■ TAFT AVENUE:
It is a major road in the south of Metro Manila. It passes through 3 cities in the metropolis: 
Manila,  Pasay and Parañaque. The road was named after former Governor-General of the Philippines and U.S. President, William Howard Taft. It is a component of Nat'l Route 170 (N170), a secondary road and anchors R-2 of the Manila arterial road network. Taft Ave starts at the Lagusnilad vehicular underpass at intersection with Padre Burgos Ave in Ermita. It then crosses the Ayala Blvd and Finance St and forms the eastern edge of Rizal Park up to Kalaw Ave. It then crosses UN Ave, Padre Faura St, Pedro Gil St, where it also crosses the district boundary with Malate, San Andres Street, Quirino Ave, and Pablo Ocampo St before entering the City of Pasay.

■ DIVISORIA:
It is a commercial center in between Tondo and Binondo in Manila, known for its shops selling low priced goods and diverse manufacturing activities. Divisoria is a term of Spanish origin, which translates as "division." This region was referred to as Divisoria due to its historical function dating back to the Spanish colonial period. That is, Divisoria "divided"  Intramuros, the "gated city," from Parian, where the Chinese were racially segregated. It is located in the 2nd district of Manila, which is Tondo. With no defined borders, Divisoria spans an area of about 0.5 km2 and is bisected by Recto Ave. It has gained a reputation for its poorly sanitized streets and poor-quality products but with the establishment of the Tutuban Centermall in 1993, the area saw the rise of other shopping malls that attracted by those from the higher classes. Attractions include: Tutuban Center, Andres Bonifacio Monument, Divisoria Mall, 168 Shopping Mall, Lucky Chinatown, Seng Guan Temple and Tutuban railway station.
