it delivered through foodpanda or pick it up at 8 M. L Quezon Extension St., C Nail Salon, Brgy Dalig, Antipolo City. 

Opening hours: 1:00 PM - 8:30 PM

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...

 Click HERE to see Google view of the area.


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


Click HERE to see Google view of the area.


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