Going around the venue

HOW TO GET THERE

By Air (most common for international and domestic travel)

  • From Outside the Philippines: Fly to Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA). Many international airlines offer direct flights from various cities in Asia, the Middle East, and some parts of the U.S.

  • From Within the Philippines: Book a domestic flight from Manila, Davao, or other major cities to MCIA. Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, and AirAsia operate frequent flights.

By Ferry (popular for inter-island travel)

  • From Nearby Islands: Ferries are available from islands like Bohol, Leyte, and Negros to Cebu City. Fast ferries such as OceanJet and SuperCat connect nearby islands to Cebu via the Cebu City Pier.

By Land and Ferry Combo (from nearby provinces)

  • From Mindanao or Luzon: You can take a bus and RORO (Roll-On Roll-Off) ferry. Many bus companies offer direct routes, but travel times are longer than flying.

Arriving in Cebu

From Mactan-Cebu International Airport: You can take a taxi, Grab, or MyBus (affordable airport shuttle) to reach USPF.  Simply tell the driver to take you to "USPF Salinas Drive, Lahug."  This is a straightforward route, and most drivers are familiar with it.

From Cebu City proper, take a jeepney heading toward Lahug or Busay.  Look for routes #04L, #17B, or #17C – they all pass through Salinas Drive, where USPF is located.  Ask the driver to drop you off near USPF.

By Private Vehicle:Navigate toward Salinas Drive in Lahug, Cebu City.  USPF is close to landmarks like IT Park and the JY Square Mall. If using a navigation app, just search "USPF Salinas."
