First meeting was at Eastwood City. Asked people at Hostel how can go there. 1 lady said, get down at Quezon Avenue station and from there catch Jeepney to Eastwood City. Found in google map, from Quezon Avenue to Eastwood City, 9 km.
Caught North Avenue bound metro, packed with commuters, from Buendia MRT station, got down at Quezon Avenue Station(Peso 24), asked some people out side of station from where can catch Jeepney to Eastwood city, most of them not knew where that place is, 1 lady said Eastwood city is near Cubao MRT station. Changed platform, saw many people in queue waiting to enter inside station full of commuters, had to convince security guards at station to let me enter the station instead of waiting in the queue. Boarded in a Taft Avenue bound MRT, got down at Araneta Center-Cubao station. Asked many people outside station, most of them not understood anything, 1 traffic police said from where can get Jeepney to Eastwood City (Peso 13). Took 15 minutes from station, many BPO-Call Center-IT Services companies have office in Eastwood City Cyberpark.
Wanted to repair my laptop, after 1st meeting went to office of HP near Quezon Avenue, 1 guy met in a computer repairing shop at Cubao said that is the HP's service center. Out side of Quezon Avenue station saw office of many BPO. Receptionist at office of HP said HP's service center is in Gil Puyat Avenue, near Buendia MRT station. And my next meeting was in the same area.
So again caught Taft Avenue bound MRT, got down at Buendia MRT station (Peso 24), walked and went to Gil Puyat Avenue. Had couple of meetings. After 1st meeting, whom I met was kind enough to ask driver to drop me at office where I had next meeting.
Many Filipino banks, insurance companies, goverment agencies have their head office in Gil Puyat Avenue. Saw some money changer, for 1 USD giving Peso 46.75, I got better rate last week at Ermita (Peso 47 for USD 1).

After last meeting went to HP Service center in Gil Puyat Avenue, engineers working there co-operated and almost fixed my broken laptop screen.
Worked bit at Hostel, planned for tomorrow's meeting, saw 1 email in my inbox, from 1 California based magazine, they selected my company as 1 of the 10 Fastest Growing Retail companies of 2016.
Was hungry, wanted to fill my empty water bottle, here water filling store operate from 8 AM to 8 PM, Nfally, my friend fom The Gambia, was also pitching for dinner.
After filling water bottle had dinner at same restaurant, where had dinner last 2 days, today got Kalamansi and salt from the chef of the restaurant, so I added those in my own spice mix of fried garlic, fried chili and vinegar and mixed everything with yellow rice (Java rice) and had with fried chicken (Peso 39).

Was walking with Nfally and saw many new restaurant near Ministore, had Ham-Sausage roll (Peso 10) first with tomato-chili sauce and then with BBQ sauce. Best thing had in Philippines so far. Then saw 1 vendor selling Ham-Sausage Pizza (Peso 79), had 1 slice (Peso 10), liked with tomato-chili sauce.
