How To Get To UP-Ayala Technohub?

The UP-Ayala Land TechnoHub commercial complex, which focuses on information and technology businesses, is still part of the UP-Diliman Campus grounds (the 37.5-hectare North Science and Technology Park) though it's already across the "proper". It serves as the hub for huge companies like IBM, Manulife, HSBC, and other BPO centers.

The area was developed by Ayala, as suggested by its formal name, and true enough, you will really feel the signature Ayala atmosphere - some say this is a mini-Trinoma but it resembles more of a cousin of Serendra. Restaurants and coffeeshops are present and with the very relaxing open-space environment, one will say that he can stay here for a day!

Restaurants and establishments found here are: Yellow Cab, Old Spaghetti House, Flapjacks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Razon's, Le Ching Tea House, Kanin Club, Gerry's Grill, Mister Kebab, Tokyo Tokyo, KFC, Reyes Barbecue, Seafood Island, Red Kimono, Ral's, Pizza Hut, Figaro, Starbucks, Mercury Drugstore, Timezone, Bench Fix, National Bookstore, Mini Stop, Switch Apple Store, BPI, China Bank, Globe Business Center. Business buildings are also located here like HSBC, Manulife, Ayala Foundation, Inc, IBM, Convergys, Pointwest. Business Centers such as TechPortal, Delta, and Alpha houses a lot of BPO companies. Mezza Norte, Mercato Centrale's "sister" can also be found here every Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 6pm to 3am.

If you're an old timer around the QC Circle - Commonwealth Area, you would remember that this is the same grassy space where the Paskong Pasiklab carnival and peryahan was usually situated.
