Philippine National Railroad (PNR)

Today i visited my former classmate who now owns his own veterinary clinic @ Citiarcade, Alabang. I'm from the northern part of Metro Manila, so the fastest route to get there? Commuter Express PNR :) (stands for Philippine National Railroad). I sort of looked forward to riding the train. I have always passed by it's railroad tracks in the past, and have wondered if it's functional (since in the past it seemed like no train have ever passed the tracks. Turns out the service was resumed just last year).

I arrived at the Tutuban PNR station at around 10:55a.m. and the train was scheduled to leave at 11:05 a.m. The next train to leave will be around the next hour. I was kinda surprised that many commuters abroad this train. And the travel was fast... in an hour around 12:05p.m. I already reached Alabang, at a very very reasonable price of only 20php :) And the train was as modern as the mrt and lrt... but also even cooler. It played songs with artist like  Kesha (Tik Tok) and Incubus (Drive). It was a nice experience :)
