  1. Good article. When I was in Angeles I was told to take the Genesis Transport. This is good if you’re going to and from the Manilla airport (NAIA, Ninoy Aquino International Airport). You catch it in Angeles from the SM Mall and it goes to three terminals at NAIA and three other places in Manilla. The Victory Liner goes to SM Mall in Angeles.
