Other HELPFUL TIPS:

How to go to Minglanilla from Cebu City?
* V-Hire in Citilink Terminal. Citilink Terminal is located beside the former Cebu City Medical Center. You can take any southbound -hire. No Minglanilla-specific route for V-hires.
* Carcar-bound buses / Ceres buses at South Bus Terminal
* You can also wait at the Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Punta Princesa for Minglanilla-bound jeepneys. Their number is usually 043 / 046.
* Taxi =)
