Roxas Boulevard: Great Place To Watch Fireworks On New Year Eve

Roxas Boulevard is a long stretch of thouroughfare by the Manila Bay, about 9 kilometers, from Anda Circle in the Port Area up to NAIA Road in Paranaque. It was so beautiful according to those who born ahead of us. But that was 40 years ago, when the whole stretch of the so called "lover's boulevard", known then as Dewey Boulevard, ran smoothly without obstructions brought about by major development that slowly engulfed our metropolis after the war. Then, it was so lovely. With coconut trees dotting along its line, Roxas Boulevard was the real picture of a grandeur highway. Today, Roxas Boulevard is wider. To give way for progress some coconut trees must be cut down. And so we have now CCP Complex, Mall of Asia, Metropolitan Park, Asiaworld City and soon the Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City. Well, if it's not yet stalled as presumed.

Manila Bay at Roxas Boulevard now confined to Malate and Ermita Districts. And if you're wondering what part of Roxas Boulevard is the best area to watch fireworks this coming New Year's Eve, no doubt it's the part from Pedro Gil up to Quirino Avenue. Yearly, the local government of the city of Manila allots big budget for pyrotechnics to make the welcoming of the coming new year more memorable, joyful and festive. So if you're thinking of where to spend your New Year to watch fireworks on the very first hour of 2011, consider this great destination.

How To Get To Mall Of Asia Or MOA

The Mall of Asia or most popularly known as MOA is located exactly at the southern end of EDSA in the reclaimed land in Pasay City, Metro Manila.

Cross EDSA via MRT station's overpass - there are elevators in some MRT stations. Ride another bus with "Baclaran MOA" sign. This bus will take you directly to MOA. Tips: Magallanes Station has elevators on both sides, Ayala has only one, the other side, so you need to use stairway to go up. Loading zone in Ayala - just below the station and no need to walk too far. Loading station in Magallanes - too far from exit of elevator, you need to walk far along EDSA to take a ride. The comfort of elevator is offset by discomfort of walking too far to the loading zone.
